Halsey debuted a new pitch-black hair color, and while it’s in the same cheekbone bob and baby bangs silhouette they’ve been seen in recently, it’s not crazy to think it might be a wig for the sake of a more traditionally formal look to go with the film festival’s fancy vibes. But we suspect it might actually be a stunning dye job.

When Halsey was spotted again arriving at the Hotel Excelsior on September 1 in a satiny, taupe, off-the-shoulder gown, the previously flipped-out ends were smoothed under. And a very close look at Halsey’s hairline seems to reveal that her hair is definitely dyed.

Halsey wore the Amelie-esque look again at the premiere of The Smashing Machine, where she wore a sheer, yellow halter gown. While on the red carpet, Halsey was even seen interacting with a blue-haired fan, who we can only hope isn’t too bummed that she didn’t match with the star.

A few weeks ago, Halsey revealed that they dyed their hair a vibrant shade of turquoise, which instantly drew fan comparisons to the many times over the last decade that the singer-songwriter has donned blue dye and wigs. It’s actually been a good, long while since she’s given us some Tumblr realness, so the reveal that this was a seemingly long-term commitment to a vivid color feels like it may be signaling a bigger shift away from all of the neutral, low-key looks we’ve been seeing from so many celebrity beauty icons in the last few years.

But even though the blue baby bangs and bob are a big break from current beauty norms, it seems Halsey may already be a little bored.

On Wednesday, August 20, they posted a selfie video to their Instagram Stories with a whimsical butterfly filter. Not a filter, however: the latest changes to her hair.

What was once decidedly a chin-length bob is now a cheekbone bob. In fact, it’s nearly a bowl cut, if not for the fact that she cut her baby bangs even shorter and a bit choppier than before.

But the biggest reveal comes when Halsey runs their fingers through their hair to show gradient layers of color underneath: The turquoise switches to emerald green and then highlighter yellow.
