The Real Housewives of New York City beauty said sayonara to her trademark blonde crop and hello to luscious chestnut curls.

Dorinda Medley is low-key a fashion and beauty chameleon: The Real Housewives of New York City blonde has the rare ability to take on the look of other well-known faces without ever changing her signature look. First, she accidentally channeled her celeb doppelgänger Edie Falco in a poolside pic; then she proved she's basically a dead ringer for Justin Bieber. But now, Dorinda is showing off a darker side in a new magazine cover shoot where she's practically unrecognizable as a brunette. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

On November 25, Dorinda shared a series of pics showing her posing for the cover of Jez Magazine with a completely unfamiliar look: deep chestnut hair in tight, shoulder-length curls. In the pics, the Manhattan mom wears a bold black-and-white striped suit with a matching beret and a soft, smoky eye.

We barely recognized Dorinda without her uber-short, sassy blonde cut, but then again, this shade is closer to her natural hair color, according to her previous posts. 

Wait, should Dorinda go brunette?
