It's turning out to be a hair-raising week!

First Kim Kardashian, then Reese Witherspoon, and now Rihanna is the latest gorgeous celeb to shake things up.

The Barbadian beauty posted this shot of herself (topless?) on Twitter yesterday, revealing quite an eye-catching new 'do.

But why the big change?

"#Back2Work 1st Cover of the year!!!!" she tweeted. "I dyed it for #ELLE."

The provocative singer—who's been sporting a more natural brown shade in the last few months—added that her lighter locks are the product of "bleach + weave."

A few hours later, Ri-Ri took her return to blondeness out to the Lakers game in L.A., where she was kind enough to pose for pics with some fans.

So what do you think of Rihanna's latest hairstyle? Sound off in the comments!
