The formerly blond Scream star paired her new hairstyle with pink eyeshadow and lipstick.

Her makeup artist, Janice Daoud, commented on her Instagram post , "Pretty in pink." She also shared a photo showing Hayden's new 'do from a side angle.

The actress' colorist wrote on her own Instagram, "So much fun giving @haydenpanettiere her bubble gum pink dream hair."

The Nashville alum had actually showcased her new 'do publicly for the first time last week, when she was photographed at Los Angeles International Airport with Brian Hickerson.
