New Blonde Look Debuts for Season 10
In a Thursday Instagram video posted on July 16, the 47-year-old actress runs her fingers through freshly lightened, medium-length hair featuring curtain bangs. She captions the clip, “Season 10 hair ready! Let’s go!” referring to the upcoming season of ABC’s procedural drama 9-1-1, in which she plays dispatcher Maddie Buckley. Fans immediately praised the transformation in the comment section, describing the look as “gorgeous” and “badass.”
Styling Details and Fan Reaction
The shade, described by colorist Nikki Lee as “Sunset Lover,” follows a honey-blond hue Hewitt wore during the show’s hiatus earlier in the year. Lee noted on an Instagram Story that viewers had requested she keep the blond, prompting the decision to retain it for Season 10.
Background on Hewitt’s Hair Changes
Hewitt’s current color marks the third distinct shade her character has sported across consecutive seasons. She previously sported a copper-red tone introduced in May 2025, a change that lasted through Season 9. Earlier in the series hiatus, she experimented with a honey-blond look, which generated fan campaigns urging her to stay light.
