Katharine McPhee: Blonde Ambition

Brunette beauty Katharine McPhee goes blonde in the cover shoot for her upcoming album Unbroken, which hits stores October 6.

The 25-year-old American Idol alum, who worked with stylist Peter Savic, tells People, “My music is a little more edgy so that inspired me to be adventurous. I’ve never dyed my hair before so this was a pretty drastic change. I’ve always been known as a brunette but I’ve been thinking about it for a long time and it kind of just fit with all of the searching with the music and experimenting that I would do the same thing with my look.”

Kat continued, “The look has affected the way I dress, it’s inspired me to be more adventurous with what I decide to wear. It’s silly that something so simple as changing your hair could have such a big effect. I’m just having fun with it. This is a great time for me to do something different. I’m young — I always try to have a good time.”

She looks very pretty as a blonde, but she’d look pretty in any hair color:-)

This is an edgier look for her. I like it. Although my favorite is more of the natural look. This is a change up for her, she gets props for being brave.

I think she should stick to her original color, brunette .

Another Scientologist , married to an older guy , who thinks she is talented…katies holmes should be her bff

i like her more blonde!!

Looks good. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’ll do anything for her career, or lack of it.

I don’t think blonde works for her. It washes out her features. As a brunette however, she is stunning!

I actually like this look for her. She looks beautiful.

She looks pretty anyway, but I prefer her as a brunette!

ehh naw, blond aint working
she looks much better as a brunette
majorly cute as a brunette
also probably another reason i dont like it is cuz it’s shorter

she looks amazing. cant wait for her new album!

I think she looks washed out. She looks so cute with her darker hair. Why do people go blonde anyway? BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!

She’d look wonderful with purple hair! Her CD will be out on Oct 6—that’s what I’m excited for. I pre-ordered her CD/DVD yesterday.

She’s hot as a firecracker except for the eyebrows… Reminds me of Madonna when she was in that Shanghai movie with Sean Penn.

Disgusting…Madonna that is!

Blonde hair isn’t for everyone. Katharine has dark features and the blonde looks horrible on her. It doesn’t help that her eyebrows are dark too. Her hair is too bleached. If she wanted to be a blonde, she should’ve tried a darker shade.

I hope for her sake its a wig…As the old saying goes if its not broken don’t fix it.

she just has such great natural beauty that this change is lovely.. blond, brunet, she’s a stunner.

she looks awesome, just wish she had a little more true artistic originality, but hey, maybe she’ll work on that too.
