Last time we caught up with TOWIE's Dani Imbert on screen she was about to embark on a long-overdue romance with long-time friend Roman Hackett, following his, erm, Chloe Brockett misdemeanour in Thailand earlier this year.
Historically, a fair amount happens in the lives of these Essex kings and queens between one series ending and a new series airing, and from the looks of the casts' social media pages over the last few months, series 32 – which is rumoured to be starting on ITVBe very soon – is going to be VERY different to series 31.
Take Dani Imbert, for example, since the last episode of series 31 aired just before summer, she has split from Roman (or it never took off, no doubt we'll find out soon), seemingly lost bestie Ella Rae Wise, gained a new best friend in the shape of former rival Chloe, AND she's transformed her signature hairstyle into something well, very Chloe Brockett, leaving some fans seeing (quite literally) a very different Dani to the one who was seen forgiving Roman on her doorstep at the end of series 31.
The Essex-based beauty recently took to her Instagram grid to show-off her brand-new "princess" hair – courtesy of Chloe's on/off hair and makeup guru Richie Maffia (our Chloe gets her hair done A LOT) – and a fresh make-up look, leaving many of her fans stunned, with some questioning whether she'd actually uploaded a picture of X Factor star Leona Lewis or former TOWIE star Lauren Pope.
One fan commented, "Thought this was Leona Lewis for a minute!"
Another wrote, "Wow first look I thought it was @laurenpopey xx."
A third added, "I genuinely didn't recognise you, you looked bloody STUNNING girl 🔥, while another wrote, "New hairrrr ah whoooo disss???😍😍😍😍😍"
Dani captioned the stunning snap, "It’s giving princess👸🏼", and we couldn't agree more. In fact, we're bowing.
If you're wondering just how Dani achieved her iconic new look, her hair stylist revealed all on an Instagram.
Posting the same stunning picture of the TOWIE star, Richie wrote, "It’s official… Dani’s joined the A team 🙊✌🏼 New colour by @richiegmaffia using @angelremyhairextension Hair Extensions to complete the look. ✨
"We used 200g Rooted 8-16-60 24” SuperWeft alongside some tapes to thicken the face frame…"
