Fans Go Nuts for Joseline Hernandez’s Dramatic New Look

Ex-VH1 reality star Joseline Hernandez from the popular series “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” completely switched up her look.

The 32-year-old mother is known for her overly sexy attire and waist-length tresses. However, it appears that Hernandez has traded in her long-haired don’t-care ‘do for something more simple and sleek.

The reality star uploaded a chain of photos this week to her Instagram showing off her new short hairdo and less-revealing garments. In one of the photos, Hernandez appears to be sitting inside a high-end restaurant with a glass of champagne in front of her as her eyes meet the camera.

She wore a crisscross blouse that revealed a smidgen of her cleavage underneath a gray-plaid blazer. Her hair was sleeked back in a short wet look with her sides tapered. She wrote in her caption, ” Jugando Ajedrez ♟,” which means “playing chess” in English.

In another photo, Hernandez is sitting outside in front of her “pool bathroom.” This time, she paired her short haircut with a bold red lippie and glam makeup look. She also sported a multi-colored long-sleeve chiffon blouse with a black tie.

Fans of the “Puerto Rican Princess” went bananas over her newfound look and “chic” black haircut.

“Favorite hair look on you!!!! 😩,” a fan commented. “It’s edgy and chic! This style is cute.”

Another added, “I love when you dress appropriately lol especially how you dressed on the real beautiful lady! I can’t think of anybody who looks better lol and I love the short hair 😍😍 on you is beautiful you can see your natural beauty.”

“Is it me or does Joseline look professional and classy?” a fan asked. “Sexy short hair! Fits you beautifully Boriqua!😍.”

Hernandez considers herself quite the fashionista and even got into a mini-spat with the Kardashians and Jenners after accusing them of stealing her fashion style.

During a 2017 segment of “The Real” which the 32-year-old co-hosted, she blasted Kylie Jenner as copying her style after a blog posted a side-by-side photo of them both wearing Purple Balenciaga spandex thigh-high boots that retail at $1,395. Hernandez was offended by the comparison and seemingly threw shade the 21-year-old’s way.

“Well first of all, I’m her mama. She’s my daughter, OK?” Hernandez shadily said. “She copies me, Kim [Kardashian] copies me — all of them copy me. I’m going to tell you where real street style comes from — the real street style comes from the streets. The girls like me. The girls that [are] fly. The girls that don’t have that much money to be able to afford $2,000 boots.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
