‘I Had to Look Twice’: Angela Simmons Switches It Up, Goes Blonde and Makes Fans Do a Double Take

Growing Up Hip Hop” actress Angela Simmons is stunting on the ‘Gram as a new blonde bombshell.

A week ago, the television personality changed her hairstyle, ditching her signature long tresses and going for a shoulder-length bob. Now she’s doing away with her black hair for a more vibrant hair color.

Simmons shook social media Wednesday evening and debuted her new blonde tresses to fans. Posing outside in a white, zig-zag bodysuit, distressed denim shorts, a white blazer and gold open-toe heels, Simmons showed off her dashing overall look.

She not only flaunted her blonde crinkled hair, she also brought attention to her full-face makeup, including a winged liner, smoky eye and nude lip.

“Renée is home 😏,” the 32-year-old star wrote in her caption, referencing her middle name.

Fans showered her post with hundreds of compliments.

“That blonde on you I’d everything 🔥 I had to look twice. We 👁👁 you Ang.”

“Color is everything on your skin tone 🔥 damn you Did that 😍.”

“I love the blonde on you. You rock that sexy mama ❤️.”

“Come THRU Blonde 👱🏽‍♀️ 😍 🔥 yes my fellow Virgo ♍️ @angelasimmons 🙌🏾 Work it momma!!!!!”

When Simmons isn’t busy showing off her fierce new makeup looks and fashion, she’s working and enjoying her life. She was recently spotted at a Tuesday evening kickoff party at The Lookup, which is an upscale rooftop lounge in New York City. She joined former “Real Housewives of New York” star Kelly Bensimon, NASCAR stock car racing greats Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, and many more to celebrate film producer Chris Barish’s newest project, according to Page Six. The details of Barish’s project are unknown.

And when Simmons isn’t enjoying her friends, she’s busy helping women change their mindset and lifestyle with her fitness and health program “BNB,” which stands for “Built Not Bought.” It’s meant to aid women suffering from low self-esteem, an issue Simmons has been very vocal about.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
