Balenciaga Mama: Keyshia Cole Debuts New Hairdo, Leaves the ’Gram Speechless

Keyshia Cole proved she’s one of many artists who can rock any hairstyle or hair color.

The R&B crooner took to her Instagram story on Monday evening and uploaded a photo of herself rocking multi-colored hair. She cut her hair into a bob that included light blue, blond and rose gold streaks throughout.

Along with her edgy new hairdo, Cole flossed her modish style and sported a graphic-print sweat suit, light blue fur slides and a black Balenciaga crossbody pouch that retails for around $1,000. She posed sitting atop a wall, while looking down.

Just last week, the 38-year-old singer flaunted her bone-straight honey-blond tresses along with her new snapback body. She’s been hitting the gym lately after giving birth to her newborn son three months ago. The second-time mother unveiled her slim stomach and bodacious derriere to the camera.

“I’m Back in the Gym, tryna get right 😩!” she captioned her post on November 6. “#BabyTobias #DidntDoTooMuchDamage #OperationGetRight 💕.”

Fans flooded Cole with compliments, gushing over her appearance.

“Keyshia a heartbreaker! You don’t look like you had a baby. 🎁❤️👑 You are still 🔥 get it girl!” one fan exclaimed.

Another added, “Boddyy 🔥 you Look Good boo Keyshia got that snap back body 👀 love you sis.”

Cole and her boyfriend Niko Khale Hale, 24, welcomed their first child, Tobias Khale, on August 1. She is also the mother of 10-year-old son Daniel Gibson Jr., whom she shares with now-estranged husband and former NBA player Daniel Gibson.

Those who support the “Let It Go” artist will get an opportunity to view her pregnancy journey on her upcoming BET reality series titled “My New Life.” It’s slated to air on Monday, Nov. 18, at 10 p.m. Cole shared the show’s trailer on her social media page late last month, writing, “Our personal little home video. 💁🏽‍♀️ (On a bigger scale 😂) I’m soooo happy to share!!! @tobiaskhale will Always have this beautiful moment to look back on! 🥰❤️💕🧸🙏🏽We All will!!!!”

Still independent.

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.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
