‘NOO’: Toni Braxton Has a New Look, Fans Don’t Approve

R&B singer Toni Braxton, aka “Ms. Un-Break My Heart,” is doing the exact opposite, because fans are heartbroken over her new look.

The 52-year-old uploaded a new video of herself on her personal Instagram account earlier this week.

“Something new, what y’all think? ❤️,” the “Braxton Family Values” reality star captioned the video.

In the video, Braxton tells her fans that she has just returned from a photo shoot, and her glam squad convinced the mother of two to try something new.

While Braxton is often known for her bold short haircut, like on her 1993 “Another Sad Love Song,” single cover, Braxton instead had straight extensions in her hair and rocked a bright red eyeliner and lashes.

Fans were not here for the singer’s look and let her know in the comments section.

“I don’t like it, Toni….but with a face so beautiful it doesn’t matter much.”

“Absolutely NOT 👀.”

“Noooooo.”

“No red lashes, please🙏🏽❤️.”

“Nah, don’t like it, you’re fresh without all that.. just saying.”

“It’s fun, but no, I don’t really like it, but at the end of the day, if you like it, then do it ❤️❤️ @tonibraxton.”

“No, Toni 🤦🏽‍♀️.”

“Dis ain’t it.”

While the majority ruled that they weren’t a fan of Braxton’s bold fashion statement, some of her fans were supportive of the singer trying something new.

“You are Toni Braxton, Living Legend, of course. You can carry anything! ❤️😍😍😍.”

“I think it’s Gorgeous! A pop of color without too much drama yet still gam ❤️❤️.”

“I like it looks good on you♥️😍.”

“You look good in everything Toni ❤️.”

“It’s really pretty; the color looks great with your skin tone 💜.”

“Come through, momma 😍……can’t wait for the pictures to drop.”

Braxton’s recent fashion post may have been a miss, but most of the multi-award-winning artist’s looks have been a hit to her fans.

On Friday, Feb.7, when she sported a leopard print dress and heels, fans were loving Braxton’s outfit as she flaunted her figure in an Instagram video.

For her video caption, Braxton admitted to being shy, but fans didn’t see it that way and complimented Braxton’s physique.

“Lawd just drop dead gorgeous and still fine as hell 😩😩.”

“Toni the Stallion 😍.”

“Yesssssssssss🙌🏾 Work Toni!!!!! 🥰 My Fav.”

“Yesss Queen!! Kill it!!👏🏽🙌🏽😍.”

“Waist? SNATCHED! 🔥.”

“Let Em Know Toni the SLAYAGE is R E A L ‼️‼️‼”

On how she keeps herself in shape, Braxton revealed during a Healthy Living Magazine interview that she works out every day, which includes walking on a treadmill 40 minutes a day.

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.
