Roseanne Barr recently joined the ranks of celebrities trying out a fresh new look, taking to social media to debut a hairstyle that sparked a wave of reactions from her fans.
While it’s not uncommon for celebrities to switch up their appearance, it always seems to generate buzz. The ever-changing styles of public figures often capture the interest and curiosity of the masses. So, when Barr unveiled her new pixie haircut, it didn’t take long for fans to chime in with their thoughts.
At 71 years old, Barr shared pictures on Instagram of her transformation, trading her long, gray hair for a textured pixie cut. She simply captioned the post with “Cut.”
As expected, her post attracted plenty of attention. Most fans were thrilled with her new look, leaving a stream of positive comments.
One fan enthusiastically wrote, “Wow makes you look younger and hot!!!!”
Another fan, inspired by Barr’s change, commented, “I love it. You and I are the same age. I’ve always had long hair but lately I’ve been thinking of cutting it. Now that I’ve seen how good you look, I just might do it.”
Another admirer said, “Beautiful Roseanne! Keep waking people up!!! We love you so much.”
Other reactions included compliments like “Looks incredible Roseanne!” and “LOVE the hair!!!”
According to reports, the hairstylist behind Barr’s new look is Andre Walker, who has also worked with stars like Halle Berry and Oprah Winfrey.
Roseanne Barr first gained widespread fame in the late 1980s, playing the iconic role of Roseanne Conner in the hit ABC sitcom Roseanne. The show was conceived after the producers of The Cosby Show aimed to create a family comedy with a more grounded, no-frills approach.
When Roseanne premiered in 1988, it became an instant success, with 21 million households tuning in for the first episode, marking the best debut that year. The show went on to enjoy a successful ten-season run, earning Barr several prestigious awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
In recent years, Barr’s career faced a major hurdle following a tweet in which she compared Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to former President Barack Obama, to an ape. The tweet caused outrage and led to the cancellation of her show.
Though Barr is an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump, she later attributed her controversial tweet to poor health and emotional instability, as reported by People. She expressed regret for the incident and issued a public apology. Following the backlash, she took a break from the public eye.
Despite her apology, the planned revival of Roseanne was ultimately canceled. Since then, Barr has undergone a significant transformation, both personally and professionally, stepping back from the spotlight to regroup.
