Valerie Bertinelli has surprised fans with a dramatic new hair look. Known for her brunette hair for decades, she recently appeared with a bold silver-gray style that many barely recognized at first.

The change was revealed in a short video shared by The Drew Barrymore Show. Valerie appeared alongside Drew Barrymore, with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton behind the transformation. The clip showed them switching from their usual hair colors to bright gray looks, which quickly drew attention online.
Bertinelli later explained that playing with hair can be fun, but feeling like herself matters more. She said that when she looks in the mirror, she wants to recognize the woman she feels like inside. For her, that is still closely tied to her natural brunette hair.
Now in her mid-60s, Bertinelli said she admires women who confidently embrace gray hair. She admitted she is still figuring out what feels right for her. The silver look, she said, is part of that personal journey.
Fans praised her honesty and openness. Many said her message about self-acceptance and aging naturally was more powerful than the hairstyle itself.
