Ellen DeGeneres Debuts New Brunette Look
The change in hair color for the former television host was first noticed in November 2024.
Ellen DeGeneres shows how refreshing a new look can be for one’s confidence.
Several months after she was seen with a shorter, darker hairstyle, Ellen shared a closer view in an Instagram video dated Sunday, May 4.
In the video, Ellen is captured mowing her lawn on a riding mower, likely at her new residence in the U.K., a move confirmed by a source to PEOPLE in November 2024.

The video starts with Ellen confidently handling the mower with a caption “How it started.” Later, the clip transitions to her and a man pushing the mower up a hill.
Laughter from Ellen’s wife, Portia de Rossi, can be heard as the video ends with both Ellen and the man pushing the mower, captioned “How it ended.”
Ellen captioned the post, “Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time mowing. She was right.”
While the focus wasn’t on her hair, Ellen’s new brunette locks were clearly visible as she completed her chore.
The first public glimpse of Ellen’s hair transformation was on November 13, 2024, in a post from The Farmer’s Dog pub in the Cotswolds and musician Natalie Imbruglia.
In that clip, Ellen, sporting her new hairstyle, was seen enjoying a live music session with her wife and friends.
“Ellen was house hunting in England early October. She found and purchased a home she loved shortly thereafter,” a source shared with PEOPLE in late November.
Since relocating, Ellen has been actively sharing snippets of her new lifestyle on social media, including a recent photo of a double rainbow captured by her wife from their farmhouse.
