Love Island star Zara McDermott has showcased her ‘new hair’ after opting to go a darker shade for summer amid continued interest in her rumoured romance with Louis Tomlinson
Presenter Zara McDermott has been met with compliments from fans after showcasing her “new hair”. The Love Island star unveiled her latest look in a photo this weekend and revealed that she had opted for a change ahead of summer.
Zara, 28 – who’s pursued a career on TV as a documentary filmmaker since appearing on the ITV2 show in 2018 – gave a glimpse of her hairstyle on Instagram earlier this evening. She shared a photo of herself modelling her “new hair” whilst at a salon in London following the treatment.
The reality TV star, who’s typically sported a lighter hairstyle, revealed to her followers on the platform that she had chosen to go “dark caramel” at her latest appointment. She teased that her team had worked “magic” on her hair.
Alongside the new selfie, Zara wrote in the caption: “Dark caramel for summer.” She used several emojis, including one depicting sunshine and another representing a jar of honey, in the recent post, which already has more than 16,000 likes.
She concluded the caption by expressing gratitude to hair stylist Grace and colour specialist Alexe, who work for brand Hershesons, over the transformation. Before tagging them, Zara said in the post: “Thank you for working your magic.”
The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant went on to promote her post on her Instagram Story. Teasing over the change to her appearance, she told her followers: “New hair.” Zara put a series of heart emojis beside the caption.
Her new look was met with compliments in the comments section of her initial post. One fan reacted: “I’m obsessed with your new hair colour Zara.” Sharing their thoughts, another person told her: “This colour suits you so much.”
A third follower commented: “You look stunning Zara.” Someone else wrote in their reply to the post: “Oh wow that’s a fabulous colour on you.” Whilst one person said on the platform earlier: “Omg! Your stylist works wonders.”
Others said that Zara looked “absolutely gorgeous” and “beautiful” in the newly-released photo. Someone else said: “Wow [Zara] you look so stunning with darker hair.” Whilst another follower told the presenter: “I love your new hair.”
The update comes just days after Zara reflected on last month in a round-up post on the platform. It included photos of her from trips abroad that she enjoyed in recent weeks, with some of them having shown her out in the US.
She didn’t share any photos of herself and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, 33, whom she’s thought to be dating, despite them having spent time together whilst she was in California. The rumoured couple, who have been romantically linked since March, were spotted sharing a kiss at one point.
The post however attracted reaction from some of Louis’ family though. His sister Lottie Tomlinson, 26, replied with a heart emoji, prompting Zara to share a kissing emoji back. Younger sibling Phoebe Tomlinson, 21, shared kissing emojis herself, with Zara responding with emojis of a heart and lips.
