Ariana Madix has never been shy to experiment with her hair, from the length to the color, but the look she wore while hosting Peacock’s Love Island USA this week just may be her most dramatic look yet, thanks to what we can only assume is a wig. Regardless, the stunning super-dark look will leave you speechless. 

In an Instagram Reel posted by hairstylist Carl Bembridge, Ariana’s (likely temporary) long, flowing nearly black hair is on full display (more on that below). The hairstylist captioned the look, “Moment On The Dark Side.” Ariana further leaned into the vibe with a red pleather dress and matching platform heels, which fit into the sexy theme of the night.

The Love Island USA contestants were left floored by her look, even calling her a “bombshell.”

“I’m definitely feeling a bit naughty tonight,” the Vanderpump Rules alum told the contestants during Love Island USA Season 7, Episode 9, which is currently streaming on Peacock and featured Ariana in all her dark hair glory.

According to several Instagrams he’s posted, Carl has been working with Ariana on her stunning hairstyles as she hosts Peacock’s Love Island USA. The pair have mostly opted for hip-length blonde hair this season, but this week tried out something completely different for Ariana with this unexpected color in this wig choice. 

In fact, the color caught the attention of Ariana’s friends across the Bravosphere, including her BFF, Katie Maloney, who commented, with multiple alarm emojis (Ariana returned the compliment with a smiling heartface emoji). Meanwhile, Paige DeSorbo commented, “I mean now you have to dye it.”
 

Ariana Madix teases Love Island USA Season 7

Season 7 of Love Island USA is currently streaming on Peacock. In a video shared to the Peacock Instagram account ahead of the premiere, Ariana shared her hopes for the season. “What I want to see on Season 7 is girl power. I want to see true love,” she said. “I want to see crazy challenges. And as much as I love the drama, I really just want to see people having fun.”

She also shared her advice for the contestants as they go on their journey to find love. “My advice for Islander guys is be there for the right reasons. I’m not here for guys trying to get up their Instagram following,” she said, adding, “Advice for Islander girls? Never settle for less than what you truly know you deserve.”
