"I think [Blake] is having a lot of fun!" Rona O'Connor, celebrity color expert and beauty tastemaker on ThisNext.com, told Us Weekly about dyeing the star's hair in June. "She has gotten a chance to make a new statement and feel a little different. In this case it was for a character, which has helped her feel more in the role. I think she looks absolutely beautiful!"

"Honestly, I kind of feel like a soccer mom. There's nothing wrong with soccer moms, but I'm only 22! I miss [my hair,] believe me, I do, but there's nothing I can do about it."
