Brittany Mahomes Ditches Her Signature Blonde for Red Mermaid Hair and It’s Giving Sexy Ariel: ‘Feeling Spicy’

Brittany Mahomes is in her red era.

The former soccer player and wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes revealed a shocking hair change on April 10 on Instagram.

In the sexy photos, the mom of two, 28, rocks a fiery red hair color that is much different from her signature bleach blonde shade. Her mermaid waves are also several inches longer and are teamed with heavy layered curtain bangs. 

The hairdo, done by extension specialist and hairstylist Laurabeth Cabott, appears to be a wig, but that didn’t stop Brittany from having some fun with her hair. She experimented with two different kinds of styles, one of them being a voluminous blowout and the other a ‘90s-inspired tousled bun giving off redhead vixen vibes. A glossy nude-peach lip and winged cat eyeliner completed her glam. 

Brittany tapped into her new persona with a few different outfits, ranging from a black abs-baring bandeau with jeans and a scoop-neck bodysuit.

At some point during the shoot, it looks like she stripped down to nothing but a dazzling necklace and her massive diamond wedding as seen in a topless photo featured in the carousel. 

There’s only one way Brittany could’ve summed up her mood and that is: “feeling spicy.” 

Fans went wild over the star’s hair in the comment section. “In her red era,” someone raved, “Oh yeah! Live your best life,” wrote another follower. 

Her makeup artist Bex Pichelmann was equally obsessed with her client’s makeover. “Casually breaking the internet on a Wednesday afternoon,” she wrote. Cabott added, “Leave em on RED.”

Red hair is definitely new for Brittany, but serving a racy swim look? That’s a breeze for the most stylish NFL WAG around. 

In February, just days before the 2024 Super Bowl, Brittany made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut as the magazine’s 2024 Rookie. She turned up the heat in a bunch of skimpy red swimsuits, from a teeny triangle bikini to a Mugler cutout suit showcasing her rib tattoo. Later, she went on a girls’ trip and partied on a boat in a skin-revealing one-piece. 

Brittany definitely loves a major glam moment, but she also knows how to keep it real. Last month, she took to Instagram with a makeup-free selfie and opened up about her skin struggles. Giving her followers with a “daily reality check,” she revealed that she’d be dealing with breakouts on her face and then asked her followers for any advice. “Any tips send them my way…thanks friends,” she wrote.
