Looks likeBarbie feverisn’t just gripping cinemas worldwide, but also the fancy New York City townhouses of talk show queens!
Kelly Ripa, 52, co-host ofLive! With Kelly and Mark, has iced up her life with a touch more blonde in time for her summer sojourn with her husband and co-hostMark Consuelos.
Posting to hisInstagramaccount, her long-time hairstylistRyan Trygstadshowed off his client’s golden highlights and gorgeous waves, freshly styled.
“A bit more blonde for@kellyripabefore vacation!” Trygstad wrote, to which the follower response was anything but bristly.
“Gorgeous as always!!” wrote one fan. Another posted, “Oooh la la,” while a third noted the color looked like “Barbie blonde.”
“New color is amazing. I am jealous of all her hair. Halo/extensions or all kelly?!!” one fan asked, to which Trygstad confirmed that the thick hair was, “all Kelly,” no hair extensions added.
Trygstad, an in-demand hairdresser who has been Ripa’s stylist for two decades, has also cared for the hair ofMargot Robbie,Naomi WattsandBlake Lively, so it stands to reason he knows a thing or two about lighter, brighter shades.
“Mygray hair became more prominentthan my dark hair,” Ripa said onLive!back in 2021, adding, “So we kept it blonder because it was more practical.”

In March 2020, the star poked fun at the fact that she couldn’t book a routine hair appointment while social distancing. “Root watch week one,” she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time, sharing a snapshot that showed some of her root growth after having to go without a color treatment on her hair.
