Kelsey Anderson, a standout from season 28 of The Bachelor, has made a bold change to her signature hairstyle. But the big question is, what does her fiancé, Joey Graziadei, think of her glamorous new look?
Kelsey, a 25-year-old junior account executive from New Orleans, Louisiana, first appeared on the show during its premiere night. With her warm demeanor and striking mane of long hair, she quickly caught Joey’s eye. Competing against 31 other women for Joey’s heart, Kelsey ultimately won his final rose, securing their place as a happily engaged couple.
Since leaving the show, the couple has spent nearly every moment together. Although they initially faced financial challenges, they’ve since transitioned into successful social media influencers with large followings. As a public figure whose image is now a significant part of her career, Kelsey’s decision to change her iconic hairstyle was a big risk.
During a solo date on The Bachelor, Joey had playfully told Kelsey to never “tame the mane,” making it clear that he loved her long, wavy locks just the way they were. Joey’s admiration for Kelsey’s natural beauty has been evident throughout their relationship, and it’s unlikely that a haircut would change how he feels.
In July, Kelsey shared a TikTok video documenting her visit to the hair salon. The clip began with shots of Kelsey before the haircut, showcasing her wild, wavy hair. It then transitioned to the styling session and ended with a reveal of her new look. Despite cutting off at least six inches and adding highlights, Kelsey’s transformation wasn’t too drastic—likely a relief to Joey, who fell in love with her original style.
A few days after her salon visit, Kelsey posted another TikTok showing off her fresh haircut. Dressed in a chic navy blue and white striped off-the-shoulder mini dress with red lipstick, Kelsey looked effortlessly stylish. The new highlights in her hair added a brightening effect to her eyes. The video concluded with a shot of Kelsey in Joey’s arms, a clear sign that Joey approves of her new look.
Since her journey on The Bachelor and falling in love with Joey, Kelsey’s life has seen many changes—her hairstyle being the latest.
