- Rhea Ripley looks unrecognizable with blond hair in must-see throwback photos amid injury
In her announcement photo posted to Instagram, she's splayed across the floor, surrounded by records, with honey-blonde hair and black-brown roots. Although Ripley goes full glam for televised events, she keeps her face fresh for live shows. In an Instagram post shared by WWE, she still had a black and purple outfit on but was devoid of any of her usual makeup. "I like how pretty she looks when she's not wearing all that makeup," a fan commented. Sure enough, in a past photo shoot, Ripley explained why she likes going au naturel. Ripley has mow unveiled a hybrid of her two different hairstyles after sharing a photo of herself with her boyfriend and fellow wrestler, Demetri Jackson.
Rhea Ripley Sporting Platinum Blonde Hair In New Photo

Starting her WWE run at the young age of 20, Rhea Ripley entered the gates of the company with long blonde hair. A scared Rhea used her hair as a “hiding mechanism” and found an excuse to hide behind them whenever her comfort seemed far off. But comfort and success cannot go hand in hand, and Rhea too had to make a choice. She was on the verge of quitting wrestling, but she tried to give it one more shot, and that completely changed her future. Ripley changed her look at the end of 2018 as she cut a good portion of her long blonde hair into a short hairstyle, but that was not the end.

That said, I'll always welcome a fresh, new hair look on a celebrity because let's face it, my budget is nonexistent and I want to live vicariously through them. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, Rihanna Navy, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time Rih has appeared anywhere with blonde hair in years. Back in 2017, she had a blonde shag (truly way ahead of its time) for a hot minute, and in 2018 she wore a lengthy platinum-blonde wig. Ripley was sporting a new look during the show as she had extensions added to her hair giving her a longer hairstyle than fans are usually used to seeing from her – you can see an image of Ripley at the Kickoff show below.

WWE Draft: Jade Cargill Remains on SmackDown
WWE stars have to go into full character when they put on shows, which often means tons of heavy makeup. However, in a WWE makeup-free photo shoot in 2020, the female wrestlers were able to show their bare faces. "I absolutely hate wearing makeup. I only do it at work because it looks better with the HD cameras and it's just easier to get myself across the way that I wanna get myself across," Rhea Ripley shared. Soon, the short, blonde hair would get darker and Ripley added more tattoos to her arms and legs, matching the darker tone of her new wrestling persona, “The Nightmare”.
WWE Draft: Drew McIntyre Drafted To Raw
Rhea Ripley may be best known for her finishing moves in the wrestling ring but she is also recognized for her goth look, often donning spiked black ensembles and a face full of purple and black makeup. The WWE star didn't always rock the rebel style — in 2018, she joined the organization sporting long blond hair and a natural face, per Sportskeeda. Over the years, her character and look progressed into the one fans know and love today. Rhea kept on increasing the darker shade of her attire and adopted a darker hair color, more tattoos, and darker makeup, and with it, she became ‘The Nightmare’. Speaking about the change, she said, “I love being creepy and being dark and I love Motionless in White. I love supernatural stuff.” She claimed that her personality in the ring is quite similar to what she is in real life.
"So I cut my hair, and gradually it got shorter every week. Every NXT show, it got shorter and shorter. Now the 27-year-old Australian has shorter, black hair, a pierced tongue, a nose ring and black lipstick. A throwback photo of Ripley shows the wrestler with long blonde hair, little makeup and a beaming smile. Former NXT Women's Champion Rhea Ripley took to Instagram on Tuesday to show off her new look, dying her hair a considerably brighter shade of blonde. Fans seemed to love the photo of herself with her significant other Demetri Jackson, as it had more than 60,000 likes by Wednesday morning. Ripley was last seen on the first night of NXT's Great American Bash special, defeating Robert Stone and Aliyah in a handicap match to avoid joining the Robert Stone Brand.

‘We have this thing called car wash where you take all the photos and videos, leading up to the Mae Young Classic, so we get all the footage we need. Rhea ‘completely’ changed her ‘mental game’, and pushed herself to sign up to the gym before turning up to work with her new look. However, it’s taken time for her to grow into her now signature dark style, having previously sported a series of very different looks on TV.
One day, someone in the locker room suggested that shorter hair look would suit her and she decided to cut it. The haircut wasn't only a physical change — it was also a much-needed boost of confidence. Ripley is almost unrecognisable compared to how she looked at her WWE debut — fresh-faced with long, blonde hair — something she links to how she felt about things at the time. Rihanna might not be ready to bless our ears with new music, but she will grant us the gift of her old music on vinyl — and a very surprising new hair look. On November 4, the singer announced The RihIssue, a collection of her past albums on vinyl, all of which come with coordinating shirts (available here if you're curious).
Although it's hard to picture her without her signature look, Ripley proved to be just as inspiring without a lick of makeup on. The wrestling superstar joined WWE in 2017 and looked like a completely different person from the star that's seen on screen now. Rhea is almost unrecognizable, sporting blonde hair, although her sporty side has always been consistent, with her posing in a karate gi. However, Ripley may have her sights set on greater heights after Raw women’s champion Asuka named her as the person she would like to face at a possible second Evolution PPV.
She bested the duo in a 2-on-1 handicap match during the first week of the black and gold brand's 'Great American Bash' event. Nowadays, the Judgment Day’s current Women’s World Champion is instantly recognisable when she steps out in her all black style with matching jet black hair and makeup. Blending her in and off-screen personalities, Rhea Ripley is one of the best heels in the business. Her dark personality and heel character have been the prominent part of her current run in The Judgment Day.
It consisted of short blonde hairs with piercing and tattoos in her right arm and long tattoos in her right and left legs that go on to her thighs. Ripley gave fans a peek at her elaborate getting-ready process with her go-to makeup artist Laura Lomonaco, per WWE. Rhea Ripley competed in the Mae Young Classic, and being new to America, she had to go through a lot. The new look not only brought a change in her personality but also boosted her confidence. Ever since the time she made her debut in NXT, her hairs have been the talking point.
Rhea Ripley isn't always heavily made-up and she stepped out of character when she shared a beautiful, makeup-free selfie on Instagram in May. She still rocked her signature eyebrow slit and nose rings but otherwise, she looked almost unrecognizable without her usual black lipstick. WWE fans were all for her natural look and one wrote, "The prettiest girl in the whole world." Another quipped, "Best thing to come out of South Australia since the dual flush toilet." The Australian star went on to get herself new wrestling gear, which was completely black. She added more studs and darker makeup to her outfit, and the new personality took everyone by shock. Owing to the confidence she had with the look, she became the inaugural NXT UK Women’s Champion.
