Jennifer Love Hewitt has unveiled a dramatic new look for her character Maddie in the upcoming tenth season of 9-1-1.

The 43-year-old has sported several hair lengths and colors during her time as the dispatcher, but next season will see her with her boldest look yet.

Season nine saw Maddie rocking red hair after favoring brunette locks in the past, but when the ABC procedural returns, she will be a blonde bombshell.

Jennifer shared a video of her new look on Instagram, revealing her freshly dyed blonde hair and cut. "Season 10 hair ready! Let's go!" she wrote.

Her "beautiful" hair transformation was a hit with her followers, with one commenting: "You can literally pull off every color." A second said: "Maddie is gonna serve in season 10, OMG!" 

A third added: "Season 10 Maddie walking in like she's about to solve three cases and emotionally wreck us in one episode."

In April, Jennifer went from shoulder-length, red locks to golden-blonde with copper-red undertones after wrapping the latest season of 9-1-1.

"We always do a hair change for hiatus! I loved time with my girls and this new look @nikkilee901 @tarynhoustonn @seama901," she wrote, adding: "We did something Wella good!"

It seems that Jennifer enjoyed her lighter hair color so much, she went even blonder ahead of her return to set, and fans will get to see a blonde Maddie when 9-1-1 returns in the fall.

Jennifer's confession about her body insecurity

Jennifer has been an icon since she found fame in the 90s and became known as a "sex symbol" to many.

However, last July, she admitted that the added attention on her body left her feeling "insecure."

"It bothers me more now than it did at that age because I was in it," Jennifer told Vulture.

Jennifer became a sex symbol in the '90s

"Before I even knew what sex was, I was a sex symbol. I still don't know that I have that fully defined for myself because it started so weird."

Jennifer became hyper-aware of her body in 2007 after photos of her wearing a bikini in the ocean while vacationing with her then-fiancé Ross McCall surfaced alongside the headline, "Stop Calling Me Fat!"

"I was having the time of my life. I had made up the dumbest song about eating snacks and playing in the ocean, and I was singing it to my boyfriend out loud, doing some weird dance move, and they got the picture, and then it was on the cover," she explained.

Jennifer became insecure about her body

Jennifer admitted that seeing the headline left her heartbroken. "I don't think I was ever really insecure until that cover. And then when it happened, I don't know that I've ever recovered from it."

She added: "Because there's a part of me that's always like, 'Is this version going to be good enough, or is that going to happen again?' Where somebody's going to be like, 'Hey, this is her without makeup at the cleaners. She looks 59.'"

Thinking about why those photos still affect her today, Jennifer explained: "Because that was me. I think that's why the insecurity carried on. I don't know if I've even ever put that together for myself other than right now."
