Donald Trump’s new hairstyle has caught widespread attention online. According to the New York Post, the U.S. president—long known for his distinctive blonde-golden hair—was photographed with noticeably darker, almost brown hair. The change was noticed on Friday, shortly after Air Force One landed, as Trump headed to his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for the weekend.

Darker hair for Trump sparks surprise on social media

The images quickly circulated on social networks, prompting surprise and jokes. Trump has rarely altered the hairstyle he is famously proud of, which over the years has become one of the most recognizable features of his image. “If I hadn’t downloaded the photos from Getty Images myself, I wouldn’t have believed it,” one user wrote.

Unclear whether the change is temporary or permanent

The following day the tycoon played a round of golf with Fox News journalist Bret Baier, but wore a red cap reading “Trump was right about everything,” which hid much of the new shade. It remains to be seen whether this is a brief change or a lasting new look.
