Lady Gaga looks like a mermaid thanks to her new hair color.
On Friday, the "Rain On Me" musician took to Instagram with a photo of herself lounging in a white undergarment set. Her hair is blonde in the image, but with light-blue streaks mixed throughout. In the caption of her post, Gaga described the color as "Ocean Blonde," and said it was inspired by her hairstylist's mother, who recently died.
"Hello Merpeople," Gaga wrote. "Rocking color by @fredericaspiras named after his mother who just passed... Suzie's Ocean Blonde. I love you Freddie this was extra special glamour with love "
In his own Instagram post on Friday, hairstylist Frederic Aspiras opened up about his mother's death, and said that working on Gaga's new hairstyle helped give him "joy again."
"The thing about grieving is most all days are hard, an overbearing of emotions until it fades away for a moment then comes back again," Aspiras wrote. "Dark clouds and fog fill my vision of sadness. I've come so desperately to find every bit of joy in the smallest things."
"Being that my Mother was my role model as a hairdresser, I'm trying my hardest to find the joy even in what I love to do the most, which is doing hair," he continued. "Yesterday, @ladygaga, you gave me back my joy again by reminding me what my Mom told me long ago about what I loved to do the most and that is create with love."
Aspiras added: "You wiped my tears away and lifted my chin from off the ground as I walk. So, thank you for allowing me to create this hair on you and showing me what the true meaning of living is. ❤️"
Of course, Gaga is no stranger to dyeing her hair bold colors. In 2018, for example, she wore icy silver hair that sometimes looked lilac depending on the light.
Then in October 2019, the musician showed off a vibrant pink hairstyle to commemorate the "A Star is Born" soundtrack going multi-platinum.
Most recently, however, Gaga's hair appeared to be entirely blonde in a selfie she posted to Instagram on August 8.
"have a glamorous Saturday, from my home to yours " she wrote at the time.
