At this point, Nadia Bartel’s glossy golden locks are just as iconic as that ice-blue J’Aton Couture dress she wore to the Brownlow Awards in 2019 (the things we’d do to get a mere glimpse at her wardrobe IRL…) Which is why everyone on Instagram is losing their minds over her new platinum blonde ‘do.

It all started when the 35-year-old gave fans a sneak peek at photoshoot she starred in over the weekend.
“Who dis,” she captioned the post, her shoulder-length bob and full fringe front and centre.
Many of her 547k followers were quick to flood the comments section with their words of approval.
“Omg! Love this 🔥” wrote Lindy Klim.
“Yes my girl! Love this 😘 2021 look out,” added designer Lana Wilkinson.
Unfortunately, however, the change-up isn’t permanent. In a follow-up post, Nadia revealed she was wearing a wig for the occasion.
“Loved mixing things up today @jade__kmakeup @dancastano @wearerushhunter @tina_n_hair,” she penned.
That’s not to say that she won’t be succumbing to the scissors – and bleach – in the future.
After beauty guru Zoe Foster Blake prompted her to “do it” for real, Nadia replied, “seriously tempted now.”
Her transformation comes just a few days after she shared that she would be keeping the Bartel surname, despite having no regrets over her split with her ex-husband and AFL great Jimmy Bartel.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, she reasoned that she “can’t imagine” having different surnames to the children she shares with her ex, Aston, four, and Henley, two.
“Right now, I want to have the same name as the boys,” she said when asked if she’d be reverting back to her maiden name of Coppolino.
“I can’t imagine having another surname,” she added.
“If I didn’t have children it would be a different story. I don’t know what I might do in the future.”
The single mum has recently been linked to personal trainer Nathan Brodie, with the pair spotted on a romantic date at a park in Melbourne last month.
