The lifestyle mogul celebrated her milestone birthday with an aesthetic overhaul.
Martha Stewart is entering her 85th year with a rosy new look.
The lifestyle mogul debuted rose gold hair in an Instagram post on Sunday, swapping her signature blonde locks for a soft pink shade just days after celebrating her birthday.
Stewart showed off the transformation in a joint Instagram post with celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton, posing for a series of sultry shots as Appleton stood behind her and played with her freshly colored hair.
“Rose gold …. It’s a good thing 🌹✨,” they captioned the post.
Appleton, 43, who has worked with stars including Drew Barrymore, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Lopez, also shared a video documenting the makeover.

The clip begins with a blonde Stewart mouthing along to Meryl Streep’s cutting line from The Devil Wears Prada: “Pull yourself together, we have work to do, and by we, I mean you.”
Appleton then covers the camera with his hand before revealing Stewart’s rose gold hair as Madonna’s “Vogue” plays.
“Welcome to the rose gold era 🌹✨,” he captioned the video.
Appleton brightened Stewart’s hair with Schwarzkopf Professional Blondme highlights before applying an all-over gloss using the brand’s Igora Vibrance line, sharing the exact formula he used to achieve the rosy look on Instagram.

The transformation had some fans doing a double-take.
“I am not sure that is Martha Stewart. A lookalike, perhaps,” one commenter wrote.

Others were sold on the shade, with one writing, “Amazing what rose gold hair color does for the skin tone. 🩷”
The pink is a bigger departure from Stewart’s usual blonde than her last Appleton makeover. In January, the hairstylist gave her a “mocha mousse” transformation, adding light brown tones to her hair before she later returned to a lighter shade.
Stewart’s latest switch-up comes just days after she turned 85 on Aug. 3.

“Eighty-five is just a number,” she told People while celebrating the milestone. “That’s all I consider it.”
And while Stewart may be getting more adventurous with her hair, there is one beauty transformation she still refuses to embrace: plastic surgery.
“Everybody insists that I’ve had plastic surgery and I have not ever had plastic surgery,” Stewart told People earlier this year.
Instead, Stewart has said she favors less invasive upkeep, including occasional fillers, Botox, and skin-tightening treatments with dermatologist Dr. Daniel Belkin.
