ARIANA Grande has ditched her blonde hairdo for natural brunette locks at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

The actress arrived to the 83rd annual ceremony with a total hair transformation after spending the past two years with a platinum hairstyle.

Ariana, 32, committed to her Wicked character, Glinda, by trading in her darker hair color for blonde; however, she switched back to her original roots for Sunday night’s awards.

The singer arrived at the red carpet with her hair tied back in a sleek, high ponytail.

She donned a black off-the-shoulder gown that hugged her petite figure at the top before billowing at the waist.

The Thank U, Next singer kept her makeup simple with winged eyeliner and accessorized with diamond jewelry.

“I’ve never been so happy to see a brunette ponytail,” one person wrote on X.

“OH SHE IS SO BACK,” said another.

“SHE LOOKS STRAIGHT OUT OF 2019,” a third commented.

“Omg the dark brows and hair she’s back,” added a fourth.

The Only Murders in the Building star posed alongside her musician husband, Benny Blanco, who sported a black suit for the evening.

Additionally, Love Island USA star Olandria Carthen left fans in awe with her debut at the prestigious event.

*NOTE: From most of its history until 1995 (and again from 1996–2009), the Globes did not have a host in the modern sense; instead, a pair of emcees or presenters opened the show.

The reality star rocked an emerald green strapless mermaid-style gown with her hair in a tight updo.

Other celebs in attendance included Glen Powell, who wore a blue velvet suit and thick black-rimmed glasses, and Teyana Taylor, who showcased her curves in a black gown that exposed her bare backside.

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega also showed significant skin on the carpet, wearing a black dress with massive cut-outs around her midsection, flaunting her tiny waistline.

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood is set for a further spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery.

The New Zealand striker has been out since mid-October with a knee problem and is yet to feature under Sean Dyche since he replaced Ange Postecogolou as manager.

The 34-year-old excelled at the City Ground last term, scoring 20 times in 40 appearances as they qualified for Europe.

His playing time has been more limited this campaign, with Wood having managed two goals in nine appearances.

Wood did not specify the nature of his surgery, but he has been seen wearing a knee brace while watching recent Forest matches.

“The Christmas I didn’t expect, you can never know what football throws at you,” Wood wrote on Instagram.

“From the highs of last season to now the battles and the lows personally of this season. You have to be ready for anything.

“Truly gutting and frustrating that I’ll be on the sideline for another period of time. It’s what’s needed to come back stronger and better to help my team-mates do the job needed in the Premier League and in Europe.”

Wood’s last appearance came in Postecoglou’s final game in charge, the 3-0 defeat by Chelsea on 18 October.

Bolsonaro’s operation addressed a painful double hernia; doctors anticipate five to seven days of hospitalisation.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a prison sentence for an attempted coup, underwent a “successful” surgery for an inguinal hernia, his wife has said.

The 70-year-old former leader left prison on Wednesday for the first time since late November to undergo the procedure on Thursday at the DF Star Hospital in Brasilia.

“Successful surgery completed, without complications. Now we wait for him to wake up from anaesthesia,” his wife Michelle announced in an Instagram post.

Bolsonaro has been serving a 27-year term since November for an attempted coup. He was granted court permission to leave prison after federal police doctors confirmed that he needed the procedure.

Doctors say Bolsonaro’s double hernia causes him pain. The former leader, who was in power between 2019 and 2022, has gone through several other surgeries since he was stabbed in the abdomen during a campaign rally in 2018. He was also diagnosed with skin cancer recently.

Doctors for the far-right president from 2019 to 2022 anticipated that his hospitalisation would last between five and seven more days.

The surgery was to repair an inguinal hernia – a protrusion in the groin area due to a tear in the abdominal muscles.

“It is a complex surgery,” Dr Claudio Birolini said on Wednesday. “But it is a standardised … scheduled surgery, so we expect the procedure to be carried out without major complications.”

After the operation, doctors are to assess whether Bolsonaro can undergo an additional procedure: blockage of the phrenic nerve, which controls the diaphragm, for recurrent hiccups, Birolini said.

Brazil’s Supreme Court sentenced Bolsonaro to prison in September after he was found guilty of having led a scheme to prevent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office and to retain power.

Bolsonaro has maintained his innocence, declaring he was a victim of political persecution.

He has been confined to a small room with a minibar, air conditioning and a television at the federal police headquarters in Brasilia.

Succession

Early on Thursday, his eldest son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, told reporters before the surgery that his father had written a letter confirming he had appointed him as the Liberal Party’s presidential candidate in next year’s election. Flavio announced on December 5 that he would challenge Lula, who is seeking a fourth nonconsecutive term, as the party’s candidate.

The senator read the letter to journalists, and his office released a reproduction of it to the media.

“He represents the continuation of the path of prosperity that I began well before becoming president, as I believe we must restore the responsibility of leading Brazil with justice, resolve and loyalty to the aspirations of the Brazilian people,” Bolsonaro said in the handwritten letter, dated Thursday.

According to Flavio, the letter sought to clarify any “doubt” about his father’s support for his presidential bid.

“Many people say they had not heard it from his own mouth or had not seen a letter signed by him. I believe this clears up any shadow of doubt,” he said after reading the letter.

The former president and several of his allies were convicted by a panel of Supreme Court justices for attempting to overthrow Brazil’s democratic system following his 2022 election defeat.
