The 42-year-old pop superstar has sported fair locks throughout much of her career. 

She first went blonde as a teenager.

In 1999, Britney wore honeyed pigtails fashioned with pink hair ties as part of her schoolgirl ensemble for her ...Baby One More Time video. She was 17-years-old at the time.

Her hair was very light for her 2000 hit video Oops!...I Did It Again.

Throughout the early 2000s, Britney favored a bright blonde look but then infamously shaved her head in 2007 before opting for dark brown locks for a period of time.

On the cover of her 2007 album Blackout, she wore a jet black wig but quickly went back to her signature blonde for the Circus album two years later.

And in more recent years has colored her hair a variety of shades including red, pink and purple.

Though she has been blonde for most of her 25-year career, she only went platinum blonde last year. 'Honestly it was a huge difference!!! I became this cool character right when the camera came on!!!! Then I don't know what happened!!!'

The Toxic singer revealed in her 2023 autobiography The Woman In Me - which was released following the termination of a conservatorship that had given her immediate family control over her finances, career decisions and other aspects of her life - that her natural color is in fact black.

She wrote: 'I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb. 

'And I also know that I'm not blonde. My real hair color is black.'
