The Most Shocking Celebrity Wig Transformations
Didn't think wigs were powerful? Here are some of the most shocking celebrity wig transformations to show you just how powerful wigs can be.
Nene Leakes
Nene Leakes and blonde wigs go hand in hand. Over the years, Nene's surprised us with wildly different iterations of her otherwise characteristic blonde style. This is why we couldn't choose just one of her shocking transformations to mention here.
Kendall Jenner & Gigi Hadid
When the two models stepped out for the 2016 Balmain show wearing each other's usual hair colours, many were left reeling. While Kendall, usually known for the dark hair that was once a signature of the KarJenner Klan stepped out in a blonde wig, Gigi donned a dark brown unit. The move, orchestrated by Olivier Rousting and executed by Sam McKnight was actually a clever marketing tactic for Balmain's further expansion into the hair world through Balmain Hair Couture.

Fast forward to now and the look is still widely debated and remembered, most notably in meme form. Despite how questionable the look might have been at the time (and still is), the fact that it's still talked about today speaks of how iconic it was.

Katy Perry
While Katy Perry isn't new to wigs (you just have to look at her videography for the proof) when she traded in her blonde pixie for a shoulder grazing curled wig, we were all stunned. The look by celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton was so well-loved, it garnered 2.6 million likes on Instagram.

Chrissy Teigen
She really wasn't joking when she said the wig life chose her! After sporting a gorgeous purple unit back in January, Chrissy Teigen has again surprised us by deviating from her usual honeyed tresses in favour of a bright pink style perfect for spring.
