Bronwyn Newport, a standout member of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, captivated attention with a bold new look at an Oscars event on March 3. The reality TV star shared her glamorous transformation on Instagram, revealing a strikingly longer hairstyle just in time for the star-studded celebrations.
Newport attended the 33rd annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, where she debuted her fresh, dark brunette tresses flowing past her shoulders. In a post accompanying her stunning look, she shared her excitement: “Oscar night! What a dream to be invited by the [Elf Cosmetics] team to the event!” She continued by expressing her delight about the evening, including highlights like the dinner, after-party, and a performance by Chappell Roan with Elton John.
For her dramatic hair change, Newport credited hairstylist Bradley Leake, who styled her hair using mousse to prep damp strands and velcro rollers for volume. Leake also revealed that the added length was achieved with Covet & Mane hair extensions, helping to elevate Newport’s dramatic transformation.
The fashion-forward star paired her new hairstyle with a vintage Roberto Cavalli dress, completing her Oscar night look with style and elegance.
While fans of RHOSLC are familiar with Newport’s previous shorter hairstyles, the Utah native has experimented with long hair in the past. Notably, she showcased a longer look at New York Fashion Week in 2019, where she paired her voluminous tresses with a pearl-embellished headband, a light blue mini dress, and a black leather jacket. A few months ago, Newport shared a similar look, revealing her lengthy hair through a series of photos on social media.
However, her most recent hair journey has seen a mix of styles. In July 2023, Newport shocked her followers with a dramatic cut, unveiling a chic bob while vacationing in Poland. This bold change was a far cry from her usual long locks, which she had worn almost all her life.
At the RHOSLC Season 5 reunion just weeks ago, Newport sported a shorter, sleek bob, styled by Jacob Rozenberg. The look was a departure from her longer styles, which she discussed with reunion host Andy Cohen. “I cut my hair, and I thought that was a big deal,” Newport said. “My hair’s always been almost waist length my whole life, until last year when I cut it all off.”
Newport’s versatility with her hair continues to inspire fans, from her short and edgy bob to her glamorous long locks, making it clear that she’s not afraid to reinvent her look.
