After months behind bars and a surprising new look, Julie Chrisley is back to rocking her trademark blonde hair.
The reality TV star, known for her vibrant platinum locks on Chrisley Knows Best, shocked fans when she first stepped out of prison with brown and gray hair.
But it seems Julie had a change of heart — and fans recently spotted her sporting a bright blonde style again while out shopping.
From Prison Struggles to New Hair Decisions
Julie’s initial choice to ditch her signature blonde for darker shades came shortly after she was released from prison in early June 2025.
Her son Chase had mentioned that she was hesitant to return to her usual color, sharing with Entertainment Tonight how she resisted going back to platinum blonde right away.
But as the days passed, Julie appears to have embraced her classic look once more.
Spotted at Target With Blonde Highlights and a Fresh Glow
Over the weekend, two fans caught Julie at a Target store, snapping selfies with her and sharing them on TikTok.
In those photos, her shoulder-length hair was a bright blonde with delicate highlights and a cool undertone — a clear nod to her old style.
Fans were quick to notice her glowing complexion, complimenting her light makeup and casual but chic outfit featuring a blue blouse and bell-bottom jeans.
Comments flooded in praising her youthful appearance and friendly demeanor, with one fan even saying, “Is it me or does she look younger?” and another calling her look “So 2025!”
The Chrisleys’ Rocky Road to Freedom and New Beginnings
Julie and her husband Todd Chrisley, 56, were both convicted in 2022 of fraud and tax evasion after prosecutors detailed years of financial misconduct, including fake loan applications and unpaid debts totaling millions.
They began serving their prison sentences in January 2023, with Julie originally set to be released in 2028.
However, last week, the couple received full pardons from former President Donald Trump, dramatically shortening their prison time.
Just days after her release from a federal medical center in Kentucky, Julie was spotted stepping out with a bright smile, signaling a new chapter after years of legal battles.
Behind the Scandal: The Financial Fallout and Court Battles
The Chrisleys’ legal troubles stemmed from their lavish spending on luxury cars, designer clothes, and expensive real estate while allegedly hiding income and failing to pay taxes.
Prosecutors said they used complicated schemes to avoid tax liabilities and presented false financial documents to secure loans.
Despite their defense’s claims of errors by IRS officials and insufficient evidence, a federal appeals court upheld their convictions last year.
But with the presidential pardon now in place, the family is ready to move forward.
What’s Next for the Chrisley Family and Their Fans
Following their release, the Chrisleys are set to star in a new Lifetime docuseries that will take fans through the ups and downs of their recent years — including the prison sentences and the family’s plans for the future.
For Julie, that future includes rediscovering her signature style, reconnecting with fans, and hopefully putting the past behind her.
As she flaunts her blonde hair once more, it’s clear that this reality star is ready for a fresh start.
