“Never cared for her, this doesn’t even look like her,” wrote one user. Another commented, “Strange, didn’t recognize her.” A third asked, “What happened to her lips?” Some questioned the hair color itself. “This color blond doesn’t suit her or it’s the light of the camera [sic]!!!” observed one netizen.
