Bachelor runner-up Bella Varelis unveils her new look
Bella Varelis doesn’t look like this anymore. She has completely changed her look from the days she appeared on the reality TV show.
The Bachelor runner-up Bella Varelis has unveiled her new look, ditching her notable brunette locks for something a lot softer.
The 26-year-old took to her Instagram on Wednesday to debut her transformation, which shows her to look unrecognisable from her days on the reality TV show.
“Been contemplating growing out my natural and dark again, but we went lighter and I’m in love,” she captioned the video.
The NSW-based beauty, who is a digital marketer, tossed her freshly cut hair around in the clip as she beamed toward the camera.

She is often complemented on her lushes locks with some fans saying she “should be a hair model or do shampoo ads”.
Her new look comes just weeks after she decided to give herself a “social media detox” after being called out for using a Russian influencer’s photo.
She had reposted Moscow-based Ekaterina Mezenova’s romantic photo to her own Instagram Stories, without crediting her.

“Gave myself a small social media detox the last couple days and geez it gives you a lot of time to think,” she wrote in the December 31 post.
“I’ve never had a year that has been more of an emotional roller coaster than this year and scrolling through my camera roll today really put me through the motions.
“I’m so proud of the human I am becoming, a woman who is unapologetically herself and who will stand her ground when it comes to knowing what she’s worth.”

She went on to thank her followers for their “love and support”, adding that she wished there was a way to “give it back to every single one of you”.
In November last year, the 26-year-old also shared an emotional video about the online bullying she had received over her body.
“Your bottom half is so strange and you got no t*ts what are you so proud of,” the troll commented on of her photo’s.
She immediately called out the online abuse and body shaming and said the comment was why so many women and men struggle with body image
“It disgusts me that this person thinks it’s okay to even comment negatively on another human’s appearance,’ she wrote.
“Issues with body image can lead to eating disorders, depression and anxiety which is something I used to deal with personally and I do not take this lightly.
“Although I wish it didn’t affect me, I am still human. Check yourself.”
The Bondi influencer rose to fame on Locky Gilbert’s season of The Bachelor, where she placed runner-up behind Irena Srbinovska.
