Miley Cyrus' Sister Noah Nearly Unrecognizable After Bold Hair Transformation in New Pics

Fans of Noah Cyrus likely did a double take as new photos of the singer began circulating online on Friday, Sept. 6.

The younger sister of former Disney Channel star Miley Cyrus was out and about in New York City on Thursday, Sept. 5, when photographers spotted her crossing a street. She stared the camera down as she walked while wearing a strapless form-fitting brown dress and black sandal heels.

But it wasn’t her floor-length dress that stole the spotlight—it was Noah’s hair, which was starkly different from the nearly black shade fans have grown used to seeing. Instead, Noah was nearly unrecognizable as she wore a head of blond curls that ended just above her shoulders, giving her a classic Hollywood look.

In some photos, Noah touched the ends of her hair, as if still getting used to the style. It was unclear if the look was meant to be a permanent change or if she chose to sport a blond wig just for the evening.

Noah also shared photos of herself embracing her blond ’do on Instagram Stories on Friday. In one snapshot, she posed with her hand in her hair as she angled her gaze away from the camera. Another photo showed her standing in a spotlight onstage as two guitarists sat on either side of her. She sang into a microphone, her new blond look glowing in the stage lights above and behind her.

The neighborhood watering hole that Noah performed at, which she identified as So & So’s Piano Bar in Hell’s Kitchen, also shared footage of the singer on Instagram Stories . With a voice reminiscent of her two-time Grammy Award winning sister, Noah performed her song “July” and made small talk with her audience.

At 24, Noah is the youngest daughter of Tish Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus . In addition to Miley, Noah and their son, Braison , the divorced couple also share a daughter, Brandi , and sons, Christopher and Trace , from previous relationships.
