Kelly Ripa Just Posted Photos of Herself with Pink and Blue Hair on Instagram

Kelly Ripa (AKA the queen of Throwback Thursdays) is giving us some Harley Quinn costume inspiration just in time for Halloween.

Over the weekend, the Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host, 50, shared a series of old photos on her personal Instagram account. The slideshow features nine never-before-seen-pics of Ripa’s 2015 hairstyle, which fell just above her shoulders.

In the first two photos, Ripa is sporting her signature blonde hair color. If you keep scrolling to the right, you’ll see the talk show host has experimented with multiple bright shades, including pink and blue.

It’s important to point out that she didn’t rock the two colors at the same time. If she had, she probably would have given Harley Quinn a run for her money.

She captioned the post, “In 2015 I invested in 2 things, hair color & tank tops and @ryantrygstadhair aided & abetted.” Ripa is referring to celebrity hairstylist Ryan Trygstad, who has styled the likes of Naomi Watts, Julianne Moore, Jessica Chastain and Emma Roberts (to name a few).

Much to our delight, this isn’t the first time Ripa has shared old photos on Instagram during this time of social distancing. She’s posted everything from rare childhood pictures to family pics and even old snaps of her husband, Mark Consuelos.

Thank you, Ripa, for proving we’re not the only ones who have made questionable hair decisions.
