PHOTO: DAYS star makes dramatic change in appearance

Days of our Lives' Lisa Rinna (ex-Billie Reed) is almost unrecognizable with her brand new hairstyle. Why does it matter, you might ask? Well, it's the first time she's changed her look in over 20 years.

Former Days of our Lives star Lisa Rinna (ex-Billie Reed) debuted a sexy new hairdo this past week that has both soap fans and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans buzzing.

For the very first time in two decades, the actress decided to switch up her short locks with a new style and a dramatic change to her color.

"I wanted to try something new, and you know, I've had the same hairdo," Rinna told RHOBV host Andy Cohen, acknowledging her darker, slicked-back style. "For 20 years I've had the same hairdo and I thought, 'Why not?'"

And surprisingly, the actress even did the color job herself! "I darkened it a little bit. I went to the drugstore... and I got this fanciful I don't know what it is. ... It'll wash out," she continued. "Because my highlights were all crazy all over the place and I thought, I'll just darken it a little bit.' I had a vision. It was sort of, like, for the Met Ball, the 'Manus Machina' look for the Met Ball."

But don't expect Rinna to rock the new look for long: she admits she'll most likely go back to the style she has sported since the 90s. "I like my hairdo," she says. "I really do."

Rinna isn't the first DAYS star to switch things up in dramatic fashion. Earlier this year Shawn Christian (ex-Daniel Jonas) transformed himself for a film. To check out those photos, click here.
