The new hairstyle comes a month after Jessie Wallace confirmed her engagement to partner Justin Gallwey, sharing the news with an Instagram post that read: “My fiancé and moi”.
The actress had previously sparked engagement rumors in September when she referred to Gallwey as her “hubby” in a post.
Earlier this month it was reported that Jessie has already begun planning for the lavish day as she prepares to say “I Do”.

Jessie will reportedly welcome a slew of her past and present co-stars to the big day, including former on-screen husband Shane Ritchie.
Her character Kat has walked down the aisle with Alfie Moon (Shane) twice before on the show, making it a fitting full-circle moment that he will be there for the real-life nuptials.
With reports that the wedding will take place early next year, co-stars such as Natalie Cassidy are also said to be on the guestlist.
According to The Sun, a source said: “Jessie is over-the-moon about her engagement and is starting to put plans in place for her wedding.
“At the moment it is looking like early next year in the UK and there could be a possible magazine deal in the works.”
Adding that everyone is ‘incredibly happy’ for Jessie, the source continued: “Naturally she will have some of her EastEnders co-stars there, Shane of course”.
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 7.30pm
