Carly Rae Jepsen feels ‘empowered’ by her mullet

Business in the front, empowerment in the back.

In a new interview with Allure, Carly Rae Jepsen explained why she just can’t quit the mullet, and why she suddenly decided to dye her hair platinum blond.

“You can’t go wrong,” the “Party For One” singer, 33, said of the controversial cut.

“If it’s short enough, you’ll wake up, throw some gel on the front and the rest looks like you made a decision, and that for me is really fun. And maybe it’s such a historically unattractive hairstyle to some that there’s a boldness in it that I quite love, because then you just dial it up with makeup and you feel — I don’t know, I just always felt really empowered when I had it. I don’t know if I want to be Goldilocks. I want my edge.”





When asked why she wanted to ditch her signature mahogany locks for a white-blond hue, the musician joked, “You know what, Cyndi Lauper, girls just wanna have fun.”

“I think I got a little hooked on the feeling of chameleon-ing yourself and what that does for your confidence, even your sense of identity,” Jepsen added. “It allows you the ability to kind of play and not have this expectation of what you’re supposed to be like. I was very much the girl next door — brown hair, kept the safety bangs, didn’t ever change a thing. The first time that I dabbled [in hair color], I felt like a new person.”
