Following a rough few weeks in the spotlight, Britney Spears is making changes.
Less than three months after her DUI arrest, the singer reinvented her look, debuting a new hairstyle in what pals have called a 'full circle' moment.
Spears, 44, was apprehended by California Highway Patrol officers in March after 'driving erratically at a high rate of speed', and showed signs of 'impairment', for which she 'submitted to a series of field sobriety tests'.
A spokesperson for the mother-of-two shared in a statement at the time: "This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully, this can be the first step in a long-overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life."

And apparently, after checking herself into rehab, she decided to change up her hairstyle.
A startling new look for Spears was shared online by celebrity stylist Chris Appleton.
Taking to Instagram on Monday (1 June), the haircare professional - known for being the much-loved stylist of the Kardashians - shared a sweet tribute to one of his favourite musicians.
Appleton shared a selfie alongside the 'Gimme More' hit-maker, who stood behind him, holding a collection of hair heating tools in her hands.
Spears was seen donning sleek, pin-straight hair, parted down the middle. It also appeared as though she'd transitioned back to her signature golden-blonde shade, reminiscent of her first days on the music scene.
"As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments," Appleton, 42, wrote in the caption.
"Never in a million years did I think I'd one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair."
He continued: "Some moments really do come full circle. She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I've ever met."
In the background of the sweet honorary post, Appleton used Spears' hit single 'Baby, One More Time'.
Spears was sentenced to 12 months' probation and one day in jail, credited as time served, and made to pay a $571 fine at a hearing last month following her arrest, which she did not attend.
The musician was also instructed to attend a three-month DUI programme, see a psychologist once a week, and a psychiatrist twice a month.
Her lawyer, Michael Goldstein, said in a statement, following the sentencing: "Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct.
"She has taken significant steps to implement positive change, which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI.
"Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received."
