People's Artist of Ukraine Irina Bilyk presented her fans with an unexpected new look, which immediately caught the audience's attention. In the latest footage, the singer appeared with short curly hair in a platinum shade — a decision that noticeably differs from her usual hairstyles. Previously, Bilyk more often showed straight hair or light waves, so the change in length and color became a real surprise for fans. Details of the new look and the context in which it appeared are published by the outlet WAVE RBC.UA.
Details of the New Look
The impact of the new look was enhanced by thought-out wardrobe details: a leather vest, brown trousers, and large glasses with black frames. Together, these elements created a bold, slightly retro-futuristic image that contrasts with the singer's softer and more classic stylistic choices of the past. It was precisely the combination of platinum curls with the hard texture of leather and the massive frame that formed that very "unexpected," as fans note, image of the star.
Collaboration and the "Not You, But Me" Video
Bilyk's new image was shown within the framework of a creative collaboration with singer Anna Butkevych. Joint photos with director Alan Badoyev appeared on social media, with whom the artists worked on a new music video for the song "Not You, But Me." According to the project participants, the video unites three creative worlds — Butkevych, Bilyk, and Badoyev — and is a continuation of the "Not You, But Me" story about two women and one love, told in the format of an autumn novella. "Three different creative worlds met in one autumn novella — about choice, about love, about what remains with us even when it seems that everything is long behind us," the project description reads.
Audience Reaction and Comparisons
The image change was well received by fans: in the comments, fans actively discussed the new hairstyle and left compliments, noting that Bilyk looks fresh and stylish. It is worth noting separately that in a number of publications, the singer's new look began to be compared with the appearance of another famous artist — Alina Grosu, which further strengthened the media response to the publication. Thus, the short platinum haircut became not just a change of hairstyle, but part of a conscious creative move, coinciding with the release of a new music video.
