‘Looks So Much Like a White Woman’: Stacey Dash’s ‘New Face’ Has Fans Stunned By Her Unrecognizable Transformation
Stacey Dash is getting more side eyes when it comes to her looks.
The 58-year-old was one of the Black “it girls” of the ’90s and early 2000s and would book roles in movies and music videos solely based on her beauty. But as she’s gotten older — and aligned herself with right-wing politics — many people feel that her looks have been changing to the point where she is unrecognizable.
The “Clueless” star uploaded a video on Oct. 14 clapping back at people who type negative comments on her posts.
The video starts with the green-eyed Dash looking straight at the camera as she shows a blown-out feathered hairstyle while wearing a white halter top.
For much of the latter half of the audio, it’s hard to decipher what Dash is saying. Her voice was increasingly drowned out as the music started to get louder. At the end of her announcement, she simply laughed for several seconds and turned to her mirror to play with her hair before turning back to the camera.
Several people noted that Dash’s voice couldn’t be heard over the loud music, so there may have been some people who didn’t even receive her catty message. Others were less concerned with what she was saying and more concerned with her appearance and how different she looked.
When she was younger, the “Getting Played” star often alternated between box braids, her naturally curly hair, and a sleek pressed-out style, always paired with her signature caramel-bronzed complexion.
In her new video, however, while her skin remains smooth and clear, her cheeks appear noticeably shinier and fuller than before. Her feathered hairstyle also marks a change from her past looks, featuring fresh bangs and a rich dark brown tone instead of the blonde-highlighted styles she once favored.
Fans shared their shock about her transformed appearance on The Shade Room.
One person said, “She looks so much like a yt woman almost didn’t recognize her.”
A second wrote, “She got work done on her face ? Bc she definitely didn’t look like that before.”
A third said, “This is a filter right! I refuse to believe this is Stacy Dash’s real face.”
A fifth commented, “New face?”
Outside of the comments about her face looking different, there were several people claiming her skin was much lighter than it’s looked in the past.
This topic is something fans have mentioned in previous posts, and back in August she addressed it.
In a TikTok video, Dash was rubbing a flat silver Gua Sha stone over her face to show how it benefits the skin.
An observer asked her how her skin turned so light, making her look white, and then said that they thought her skin used to be darker.
She responded, “No I was never dark skinned. I’m Mexican and Black. I just used to live in the sun when I was younger. Thank you for being kind.”
The 15 second clip appears to be now deleted from Dash’s account.
The noticeable shift in her appearance has fans doing double takes, but it’s not just her looks that have sparked conversation. Some critics were quick to revisit her past controversies, including her public fallout with Fox and her vocal support for Donald Trump, moments that continue to divide audiences years later.
Still, despite the backlash, others applauded Dash for standing firm in her choices and never being afraid of conversation or controversy.
