Now, she’s been noticed — and seems on video — sporting brown hair as she acclimates to her new, Trump-free residence.
In a UK Pub, Ellen DeGeneres is rocking brown hair
Ellen spent an evening out with buddies at The Farmer’s Dog, a UK pub with an especially UK pub title.
The institution itself shared a video to Instagram on November 13, highlighting Ellen and Portia’s go to. They weren’t the one well-known faces there — as Natalie Imbruglia was additionally one of many patrons listening to stay music on the bar.

Only hindsight will inform us if Ellen and Portia’s transfer was the appropriate one for them.

That might make Ellen, and her spouse, targets.
