The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum's extra-dark hair will make your jaw drop.

When Eileen Davidson joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in Season 5, we were used to seeing the soap star with dirty blonde or platinum blonde hair. That's why we were frankly stunned when stumbling upon this old photo of Eileen, who looked barely recognizable with dark black hair. 

In the throwback snap — which is utterly glamorous, by the way — Eileen posed in '80s-era splendor, wearing an off-the-shoulder black look and teased-up tresses. The tresses in question were a deep brunette or black color, which was a marked departure from her lighter blonde mane. 

We also had to take note of Eileen's hairstyle in the snap, which was giving '80s goddess with a ponytail that had a voluminous pompadour in the front with tousled strands in the back. To top off the incredible look, and to give her hairstyle that extra pop, Eileen rocked diamond drop earrings with rubies on the ends and topped off her makeup with an electric red lip.

Eileen Davidson went brunette in 2020 

Eileen is known for her signature blonde hair, so fans were surprised when she debuted a brunette look in 2020.

Explaining the change during an appearance on RHOBH, Eileen said, “I’m starting a movie in two weeks. I’m doing a little independent movie, which is why I had to go brunette. It’s a really sweet Christmas movie, but it’s not a Hallmark movie.”

Though her natural hair color is blonde, as seen in throwback photos, the brown shade suited her beautifully. Regardless of the reason behind the switch, Eileen looked stunning as a brunette.

Eileen Davidson reveals her beauty secrets 

Vincent Van Patten's wife has long been open about her beauty routine, sharing both the luxury products she’s loved and the treatments she’s tried. In a throwback Bravo TV interview, she gave fans a peek inside her makeup bag, revealing some of her go-to items — including one she jokingly admitted she couldn’t throw away even if it was “rancid.”

More recently, in a 2023 interview with Woman’s World, Eileen revealed she’s shifted to a simpler, more affordable approach.

“I have gone the route of the super expensive before, but I guess I’ve just gotten kind of bitter,” she admitted. “I’m wondering if it really makes a huge difference.” These days, she swears by everyday staples like Cetaphil for her facial cleanser and Eucerin for body lotion. As for her hair? “I do use Aveda hair products,” she said, “but every once in a while, I throw in Pantene.”
