I’ve always thought that there are just some women who should never go blonde. I am one of them. My coloring just would never work with any kind of blonde shade. I don’t even think I could pull off a light to medium brown. So, is Jessica Seinfeld one of the women who should never go blonde? We got a chance to see a real-life demonstration.
After cutting her hair into a very short, spiky pixie, Jessica then bleached the crap out of her pixie and posted the results on her Instagram. She gave a shout-out to the woman who did it (Sarah Spratt), writing: “Oh, it went down today. @spratula aka Sarah Spratt taught me you can never be too old or too brunette to be blonde.” Er… okay. I’m not questioning her RIGHT to go blonde if she wants to, just as long as no one questions my right to say NO, this does not look good. While I still don’t “get” why Jessica is a “thing,” I have to say… she was so much prettier as a brunette. And she was cuter when she had a bob too.
Maybe this makes me an old fart, but just because blonde/radically colored pixie cuts are the “trend” these days, doesn’t mean that every single woman needs to try it. Be self-aware enough to really look at your face and determine whether style/cut/color will look good on YOU, regardless of whether it’s “on trend.”

YEESH!
She went full on Sue Sylvester, leaving no room for doubt.
Jerry’s litle man, ha ha ha.
Ouch. (I lol’d, though)
I kind of like it. I think the length would look a lot better if she left it dark.
Yeah, I like the cut but not the color, not at all.
Im always here for a kicky cut….and technically I like this.. But that color is not a good thing, not on her all i see is drawn face and nose..it ages her by a LOT
Who is this Jessica person? jerry’s wife? She does not look good blonde.
Yes, she’s Jerry Seinfelds’s wife
Jessica Seinfeld because…..?
ROTFLMAO
Everybody knows she cooks pasta amazingly. The End.
Well I can boil pasta out of a box too!
Exactly, this woman is a complete fame whore, and supposedly, not a very nice one either.
She looks like my Aunt Ruth from Mamaroneck, NY. Oy, suburban mom hair! Euchhhh!
+1 yow
Total +1
Yep. I tried a pixie many years back and just looked terrible, incredibly butch and not even a tiny bit cute. Jessica’s is awful. Not really a pixie because it’s too long on top–that’s what makes it look so suburban mom.
Exactly. Suburban mom hair. Yuck.
Hello 80s short haircut. Didn’t miss ya.
Is she going through some type of mid life crisis? In the last pic she’s flashing full on bra and cleavage! I as well don’t get why she’s a thing.
Yolie, I was just about to post the same thing! I’m getting second hand embarrassment looking at that last photo. It just screams ‘Look at me! See my boobs? And my dramatic hair cut? I’m still sexy!’ And that really isn’t sexy at all, in reality.
In that open shirt photo, she looks a diner waitress from Paramus, NJ serving one of the housewives, chewing gum, while saying “You want more cawfee, Hon?”.
comment of the week, right here!!
Go Home everybody, Kiddo, wins
*dramatic opera applause*
LOL Kiddo!
That aged her a good 10yrs.
It really did.
Yep, agree she looks much older with this cut
Totally agree it ages her. The dark softened her. She met Jerry while on her honeymoon to another guy, right? That is the only reason she sticks in my mind.
Not just a guy. He is a scion from the Broadway Nederlanders. Yeah she married into a famous family, comes back from her honeymoon, meets Jerry at a gym and they bump uglies. End of story. Don’t know why I remember this!
I also remember how Jerry and her were nasty to this other lady who wrote a book BEFORE she wrote hers about hiding good food in kids’ junk food. Because of how those 2 acted, I no longer respect Jerry and I can’t stand her.
What Holly said. Those are the two things I recall about her as well. Not a fan of either as a result.
What Holly and Christin said. Loathe her and her spouse for how they responded to the woman whose cookbook preceded Jessica’s. Immature, tactless and unconscionable.
I think you have to have a certain face to carry off this look. Very youthful and feminine and a round or heart shaped face. Ginnifer Goodwin is a good example of it working. Jessica has too much of a long face and more masculine features, this cut doesn’t soften anything.
Yep, she doesn’t have the face for this. I saw that 1st pic & thought, um, er….that’s a handsome woman. LOL!
Yeah-it’s not the right look for her. I think she’s attractive-she looked good with her hair longer and darker-but not too many people can pull off a blonde pixie. Also, what’s with pic with the unbuttoned top? Seems kind of random.
The cut is okay, but the color is just “off “. Definitely….unflattering.
That is not a good look. I know now days you can’t say anything negative about a person’s look or behavior without be some kind of troll or shamer. Since I don’t care please with all of the Seinfeld money go get some of that nose shaved off. Ya I said it I am nose-shaming someone.
Kcarp, no shaming here. The cut and color make her nose look huge. When she had longer, darker hair, it wasn’t noticeable.
She and her husband married their opposite gender equivalents. If she got it shaved he wouldn’t like it as he would no longer see himself in her face….
You do know there is an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry breaks up with his gf cause she is too much like him and he decided he didn’t like her.
Blonde does not suit her. At all. That particular cut is also unflattering. Perhaps its the floppiness that puts me off of it.
1. That is a terrible selfie. Stop with “that look”.
2. The pixie looks cute on her, but not the blond color. Go back to dark.
3. See #2. Seriously, you’ve got Seinfeld money. You can afford a good hair stylist.
I cannot stand this woman. She’s a plagiarizing famewhore.
Ha, ditto.
I never understood her appeal. She dumped her husband several weeks after their wedding–For Jerry. Jessica is more annoying than Goop. At least Goop earns her cash–Jessica is a homely gold digger.
Yeah, she definitely upped her golddigging game with the second one, but her first husband had some pretty serious money too.
I looked up her ex, Eric Nelander and he is not a great person either. He has had multiple domestic violence charges by two different women. Never liked Jessica but maybe she really did need a way out of that marriage.
She is BFFs with Goop. Explains everything.
I know, that whole thing really bothered me, especially when Jerry said horrible things about the woman (who I do think his wife plagiarized from) on Letterman. It was such a gross “oh you, we have so much money, just run along” attitude.
And to stay on topic, I don’t care for the cut or color on her, it’s not flattering.
She’s always struck me as a pretty crappy person and this is a pretty crappy look on her. Fitting, I guess!
Thank you for this comment. that whole thing got swept under the rug so quickly.
and Lauren’s point about her first “marriage” (shorter than KK’s to that bball player?…) is well made too. the ink on her marriage license was hardly dry before she dumped her first husband for “someone better”. like she had JUST gotten back from her honeymoon when she met Seinfeld, I think.
and lucy2, I totally agree. his attitude in the Letterman interview was SO snotty and dismissive of what was a legitimate accusation. but I had heard he was kind of a d*ck in real life, so…
I think it’s even worse. I heard the she met Jerry ON her honeymoon and promptly dumped her husband. What a winner.
She and Jerry deserve each other though – neither seem very nice.
OOPs 2x post. Sorry
@inthekitchen:
She met him in the gym in NYC when she returned from her Honeymoon. She divorced her husband soon thereafter.
One or the other would be fine–short OR blonde, but not short AND blonde.
NO
Well put, lol.
It emphasizes her nose.
THIS.
Not liking the hair cut, or the last picture in which her button up shirt is unbuttoned enough that her bra is spilling out of it, not very classy for a mother of three!
She looks better with darker hair and the short hair makes her look older imo. Blonde washes her out.
This girl has obviously been taking notes from Elsa Pataky and Miley Cyrus (who copied Elsa).
I think Elsa copied Miley….
She doesn’t have the face for it. You kinda have to have big features in order for it to look good. Like, big eyes, a big smile. Think Winona Ryder. Jessica Seinfeld doesn’t have this. She has small eyes and a big nose. And that’s fine..but those features work a lot better with long hair, as Sarah Jessica Parker demonstrates.
Yup, at this age, you really need to know what works for you. Blonde pixies are aging. And harsh. Especially when there’s a razor involved. She should’ve at least stayed brunette.
Yup.
Everything about her irks me… how Seinfeld didn’t see the red flag of her is amazing.
I didn’t think it was possible for her to look bitchier or meaner, but here we are…
Yikes. Not a good look for her.
Just because you have money, your husband is famous and you have great stylist ,doesn’t mean you get the best advice .
Wow that pic of her in the red shirt…
I don’t think she looks bad necessarily, but she sure does look different.
The whole effect is cheap. Like she went to “seniors bargain day” at a beauty school. A bad haircut is a bad haircut. Jerry did a whole episode about a bad haircut.
Her hairdresser has crappy hair! If I went to a salon and my hairdresser had such a crappy hairdo, there is no way she was going to be cutting my hair period. AS we can all now see, Jessica’s hair is just godawful and doesn’t fit her face at all. (The hairdresser even looks embarrassed at what a crappy job she did.)
Her face is too long and not pretty enough to pull this look off.
Awful. Color and cut, both.
I dont mind the blonde. But I don’t think she pulls off having hair that short.
Nope, nope, nope, nope. *octopus fleeing across ocean floor*
Her hair was gorgeous. Shiny, healthy. The first short cut she got was very flattering. This unfortunately draws attention to her nose. It makes it look bigger, and her face looks harsh and washed out. I hope she lets that mess grow out.
Dreadful! Get a refund guuurrll!!
You need a beautiful or feminine or youthful face to pull this off. Jessica Seinwho’s face is none of those things.
Robin Wright is the only one I’ve seen who can pull this ‘do off.
Not so! Pamela Anderson and Charlize Theron have also been rocking it and looking amazing.
Oy vey.
Its been my experience that a female makes a drastic hair change when she’s going through an emotional crisis.
I’m with ya. What do you think it is. Mine is good old fashion adultery. Jerry gets older but his ladies ages stay the same.
Totally. Shoshana Loenstein(sp) was like 19 when she dated Jerry and lets not forgot Jessica left her first husband for Jerry. Poor dear needs some attention.
@Racer
Actually Shoshanna was still in high school when she and Jerry started dating! I lost any respect I might have had for him after that.
Perhaps she’s going to the gym again (reference to how she met current husband).
She’s trying something different, what’s wrong with that? Women are always trying to be gorgeous and are so afraid of taking risks with their style, trying new stuff.
I admire Jessica’s pizzaz!
As long as you don’t admire that color or cut….
LMFAO
She looks like a man in the first picture. I wish she would embrace her dark locks. I hate the bleached blonde pixie look. I wonder why she did it. Does that mean Jerry and her are dunzo? I also wonder why she is a “thing.”
So what, if she’s not classically beautiful she has to just stick to one thing and never try and do anything fun and different? Not everyone is born looking like Charlize Theron. Women are so harsh on each other.
Seinfeld is putting herself out there and making money off her “persona” (surely her recipes are not selling themselves). Holly hobby is entitled to state her opinion.
Yes, because the only reason why people wouldn’t like Jessica Seinfeld is because women are mean to other women. It couldn’t at all be anything she’s done herself, like plagiarism. Or assuming that her husband’s money made her plagiarism okay.
This chick has a face made for radio
hahahaha
I love her video blogs with Ally Wentworth teaching easy recipes for the cooking challenged like me. Ally is what I used to be, in the kitchen, intimidated, but better now. And I like Jessica’s recipes on the video blogs. Nothing fancy, just family meals.
But her hair looks awful.
Not a good look. Pixie cuts are adorable, but scant few women can pull them off and still look feminine and beautiful. Michelle Wlliams comes to mind. Most end up looking like boys. Ginnifer Goodwin and her stick-out ears come to mind.
I hate to judge people by how they look, buuutttt here I go. She looks like one of the mean moms at my kids’ school. Entitled, spoiled, sad and miserable. They like to spread it around. I like to stay away from them. They suck the air out of the room. Sorry. Maybe that haircut is interpreted differently in different parts of the county. It says, “stay away” to me.
“Like”
Its like a personality change came with the cut and color for half price.
unfortunately, i think it ages her.
That snoz is damn near saluting at you huh?
I smell desperation.
Holy tralier trash wave bangs from the late 80’s early 90’s Batman!
Seriously.
Home girl has no idea how to style and rock a pixie. There’s an art to it. Especially if you have naturally thick ass wavy hair. It’s called a flat iron. Other wise you look like this. Friends don’t let friends go out in public like this let alone post them on instagram. Guess she’s not paying the women in these pictures enough for [or not enough?] for honesty.
LOL Girl….she looked a mess in private. The stylist is literally RIGHT THERE and it looks a hot mess!! How does your finished look resemble a Sun-In commercial? I can’t with her right now…
The stylist looks a hot mess too.
that’s a dumb looking birthday cake
The cut is pure 1980’s mom hair. The bangs are just unbelievable. Maybe if the bangs were short it would be….oh nevermind I can’t find anything positive. ATROCIOUS.
It’s really not easy to be the wife of a famous person and not be famous too, so I’ve always admired Jessica’s spunk. Her hairstyles, even if they’re not the look, are always changing and I give her credit for having the guts to at least try. She’s not boring! She seems to have a strong personality and a good sense of humor, and I disagree with a lot of the remarks above, I think she’s really attractive, even with a hairstyle that’s “meh” (although in this case, I don’t dislike the blonde pixie, I just think the photos were unstyled and crappy).
To each, his own, as they say.
I wonder if her ex-husband saw these pics and chuckled.
She looks a HOT mess. It’s clear to me that someone is having a mid-life crisis…..or coming out of the closet. That last pic with the Suze Orman power cut is too much! Poor thing thinks she looks good, too. Smh
He looks great! Lol.
Her face is way too masculine to pull this off.
Let’s face it: she’s really easy to hate. They didn’t handle the PR side of things when they first started dating, and I think it was her naivete + Seinfeld’s arrogance. (Oh, and why do you need to spend a gazillion million on a city-centre custom-built garage for your 54 porches or whatever it is?) She also gave Oprah 25 pairs of designer shoes and Oprah showed it on her show, which embarrassed the h3ll out of them (“vulgar”, “tasteless”). She’s very good friends with Goop and Beyonce, who could be described as two of the most elitist people ever. However, her hair cut isn’t really that bad and she’s really quite pretty and not that masculine at all. It’s just that she’s easy to hate and she doesn’t seem to do anything really useful. And her husband is annoying.
I was getting a brain cramp trying to figure out why and how they could built so many porches in the city and in a garage of all places. Then I realized it was a typo for Porsche. Face palm on my own ‘duh’. You should have seen the visual in my head, it was so bizarre.
could have built.
No. Just, no.
I had to look at her Instagram page (because I hate myself today) and there is a cute shot of her from March 9. The hair looks cute there.
she’s a dawg straight up. She should shave her ass and walk backwards…she’d look better.
It’s nice she wanted to try something new and fresh and offbeat, but she doesn’t look good. She looks mannish, older and gaunt.
Perhaps Jerry should worry if Jessica starts going to the gym more often, drastic hair changes in women usually means they are in a life changing mood, how long have they been married?? Is it 10 years yet, where she gets half his money if she divorces him?
