Ella Bright unveiled a new dark chocolate brown hair color on the carpet at the 2026 MTV VMAs, a shift from the light brown with a hint of red she wore as Hannah "Wellsy" Wells in the Prime series Off Campus earlier this year. She paired the fall-appropriate shade with a silk corset dress and a six-string pearl choker. Bright was not alone in the trend: Hailey Bieber and Dakota Johnson have also recently dyed their hair dark chocolate. The VMAs also offered a preview of the series' future, with Bright set to reunite with her on-screen romantic interest, Belmont Cameli, to present an award while viewers await season two of Off Campus.
