Grande hit the Music Choice offices in NYC — two days after wowing audiences with her killer vocals and comedic timing on Saturday Night Live — modeling all-over dark brown tresses. She wore the richer locks in a half-up double French-braid that veered away from the typical height and volume of her go-to updo.

After Monday, though, it was back to her blonde tips and power pony, just like she’d looked on her SNL debut, for a taping of The Elvis Duran show in NYC.

Hosting SNL was emotional for the former Nickelodeon star, who thanked the cast and crew after the show. “last night was an absolute dream come true. forever grateful @nbcsnl,” she tweeted.
