RHONJ's Teresa Giudice Debuts Lighter Blonde Hair at Thanksgiving

Teresa Giudice is ready to test out the theory that "blondes have more fun" after debuting lighter hair on Thanksgiving.

"Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!" the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 53, said in an Instagram Story video on Thursday, November 27, showing off her blonder locks.

Giudice's light blonde hair appeared to be freshly cut as she wore it down, straight with a middle part for the holiday.

The reality star wore black pants, a white fuzzy short-sleeved sweater and cheetah-printed boots as she showed off her family's Thanksgiving spread.

Giudice, who had all four of her daughters home for the day, gave her followers a look at their two turkeys, ham, green beans, sweet potatoes and more delicious foods before posing for family photos.

"Blessed and forever grateful🫶🏼," her eldest daughter, Gia Giudice, captioned a series of snaps from the celebration.

In one group shot, Teresa posed with Gia, 24, and her and ex-husband Joe Giudice's three other girls, Gabriella, 21, Milania, 19, and Audriana, 19, in front of her spiral staircase with a chandelier hanging in the background.

Teresa and her daughters also posed for a picture with her husband, Louis "Louie" Ruelas, and Gia's boyfriend, Christian Carmichael, who were on hand for the turkey-filled festivities.

Teresa's lighter ‘do stood out in each and every picture, especially beside her three youngest children, who all have darker brunette hair.

The Housewife's new look comes a few weeks after she attended BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas rocking a honey blonde shade.

As many RHONJ fans know, Teresa is a natural brunette, but has switched up her hair color over the years to go lighter from time to time.

While Thanksgiving appeared to be an intimate family affair for Teresa, she is back on good terms with her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law Melissa Gorga as of BravoCon weekend after years of family turmoil.

Teresa surprised fans over the three-day event when she praised "beautiful" Melissa, 46, during a panel when asked who slays the Real Housewives reunion looks. The women nearly broke the internet when they posed for a picture together on November 14.

Teresa was also spotted hugging her brother, 51, that same day, which went viral among Bravo faithfuls.

"I saw my husband's relief, and for me, that's the most important thing. It's the siblings, and it's the kids, and this trickles down," Melissa exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, confirming that the two families had called a truce. "To see the relief in Joe's eyes and in his face, to me, I'm like, ‘I'm game. Let's go. Let's do this.'"

Melissa noted that the group "can't really hash it out too deep," because their feud goes back too far, so instead, they've agreed to say, "Listen, we've all made some mistakes here, and it's time to move forward."

"We are trying to move forward and learn about life a little bit," Melissa added. "This is just going on for too long. Obviously, there's been some talks and some time for everyone to think about what we're really doing. It's time for it to end."

Gia, who publicly feuded with her uncle and aunt amid her mom's strained relationship with the pair, also told Us at BravoCon that things had turned a corner.

"I think it's a relationship that we're both excited to rebuild and work on," the Special Forces: World's Toughest Test season 4 winner said on November 14.

Andy Cohen also weighed in on the family's reconciliation, noting it was part of the reason for RHONJ's current hiatus.

"I told both of them … that's one of the reasons we didn't pick cameras up," Andy, 57, explained to Us on November 14. "They have to do this for themselves. It should have nothing to do with us."
