Some people seemed to like the new look, while others weren’t as complimentary.

Another countered, “Ellen!

Loving the hair!”

Other commenters seemed to think DeGeneres had done something to her face but that is simply speculation.

Was Ellen DeGeneres attempting to distract us with a new look?

But many weren’t falling for it, noting the pompadour hardly softens her appearance (viaMeaww).

Of course, others simply had a good time jokingabout DeGeneres' style switch-up.

Another person compared the look to that of rapper Eminem.

But don’t worry, Ellen.

But the beleaguered star is used to the reality that you might’t hey everyone.

“I learned that things happened here that never should have happened.

I am also a lot of other things.

Sometimes I get sad.

I get impatient and I am working on all of that.”

The star concluded her apology by saying, “I am a work in progress.”
