‘You can literally pull off every color,’ someone else gushed.

‘Oh gurl I love a blonde. And this is eating,’ another added.

‘Season ten Maddie walking in like she’s about to solve three cases and emotionally wreck us in one episode,’ someone else quipped.

Hewitt credited her new look to Nine Zero One salon hairstylists Nikki Lee and Taryn Houston.

The actress joined the series – created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear – in season two.

The hit show explores the lives of Los Angeles first responders – including firefighters, police officers and paramedics – as they risk it all to save lives.

It also stars Angela Bassett, Oliver Stark, Ryan Guzman, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, Corinne Massiah and more.

Season ten is set to premiere in the fall.
