Kylie
New year, new Kylie!
Kylie burst onto our screens with vibrant green hair and has since rocked wavy blonde locks.
Yep, here's what she looked like before coming on The Block.
In January 2025, the Queensland hairdresser and business owner decided it was time for a change – and unveiled stunning pink hair in her first post of the year...
Kylie
"OK, it has only taken me a week to get over the fact it is 2025 😶🌫️," she captioned the look on Instagram.
"Happy New Year!! Bigger and better things in store for me 🤓."
Friends and fans couldn't get enough of Kylie's new look and shade.
"OBSESSED with the pink hair 😍🔥🔥," one fan commented.
"I'm living for the pink 👏," said another.
Co-star Paige Beechey wrote, "Cheers to that 🥂💛."
While Kylie replied: "🥂 My beautiful girl! 2025 catch ups 😘."
Adrian Portelli
The Block's billionaire bidder Adrian Portelli brought in the new year with a shock new look – but not everyone was a fan, he happily admitted.
Debuting his drastic transformation, Adrian said goodbye to his dark locks and beard and welcomed a shaved head and eyebrows.
"Mercy's first reaction to skin head daddy!" wrote Adrian alongside a photo of his son crying.

"He wasn't a fan but he eventually warmed up 😂," Adrian added with a photo of his tot smiling.
"HAHAHHA poor mercy!! 😂," commented Block 2024 winner Charlotte.
"How was the wife's reaction 😂," said one fan, while other added: "I even got a fright when I saw your skinhead. 🤣 I can only imagine your wife's reaction let alone Mercy's."

Adrian Portelli
After another mammoth year of The Block, Adrian bid on and bought all five houses.
In January 2025, he shaved his head and eyebrows live on stage at a car festival in Canberra.
"I'm digging the new look," said Adrian.
He then shared a photo of himself posing next to a Lamborghini and a private jet, and some fans couldn't help but leave a cheeky comment...

"What in the Uncle Fester has gone on here 😂," joked one fan referencing the bald Addams Family character in a comment that's amassed close to 400 likes.
"Took the words outta my mouth," said another, while a third wrote: "It's the no eyebrows for me! 🤣."
At least his son has warmed up to the new cut!
Kylie, Brad, Ricky and Haydn
The Block may be over for 2024 but the bond between House 3's Ricky and Haydn and House 4's Kylie and Brad is not!
Kylie took to social media to pen a message to her former neighbours and goof friends.
"Miss my boys," Kylie wrote alongside this photo from Melbourne Cup Day on Instagram.
"Plus my girls," she continued, tagging Haydn's wife Chelsea and Ricky's partner Erin.
Despite her and Brad living in Cairns while the boys live in Melbourne, Kylie teased a reunion coming up soon:
"See you at Christmas 🎄 🖤🙈," she concluded.
It's set to be a Merry Christmas indeed and not just thanks to a possible Block reunion.
Kylie and Brad walked away from Auction Day with $650,000 and Ricky and Haydn took home $750,00 – that will definitely help around the holiday season.
Ricky
House 3's Ricky left the series with not only a life-changing amount of money ($750,000 to be exact, to split with Haydn), but also "the love of his life".
Shortly after Auction, Ricky shared an update with fans on Instagram, debuting his new relationship with make-up artist Erin.
"Four months in, we're pretty madly in love and have big plans for heaps of adventures," he told 9Entertainment.
"Everyone comes out a winner, but I get to come out with potentially the love of my life."
Some of those plans include his best pal and former Blockhead Haydn...
Ricky
The two will be launching their own website, where they'll be selling quirky hats, sunnies and everything in-between - just like they wore throughout the season.
"Snap back to reality 🤩," wrote Ricky as he was on a FaceTime with Haydn.
"Reminiscing on @theblock and what an opportunity it was for us and how crazy 2024 has been 🤯🙏," he continued.
"Working hard with our day jobs and pushing for those next opportunities to capture the moment and kick start the next projects we have planned 🛠️🧱."
