Lexie changed her hair color and somehow unlocked a whole new level of main character energy.

I’m with you on this one, blonde Lexie had a confidence and glow that made her stand out way more.

u/MysticAfterDark 9h ago

Lexie Grey finally unlocked her Meredith-era confidence

u/Lost_Boat8275 Little Grey 14h ago

She’s gorgeous, I loved Lexie. I know many people say the show went downhill after Cristina and Derek left, but for me (unpopular opinion) it started declining after Lexie’s death.

18

u/kmm198700 13h ago

I agree

u/Brightenix 13h ago

Yeah at that point noone was safe. Almost all the core characters had been killed or nearly dead and it all just became sort of silly.

7

u/burajira 12h ago

Now they go very strongly the other way, and don't want to kill anyone off, which again, IMO, can get a little monotonous..

2

u/Brightenix 11h ago

I'll take your word for it haha

u/starcolour1990 11h ago

I concur. It was so depressing to see her leaving us forever.

8

u/_CottonLilac 12h ago

I’ll always have a soft spot for Lexie too, she brought a different energy to the show that was hard to replace.

2

u/SugarVenusVibe 8h ago

Lexie was amazing and yeah, her death really changed the show’s vibe after that.

1

u/willteachforlaughs 8h ago

Agreed. I'm just finished a rewatch of season 10, and OMG Cristina and Owen's relationship back and forth is absolutely mind numbingly awful. They have so many "we want different things and shouldn't be together" realizations only to be right back in each other's beds. And not in a way that's a fun character flaw story. It's still a good show, just not as solid as before. Cristina's exit though is perfection.

2

u/outride2000 3h ago

And then Owen and Teddy. How many seasons? Geez.

2

u/southdakotagirl 6h ago

Completely agree. I wanted to see her more as a main character instead of Meredith.

1

u/Cruella_Davila 3h ago

Hard agree

u/SufficientBox3389 13h ago

i think brunette lexie gives cute pretty girl next door and her blonde is smoking hot

3

u/JustAnother_Brit ❤️ MerDer ❤️ 12h ago

This is the perfect description

2

u/Reina753 8h ago

Specifically the bangs era

u/gotem245 13h ago edited 13h ago

I’m questioning if I understand what the word “unpopular” means with some of these posts

u/SadisticDance 14h ago

As a life long Power Rangers fan she really reminded me of her brother with the blonde lol

2

u/JesseJ67 10h ago

Wait, who’s her brother?

3

u/SadisticDance 8h ago

Christopher Khayman Lee, he played Andros.

1

u/JesseJ67 8h ago

Ahhhh, thank you! I didn’t know.

7

u/DealerCamel 12h ago

Friendly reminder that Chyler Leigh is a natural blonde in real life. Not that blonde- more of a dirty blonde- but still.

5

u/JesseJ67 10h ago

I loved this look on her tbh. She was gorgeous no matter what, but I really dug this one.

4

u/imzadi09 11h ago

Chyler is blond again now since they’re wrapped up w The Way Home.

5

u/MeteorRogueMode 10h ago

Not unpopular at all. Blonde Lexie had the whole hospital forgetting their medical emergencies.

6

u/No-Sheepherder3442 8h ago

I think this every time I’m watching and the blonde hair makes an appearance. I love it on her.

16

u/unoptimisticoptimist 13h ago

I didn’t love the blonde hair on Lexie at all.

3

u/Unlucky-Today-7531 13h ago

what a baddie

4

u/WDTHTDWA-BITCH 13h ago

She’s an absolute bombshell, but she doesn’t feel like Lexie to me as a blonde.

8

u/guitar0707 14h ago

I didn’t like the vibe. George and Izzie had just left, so the dynamic was already off. Then, Lexie started sleeping with Izzie’s husband. She started buddying up to Meredith and Cristina. Suddenly, she popped up looking like an Izzie clone. Lexie didn’t even feel like Lexie anymore. It felt like someone single white female-ing Izzie.

6

u/audioxxxxxxx ✨ MAGIC ✨ 14h ago

yeah true, like when Alex was shot he thought Lexie was Izzie

4

u/guitar0707 13h ago edited 13h ago

Lexie’s character had always felt like they were going for girl-next-door more than bombshell. So, it seemed like they were awkwardly trying to replace Izzie- slotting Lexie into her friendships, her husband’s bed, her whole look and energy- with a character that had already been established as someone different than Izzie.

3

u/Educational_Film_744 9h ago

I prefer the brunette. She can’t pull off a blonde.

4

u/pastmybedtime__ 8h ago

Blonde hair does not suit her at all. It washes off her face and fractions, charm gone. You know what i mean?

2

u/PinkVoltageGirl 9h ago

Blonde Lexie was elite.

4

u/Platmond 3h ago

Dude Lexie IN GENERAL

2

u/Technical-Earth-3254 Jo Reminding Us She Lived In A Car 14h ago

How is this unpopular?

10

u/audioxxxxxxx ✨ MAGIC ✨ 14h ago

Lexie looks gorgeous in all hair colours but most people ik prefer brunette Lexie

3

u/Beginning_Dot735 12h ago

The blonde always looked so luscious and full of volume, I like the darker hair too but whoever was doing her blonde hair was on point.

2

u/AbyssWankerArtorias The Chief banged my mom 13h ago

Any version of Lexie > basically anyone else.

1

u/kmm198700 13h ago

I like her better as a blonde

1

u/P1nkZebra3431 12h ago

I preferred brunette

1

u/Sunset_Dreams7 Little Grey 11h ago

For pics 1 and 4, can someone tell me if there is eyeliner on her waterline/lower lid, or if it's just eyeshadow?

1

u/audioxxxxxxx ✨ MAGIC ✨ 10h ago

I think its eyeliner

1

u/Sunset_Dreams7 Little Grey 9h ago

I wish I could make my eyeliner look like that

1

u/audioxxxxxxx ✨ MAGIC ✨ 9h ago

I know right!! Half the time mine is so wonky

1

u/Bubble-Master96 8h ago

Yes I’m rewatching and got to blonde Lexie and at first it’s jarring but her hair looks so healthy and long and it’s styled so well that I love it

1

u/ChipmunkReal187 8h ago

I liked her as a blond but I disliked the extensions in her hair. It looked extremely unnatural.

1

u/Petraretrograde 8h ago

She looks a weebit Sookie Stackhouse when she's blonde.

1

u/Mom_Ov_2 8h ago

She looks like a totally different person on the “The Way Home” show. My daughter pointed it out because I didn’t even realize it was her!

1

u/Kitkatsbreakingup McSteamy 🔥 8h ago

Thank you! It suited her so well

u/kamikazekarela 5h ago

This was such a gut punch bc im rewatching and just reached the plane crash episodes 🥹
