‘DWTS’ Fans Love the New Look on Sharna Burgess

Sharna Burgess is known to be a bit of a chameleon when it comes to taking risks and changing up her look, making her new golden blonde color a subdued surprise.

“Thank you @kennedy_vandyke and @americanrebel26 for using your sorcery to somehow get this girl from bright red to this with keep all my hairs on my head and healthy as ever. I love and appreciate you both,” she posted, adding, “Still a red head, I’m just… in my soft girl era.”

Sharna Burgess Hopes to Return to the Ballroom Soon

In an interview with Parade from May 2025, Burgess said that she was hopeful for a Season 34 return to “Dancing With the Stars.”

“I would love to be in some capacity. I would really, really enjoy that,” she says. “I judge Dancing with the Stars in Australia. I really love that role, too. If they’re doing guest spots for it, that would be phenomenal. I’d love to jump in. I really want to always continue my relationship with the show. I adore them. They are my family, as you can see. So whether it’s me sitting in the audience or in some other way, I will for sure be there.”

As for whether she’d rather be behind the judges’ table than on the stage, Burgess couldn’t decide.

“It’s like picking a favorite child,” she explains. “They’re completely different experiences, but I truly am in love with the judging experience, and I love what I can bring to the table as having the experience on the other side, so who knows. But as I said, they are my family, and I’ll be involved in some way.”

Burgess first made her debut as a pro during Season 16 in 2013, and last competed on the show during Season 30 with fiancé Brian Austin Green.
