In place of her curls, the model and knitwear designer debuted poker straight tresses.

In several social media posts, from inside her apartment, her hair was worn in a center parting and had been flat-ironed. Her followers approved of her locks and commented: "Straight hair ella is really aspirational to me," and, "Those eyes, your hair & an adorable dress, beautiful."

Ella has an edgy look

The daughter of second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, was thrust into the limelight in 2021 when her appearance at the Presidential inauguration in a Miu Miu coat went viral.

Ella hadn't planned to forge a career in the modeling world and later told The New York Times: "I was pretty surprised when everything with IMG was happening because when I was younger, I never saw that as being part of my timeline."

Ella's trademark curls have had a makeover

As someone who, like a lot of young girls out there, had self-confidence issues, it is intimidating and scary to go into this world that is hyper-focused on you and the body." 

But she hopes to be a "part of that change," and make a bold statement for herself and other young women.

Ella has multiple tattoos

Ella has at least 18 tattoos, including one of a cow on her left arm, a birthday cake and a flower pot, and a smiley face made up of eggs and bacon. 

Speaking to Garage in 2021, she revealed she began inking herself during the pandemic: "I did the classic: I did my dog's name, and I did a little flower. I recently did my first big boy: [a] salmon fish with a flower hanging out of its mouth."
