“I’m like, yeah, imagine just putting it on and just not caring,” she told GQ in January. “Then you can pull it off! But that’s just what I do. I’ll put it on, and even if I’m looking at something like, ‘Oh, that’s ugly.’ I’ll be like, ‘All right, let’s put it on, see what happens.’ And then that ends up being the moment that people are like, ‘That was fire.” And that’s dope.’
“I am just a loud, obnoxious person, and that just goes straight to fashion,” she quipped. “So I think it’s just my personality translating through what I wear.”
Social Media Reactions
Social media feeds were instantly flooded with images and videos of Rodman’s new hairstyle after she graced the FIFA World Cup field. The platinum blonde bob sparked an outpouring of positive reactions, with fans raving about the fresh, chic look that fit the summer tournament perfectly.
“I guess we need some color somewhere and pink’s been the color — pink, purple, whatever,” Rodman told reporters at the time. “So yeah, I guess we’ve got to continue that moving forward.”
