Monique Alfradique is honest about her new look; see how it turned out

Actress Monique Alfradique, known for playing memorable characters in Brazilian television drama, surprised audiences by adopting a new look. With red hair for the first time, she prepared to play Tamires, a prominent role in the soap opera "Êta Mundo Melhor," which airs in the 6 p.m. time slot on Globo.

Previously associated with blonde hair, Monique explained that the transformation was a requirement for the character and a suggestion from director Amora Mautner and writer Walcyr Carrasco. The choice of the reddish hue was inspired by legendary Hollywood actress Rita Hayworth, a classic example of elegance and sensuality in the golden age of American cinema.

On her personal social media profile, Monique shared the news with her followers and received a flood of compliments. Users praised the actress's beauty with her new look and emphasized the impact of the change. "My God! You're even more beautiful," commented one follower. "You look amazing," wrote another.

Commenting on the transformation process, the actress revealed that her look was the result of extensive salon work and that the color brought not only aesthetic but also emotional impact. "The red color brought a different strength, a more intense energy, almost as if it awakened a bolder and more mysterious side," Monique said. She added: "I looked in the mirror and thought, 'Tamires has stories to tell.' And I'm ready to live them all."

Monique also confessed to being unsure about whether she'll keep her red hair after filming ends. "I haven't decided yet... I'm loving the results and the impact this color has had on me. But I feel like this shade belongs to Tamires; it's part of her identity, part of the story we're telling."

In Walcyr Carrasco and Mauro Wilson's new production, Tamires will play an intense, seductive, and mysterious character. For Monique, this complexity represents a new professional challenge. "She's a nuanced woman with a strong and intriguing personality. I'm very excited to explore this story and share this journey with the audience," she declared.

The soap opera, scheduled to premiere in June, continues the universe introduced in "Êta Mundo Bom." The artistic direction is by Amora Mautner, who returns to the 6 p.m. time slot after acclaimed work on other network productions.

In short, Monique Alfradique's visual transformation goes beyond aesthetics. It represents a new stage in her career and promises to further capture the attention of Brazilian television drama fans.
