Idina Menzel Wants You to Know She’s Not Actually Elsa in Real Life

Idina Menzel may have recently dyed her hair blond, but don't compare her to her Frozen character, Elsa.

Though it's a little too late for us — yes, we fully admit that we called the Broadway star's new look her "official transformation into Queen Elsa" — Idina wants to encourage people not to immediately draw those comparisons, tempting as it is.

"They say I did it because I was inspired by my Elsa character [from Frozen], which I found very insulting," the actress told Good Day L.A. “That I would wake up one day and want to be blond, so I could look like an animated character… I just never, ever do anything with my hair and I finished my Broadway show. Eight shows a week, same thing."

To be fair, Idina Menzel's new shade is much more of a warm, honey blond than her cartoon counterpart's, which is a perfectly fitting icy platinum. And we have to say we are loving the lighter color on the naturally brunette powerhouse vocalist — it's a stunning, summery shade that gives her a gorgeous glow.

And Idina Menzel wasn't done joking about the Elsa comparisons: When they played her a clip of "Let It Go," she couldn't, well, let it go.

"There I am! I look exactly like her. Oh Elsa, thank you so much," Idina deadpanned. "We’re exactly the same, aren’t we? Those skinny balletic arms and that tiny waist."
