Many people don't realise that Moore's natural hair colour isn't the dark brown as we're used to seeing it. That made going fully blond for the first time in The Princess Diaries in 2004 pretty easy. Instead, the biggest adjustment for Moore was getting used to the hair extensions. "My hair was always a little bit on the shorter side so I remember being completely enthralled with them," said Moore. "It really made me feel all the blonder because I had more hair."
The hairstyle also made her feel like Britney Spears, Gwen Stefani, and Christina Aguilera rolled into one. "The late '90s, early 2000s, you couldn't be a pop star if you weren't blond — it was a prerequisite," she joked.

Fun hair extensions aside, if given the chance to swap places with any of her costars for a day, she'd pick Anne Hathaway, as Mia Thermopolis, for one very good reason: "What girl doesn't dream about becoming a princess, right? Complete with a tiara and the whole movie make-over magic — that's the dream to me. Sign me up immediately."
