Watch: Lili Reinhart Shares Alopecia Diagnosis
No need the hypothesize about Lili Reinhart’s new ‘do.
The Riverdale alum showed off her newly-dyed brunette locks on social media as she prepares to film the upcoming adaptation of Ali Hazelwood‘s best-selling book The Love Hypothesis, changing it up from her signature blonde look.
Lili shared a photo of herself on Instagram July 17 holding up the book with her brown hair pulled back into a bun. In the selfie, the 28-year-old wears a lab coat in what appears to be a school lab, which tracks with her character Olive Smith being a biology PhD candidate.
She further showed off her hair transformation over on TikTok, where she took part in the current trend set to PinkPantheress‘ “Illegal,” shaking hands with costar Tom Bateman while wearing jeans and a button-down shirt over a tank top, with her new brunette ‘do still pulled back into a bun.
“third year phd student looking for a fake relationship,” she wrote over herself in the video before writing “hotshot professor who agrees to fake relationship” over Tom, reflecting the story’s plot.
Lili captioned the video, “hello Dr. Adam Carlsen,” the name of her costar’s character.
While Tom will play her love interest in the upcoming project, the Chemical Hearts actress has been leaning on boyfriend Jack Martin for real life hurdles, like being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, a condition that can cause pain in the bladder and pelvis, per the Mayo Clinic.
“Never in my life could I have gotten through this without my partner,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories in January. “It’s not easy to have a chronically ill girlfriend—when I spent months barely leaving the house, couldn’t walk due to pain, and felt incredibly depressed due to the shift in my quality of life.”
Lili added at the time, “Jack’s love and support has never waivered for a second during a time when my body was truly falling apart.”

A few months earlier, Jack has also helped to through some of her mental health struggles, like by holding her hand through a particularly difficult October 2024 public appearance.
“That’s the ironic thing that people don’t see,” she told Self in an interview published in January. “I’m literally in Washington, D.C., at the White House giving a speech on mental health. And then that same night, I am sobbing, in so much discomfort, and feel so defeated.”
What also helps her is knowing that her visibility could help other women going through similar situations feel seen.
“No one ever knows what that is when I talk about it,” Lili explained. “But my urogyno is telling me so many women have this, and that’s why I think it’s as important as it is to just be like, ‘Hey, I’m dealing with it too.’”
