Julie Chrisley is making some changes after regaining her freedom.
One day after her release from prison, the Chrisley Knows Best star stepped out in Nashville, Tenn., sporting a drastically different look from before she began serving her sentence in 2023.
During a trip to a local butcher shop May 29, the matriarch's signature blonde locks were long gone as she debuted a shoulder-length brunette hairstyle with gray roots, as seen in a photo obtained by Fox News Digital. She donned a beige top as she smiled on her way out of the store.
Julie, 52, as well as her husband , 56, were granted a full pardon by President May 27 after serving over two years in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion. She was subsequently released from a federal prison in Lexington, Ky., May 28, while Todd was released from custody in Pensacola, Fla., the same day.

Prior to the pardon being issued, the couple—who wed in 1996—were set to remain behind bars for several years. Julie was scheduled for release in January 2028, while Todd's incarceration was due to continue through April 2032.
In the wake of Trump's clemency, Todd and Julie's children have expressed their gratitude for the move, with their daughter remarking that her parents 'get to start their lives over.'
'I still don't believe it's real,' the 27-year-old said in an Instagram video May 27. 'I'm freaking out.'
Her brother Chase Chrisley, 28, later shared that he was 'grateful to God and extremely grateful to President Trump' for the pardon.
'I'm beyond thankful to finally have my parents back home,' he said in a statement to E! News, 'and my family together again!'
Meanwhile, Todd's estranged kids Lindsie Chrisley and Kyle Chrisley, whom he shares with ex-wife Teresa Terry, have also reacted to the development. While Lindsie, 35, shared a brief, uplifting social media message, Kyle, 33, described feeling 'ecstatic' about his dad's release and was hopeful for a fresh start.
'I know they can't wait to get home and just be with family,' he exclusively told E! News, 'and I'm going to remain hopeful that another reconciliation is possible.'
