Terri Irwin showed fans a new side to herself in the recent issue of Stellar Magazine when she posed for a glamorous photoshoot, but there is one detail in the images many can't help but comment on.
While the Australia Zoo matriarch, 60, traded her signature khakis for a very chic beige ensemble in the spread, there was no chance she was going to give up her iconic hairstyle, which she has kept for decades.
However, some critics and followers alike have spoken out against Terri's blunt '80s fringe, saying it is long past time for a change to her aesthetic.
'The bangs need to go,' one person wrote.
'Her hair colour is too dark. It ages her... and she looks stunning,' said another about the photoshoot.
'That fringe needs to be retired ASAP,' commented a third, as someone responded: 'Yes, it's outdated and doesn't flatter her at all.'
Terri has rocked the same hair style for at least 35 years, and was even seen sporting it the day she met her late husband Steve Irwin at Australia Zoo in 1991.
Alongside her glamorous photoshoot, Terri revealed in a wide-ranging interview that she is still single - and happy to be following the death of her love.
Terri confirmed she has never seen the need to date another man after tragically losing her husband Steve.
'I'm sure there are a lot of lovely people out there in the world, but I did find my happily-ever-after, and I think I still have a lot of love in my life,' she said.
'So I'm lonely for Steve, but I'm not lonely. I never mourn being on my own and not being in a relationship. I think we need to say that.
'I think women are still amazing, fulfilled, incredible people - even if you never marry, if you have four kids, or two kids, or no kids. There are no rules.'
Terri previously insisted she has no plans to get back into the dating market.
'I totally got my happily ever after,' the American-Australian conservationist told Us Weekly before attending the Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas.

She said no man could measure up to the late Crocodile Hunter, who died in Queensland at the age of 44 after a stingray lodged its barb in his chest while he was filming a documentary.
'While there are a lot of wonderful men in the world, can you see another Steve Irwin? I just can't,' Terri said.
'I'd be like, "I love that you're a librarian and the Dewey Decimal System is cool, but I got to go jump a crocodile and do that." Forget that,' she added.
Terri was married to zookeeper Steve for 14 years before his tragic death in September 2006 and they share two kids, daughter Bindi, 26, and son Robert, 21.
Steve was killed when he was barbed by a stingray on September 4, 2006, at Batt Reef near Port Douglas in far north Queensland.
