However, Tammy is unsure if the new look suits her, and has begged her fans for help.
'What do we think? Do I have eyebrow blindness?' she asked in the caption of her post.

As she posed in side-profile and front-on, the designer seemed concerned by what she saw.
Tammy had also posed the question to her fans the day before, also on Instagram Stories, and has evidently remained worried by her updated brows.
The fitness influencer is taking part in a viral trend online where content creators question if they have 'eyebrow blindness'.
The term rose to popularity on TikTok in recent months.
Over the past decades, there have been tons of eyebrow trends that have taken the beauty world by storm.
From skinny 'sperm' brows in the early 2000s, to the 2016 'block brows' inspired by Kylie Jenner, to the spiky soap brows of today - we've seen it all.
Not to mention all of the viral products that were piled on, too, like the Anastasia Brow Dip and Wunderbrow gel.
But when you look back on your previous eyebrow styles from years past, you may be thinking, 'What the heck was I doing?'
'What do we think? Do I have eyebrow blindness?' she asked in the caption of her post
That is where eyebrow blindness comes in.
Medical aesthetician Cassandra Bankson explained the term to USA Today, defining it as 'being blind to something that is trendy [but] not necessarily good for long term health or beauty.'
Comedian Taylor Tomlinson also spoke about the phenomenon during a recent episode of her show, After Midnight, on CBS.
She joked that it was an 'all-too common medical issue' where you're unable to tell that your eyebrows 'look insane.'
The viral term has taken over the app, with tons of users posting some truly hilarious and shocking videos of what their eyebrows used to look like.
And, it seems like there were various degrees of 'brow blindness' that people had, too, from super thin to super thick to barely there at all.

Nepo babies used to get on our nerves – now they've got the upper hand
This week, Brooklyn Beckham shocked his followers when he shared a video of himself rustling up a tomato pasta dish using seawater. In the clip posted to his Instagram, the would-be chef leans off the back of a luxury yacht and dips a silver saucepan into the sea, before bringing the briny to boil and plopping in some spaghetti. 'That's disgusting,' one person commented. Others said: 'Nothing like cooking in sewage water …' and – possibly most devastating of all – 'Go get a real job PLEASE!!!!!!' Beckham, 26, has long faced criticism from nepo baby haters for using his privileged position as the eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham to his advantage in his various 'careers'. His amateurish seawater pasta is but his latest clueless foray into the world of work. He irritated established fashion photographers when, aged 16, he was hired by Burberry to shoot its latest fragrance campaign. In a juvenile collection of his photographs, published by Penguin Random House, his shot of a dimly lit elephant was accompanied by a caption: 'Elephants in Kenya. so hard to photograph but incredible to see.' In 2022, his career relaunch as an chef-influencer, with his straight-to-Instagram show Cookin' with Brooklyn, reputedly required a team of 62 professionals, including culinary producers, cameramen and several producers – and cost a staggering £74,000 an episode to make. Nothing like starting at the bottom and working your way up, is there? When Oasis return to Wembley Stadium this weekend, for the first time since 2009, as part of the brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher's reunion tour, they will be supported by Richard Ashcroft of The Verve. But eyes have no doubt rolled at Liam's daughter Molly and Ashcroft's son Sonny gracing the front of the new issue of Tatler, as cover stars for their latest Cool Britannia issue for the same reason: they are only famous because of their parents. In the cover photo, Molly, 27, a model, is standing on an elaborate gilded French stool in a blue leather mini-coat, with musician Sonny, 25, who is hoping to release music soon – wearing a tie against the backdrop of a huge Union flag. The trouble with nepo babies – a phrase coined in 2022 that shortens 'nepotism', and which Gwyneth Paltrow dismissed as an "ugly moniker" with which to beat the children of famous people – is that they are successful only because their famous parent(s) helped them get their foot in the door. Those that are talented struggle to escape the pervasive feeling that their connections and money have given them a headstart that other equally talented people won't get. The resentment is that it's grossly unfair as the rest of us have to claw our way to the top. We can't just walk into a movie role, or capitalise on being the next generation leading the Britpop revival. To win favour, nepo babies shouldn't deny or hide their privilege like Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis's daughter Lily-Rose Depp, 26, did when she once claimed in Elle magazine that 'nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part'. This week, Isadora Bjarkardottir Barney, 22-year-old daughter of Icelandic singer Björk, claimed that being a nepo baby 'doesn't help you much', after landing her first leading role in a feature film, The Mountain. Hailey Bieber tried to embrace the term by wearing a 'Nepo Baby' crop top in 2023, to acknowledge her Baldwin family dynasty links, but was then criticised online for 'not being enough' of a nepo baby. Stranger Things actor Maya Hawke – daughter of Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman – tried a different tack, admitting what a privileged position she is in, compared with the rest of us. Since the whole debate erupted with New York Magazine's 2022 cover The Year of the Nepo Baby, things have changed. I say it's about time we stopped hating on nepo babies. Today's nepos – nepo 2.0, the next generation – are fully aware of their ridiculousness, and they're now actually playing up to it. Because they can't help who their famous parents are – and what else are they supposed to do? That's why Beckham now courts criticism and finger-pointing laughs by cooking seawater pasta, and why the Oasis nepo babies are happy to push their status as cultural icons for a new generation. The difference is the new breed of nepo babies aren't struggling with the nepo label. They are just happy to weaponise it and get up in our faces. Blue Ivy Carter, 13, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, has been dubbed a positive example of nepotism in the music industry for her stage presence and talent after she brazenly adopted the role of chief backing dancer for her mum's Cowboy Carter tour – often stealing the limelight. Kai Gerber, 23, looks the spitting image of her supermodel mum Cindy Crawford – for a reason. She's continuing Crawford's legacy in the fashion industry. Nepo babies offer the rest of us light relief in dark times. Getting ahead because of mum and/or dad isn't going away – so we might as well enjoy it.

Music festival fans fume as event with The Killers and Weezer due to perform is cancelled
Music lovers have been left disappointed after a huge festival was cancelled with a brief message on the organisers website letting fans know just weeks before they were due to attend A major music festival has been cancelled with attendees being informed by a message on its website. SoundSide Music Festival was due to take place between September 27 and 28 at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Confirmed acts at the event included headliners The Killers, Weezer, Hozier and Vampire Weekend. However, the two-day musical gathering has now been axed entirely with no reason given to fans. A message on the website states, 'Due to circumstances beyond our control, Soundside Music Festival has been cancelled. Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank's processing time.' Other expected acts on the line-up at the festival included Djo, Japanese Breakfast, the Backseat Lovers, Remi Wolf, Alex Warren and the Last Dinner Party. Disappointed ticket holders were just weeks away from attending and have not had any further information provided to them. Fans took to X to complain as one angry fan typed: "wdym soundside music festival was canceled…" Another added: "so soundside music fest was cancelled and their insta page has been deleted… what the f**k actually". And a third said: "soundside got cancelled and i was supposed to see djo at it im devastated and it was my home show the festival is so close to my house". The news comes just one year on from fans being left upset when the Foo Fighters cancelled their planned performance at the festival in 2024. The band gave just a few days notice for the cancellation after it was revealed that frontman Dave Grohl had become a dad again - but had welcomed the new baby outside of his marriage. The new arrivals caused quite a scandal leading to the band sharing a short message with fans on Instagram to confirm their change of plans around the news. The statement said, "FOO FIGHTERS WILL NO LONGER BE APPEARING AT THIS WEEKEND'S SOUNDSIDE MUSIC FESTIVAL. PLEASE CHECK THE FESTIVAL WEBSITE FOR MORE INFORMATION (sic)". While the Foo Fighters didn't specify the actual reason behind the cancellation of their planned appearance at the festival, the timing was indicative of the rocker's personal issues causing a clash in their schedule. The announcement was made just weeks after Dave confirmed that he had fathered the child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum. Dave, 56, vowed at the time that he would "regain" the trust of his family after sharing the shock news with the world via his social media. Dave - who has been married to Jordyn since 2003 - wrote on Instagram at the time, "I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. "I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together."

Lioness star Lucy Bronze's mysterious 'split' from teammate before baby bombshell
The self-styled 'bossy mum' of the Lionesses squad, Lucy Bronze, has opened up about the one wish she has for her future. It comes as she has been romantically linked with some very famous players Lioness legend Lucy Bronze keeps her life away from the pitch largely under wraps, but she has been linked to some very famous sportswomen in her love life. The footaller, known as one of the best in the world, was once reportedly dating her teammate Keira Walsh but she's since found a new flame, according to reports. Despite their romance seemingly fizzling out, Lucy and Keira appear to remain amicable and are both part of the Lioness squad. It comes as Lucy dropped a major bombshell about her huge wish for the future. Lucy, 33, is known as one of the world's top female footballers - boasting over 120 international appearances and a collection of silverware, including five Champions League crowns. She transferred to Chelsea in 2024 following her time at Barcelona, and her adaptability as a right-back or wing-back continues to prove invaluable for both club and nation. Away from the football field, she was rumoured to be in a relationship with England's vice-captain and Chelsea player Keira Walsh, 28. In the summer of 2022, Bronze and Walsh both made the switch from Man City to Barcelona and competed in the World Cup as part of the Lionesses squad the following year. The pair kept their rumoured romance relatively low-key and never publicly confirmed their relationship, but shared several cosy photos together on social media over the years. Some of which included sun-soaked getaways together, including a break to Lyon, France, in 2019 and a trip to LA in May 2022, where they struck a pose on the beach. They've even spent time together with both their families, as a sweet Instagram snap showed Lucy and Keira beaming alongside their loved ones. While they never confirmed their relationship together or a split, things seemed to suddenly come to an end. Lucy is now said to be romantically linked with Spanish footballer Ona Batlle, 26. While neither of the pair has gone official, they have shared a series of sweet snaps together. One saw them on holiday together last month before the Euros kicked off in Switzerland. In the post, Lucy wrote: "Few days of sun," while Ona commented with a heart-eyed emoji. They even took a trip to Disneyland Paris together in December last year. Meanwhile, Lucy recently opened up about her future and about starting a family of her own one day. In an interview with Women's Health, she shared: "I could get a corporate job. I could try to be part of the Federation or Fifa. I could help someone like Chelsea develop the women's team." The player added: "I wouldn't say there's something I'm dying to do, apart from have a family. My brother's got two kids and that's what I'm most jealous of, seeing my niece and nephew. But there's plenty of time for that – and what that looks like, I don't know." While Lucy and Ona are major rivals during the Euros, with England and Spain competing against each other in the final on Sunday, 27 July, it doesn't seem to impact their relationship off the pitch. After Spain took victory against England during the 2023 World Cup, Ona was spotted comforting Lucy on the sidelines.
