The Olympic champion showcased his new look in a video on Plastique’s YouTube channel, complete with long blonde curls and striking make-up. His reaction was one of surprise and delight as he experienced the transformation.
The makeover included a humorous moment when Daley FaceTimed his husband, Dustin Lance-Black, to reveal his new appearance. “Oh my God, I’m straight now,” Daley joked during the call, adding, “I mean you are f**k beautiful, I don’t understand what’s happening to me.”
Daley, 32, expressed his fun spirit, suggesting he might “pick up the kids from school like this.” Later, he shared photos of his new look on Instagram, reflecting on how he was still getting accustomed to the change.

The couple have shared their journey since marrying in 2017, describing their relationship as love at first sight when they met at a mutual friend’s dinner.
Daley remains a significant figure in British sports, not just for his achievements but also for his ability to connect with audiences in innovative ways, reminding fans of the multidimensional lives that athletes lead beyond their competitive careers.
