Millionaire Alex Smurfit’s Playboy model ex Victoria Bonya has divided opinion with her dramatic switch from brown hair to platinum blonde.

The gorgeous Russian model shared the photo of her new look for her army of 6.4 million Instagram followers.

She said: “I decided to change my look and make my hair a little lighter.”

The first photo the full-lipped beauty posted was not well received by her fans and netizen ‘Anzaty111’ said: “You looked better when you were darker, being blonde doesn’t suit you at all.”

‘Victorialarianaa’ wrote: “This is not your colour. You don’t look very good.”

‘Sveta777zolotce’ commented: “Victoria, you are such a cool lady, but I have to say this is not your right colour.”

Shortly after posting the platinum blonde snaps, Bonya returned to social media with a slightly darker hair tone that was better received by her army of followers.

‘Marinalegion’ said: “Oh wow, you look dashing.”

‘Karina177327’ commented: “You are simply on fire. You look absolutely amazing.”

Last year, the Playboy model decided to move from Monaco to London to provide her daughter with a better education.

Bonya gave birth to her only child Angeline Laeticia when she was with Smurfit, son of Irish multi-millionaire Sir Michael Smurfit, from 2010 to 2017.

She decided to bring the seven-year-old to the UK because she is an avid horse rider and Monaco is not well set up for equestrian sports, according to Bonya.

The yummy mummy promised her daughter that she would take her back to Monaco every other weekend.

Bonya, who calls herself a “full-time mum”, told Central European News (CEN): “I try to spend all my time with her so she can get used to her new surroundings quickly and feel at ease here.”
