You Won't Recognize Yellowstone's Jennifer Landon With Long Blond Hair
On "Yellowstone," Jennifer Landon plays Teeter, a ranch hand whose rebellious streak is perhaps best symbolized by her short, pink hair. In real life, though, as well as past roles, Landon has rocked a much different beauty style. Compared to her high-profile "Yellowstone" look, she's nearly unrecognizable in a snap from the set of the 2002 film "LA D.J." Sitting alongside cast mates Stacy Bellew, Tim Scarne, and Thomas Ian Nicholas, Landon has a feathered, side-part style with bangs — the kind of layered haircut that adds volume and dimensions.

It's a dramatically different vibe from Landon's current charm, what she referred to as her "puckish feral essence" in a 2020 Instagram post that featured her signature Teeter hair, which looks like a relaxed version of the Italian bob style that dominated hair trends. Still, while her beauty might look casual, it's the result of dedicated healthy eating and hydration. "I gotta say, I'm HEALTHY," she told Naluda Magazine in 2017. "Not because I want to be, but because my body won't let me get away with ANYTHING."
When she joined Yellowstone, Jennifer Landon was not a horse person
In addition to looking different without her character's pink hair, Jennifer Landon has a different real life voice than Teeter. But that isn't all that separates the actress from the cowgirl she plays on screen. One of the most notable and surprising contrasts is that Landon was terrified of horses when she joined the "Yellowstone" cast. As a child, she watched her mother experience a horseback riding accident. "She really shouldn't have survived that accident and I was still quite young and just stopped riding," Landon told Cowgirl Magazine.
But, despite her differences from her onscreen counterpart, real life has come to imitate fiction. Landon credits "Yellowstone" with helping her face her fear and rediscover her love for riding. She was even a celebrity guest at the 2020 Careity Celebrity Cutting event in North Texas. Cutting is a classic rodeo sport where a rider isolates a single cow out of a herd, and requires significant riding skill. To prepare for the event, Landon trained with rodeo pro Lindy Burch, who dyed her own hair pink in solidarity. "I'm a little wild and she's a little wild, so I thought if she's going to wear pink hair, then I want to wear pink hair," Burch told Quarter Horse News.
