Ellie Goulding could go for a more masculine look after experimenting in a new video.

The 34-year-old singer adopted a different look for the music video for 'New Love', her new collaboration with Diplo and Silk City, and she admits it "sparked something" in her.
In an interview with Gaydio, due out later this week, according to The Sun newspaper: "People know me, and have described me in the past, as being feminine and I have long, blonde hair and I like to dress up and wear dresses and be glamorous. But I think really the true me is ... it must have sparked something in me, I really enjoyed it. And that is more naturally who I am. Maybe it will change my whole thing."
Meanwhile, Ellie previously admitted she became a "robot" during her toughest weeks in the music industry when she struggled with her fame in 2016 and 2017.
She said: "I'd just become a robot that was able to walk on stage and perform energetically and wildly. But actually I was just exhausted, and I don't remember any of it. I wasn't really able to enjoy anything properly ... I needed to at least have a trigger to remember all the places I've been to. There was a real temporary-ness to my life. It was all about survival. I didn't get to understand who I was at the time."
And Ellie is incredibly shy and says it is a "common misconception" that she is full of confidence.
She said: "I think a common misconception with me, and maybe with other performers, too, is that we’re confident and that we're super 'out there'. But it is terrifying for me to go into a group of people and I think that’s always been the case. When I look back at even being at school and college I am just a shy person. I don’t have a huge amount of confidence. It is funny seeing myself on stage - when I have to watch myself back - you know, how I sort of take on this confident role as a performer. But as soon as I’m off stage, that’s gone again. I didn’t attend a single afterparty on my tour."
