Britney Spears has revealed two very different looks in her new advertisement for the 2-in-1 fragrance named Fantasy Twist.

"Here's a few new behind the scenes photos from my Fantasy Twist shoot- hope u all like it xxoo," wrote the pop music icon and "X-Factor" judge.

Spears' photo shoot for the advertisements took place with photographer Ellen Von Unwerth and is seen with both jet black hair and her usual blonde locks. The top image reveals blonde Spears with an Egyptian-influenced headpiece and costume, while the lower darker image reveals the singer in black shiny clothing.

Thousands of the singer's fans have commented on the new photos via social media sites such as Facebook, with many praising Spears for her edgy looks.

"Cleopatra eat your heart out," wrote Nick. "Britney is in the house!"

Lourdes wrote, "Day wear and Night wear? Summer and Winter?"

"Super hot," wrote Twitter user Lien. "Love u as a blonde. Must try the next time I see it #FantasyTwist"

While Spears premiered the new images on Tuesday, Fantasy Twist is not the first fragrance created by the singer.

In 2004, Spears broke sales records for Elizabeth Arden after releasing her fragrance with them named Curious. By 2009, the singer had released seven more fragrances, becoming the best-selling celebrity fragrance line on the market.

Radiance was Spears' eighth fragrance and released in 2010, but because of a lawsuit, the perfume was renamed Cosmic Radiance. The scent sold over one billion bottles in less than five years and earned Spears an estimated $1.5 billion.

Alternately, Fantasy, Spears' second fragrance from 2005, was among 2012's three best-selling fragrances in the year's first quarter.

Spears will take part in the Grammy concert honoring Whitney Houston on Thursday, Oct. 16. The awards show will air on CBS.

"I am both honored and humbled to take part in the GRAMMY salute to Whitney Houston on Thursday," Spears posted on Twitter on Wednesday. "She'll always be 1 of my heroes."
