Sentirse bien

I was watching a Spanish movie the other day in which one of the protagonists dyed her hair blonde. Her friend said (or at least I think he said) "te sientes muy bien una rubia" Do you think I heard this correctly?
Is this a way of saying "you look good as a blonde"?

sosia has a spectacular aura aboutsosia has a spectacular aura about
I need a verb ""te sientes muy bien XXXX una rubia"
I suppose it was
"Te sienta muy bien ser una rubia" like "Te sienta muy bien ese vestido" (you look good in that dress"
with "sentir" should be something like
"Te sientes bien siendo una rubia" ¿Do you feel good being a blonde?
Saludos

Ok. So, that means I heard wrong. Sentarse is the verb. There is an English near equivalent in case you didn't know: sits well.
It usually refers to an idea rather that something physical like a hair style.
Thanks Sosia.
