We will never tire of magical pixie princess beauty, and boy, has Emily Ratajkowski delivered. The mega-babe just popped up on our Instagram feeds with the most delicious candy pink hair, and it's sugar and spice and all things nice, peaches and cream, all of it. But, as can only be expected from the star, still hot AF.

Created by one of the usual suspects when it comes to celeb hair magic, Dimitris Giannetos, we are honestly transfixed by the video of Em posing and pouting, wind machine in full action, gently tousling the long, layered pastel locks.

The dark root ties into Em's natural colouring, but honestly she needs little help pulling off this crayon hue. How does she do it?

After our brain had computed EmRata with pink hair, we clocked her eye makeup by Hung Vanngo and it discombobulated our brains all over again. Framed by her black brows and dark liner under the eye, the full rosy glitter look stretches corner to corner, and up almost to the brow bone. Zooming in, it shows off a lightly smoked out edge of soft orange, bordering the shimmering eye look, making it look like it's literally glowing. It's a sunset on her eyelids.

Those same orange and peach hues were continued across the cheek and lip for a warmth that's hard to rival; putting up a valiant resistance to the cooler tones of Barbiecore pink blush.

As tempted as we are to try pink hair ourselves... maybe let's start with wigs and blush?
