Just when we thought we had seen the last of Dua Lipa's hair transformations, she's only gone and debuted a shocking blonde bob look. It seems as though the singer is back in her 2018 'Electricity' era...
The first trailer for Matthew Vaughn's upcoming film Argylle, starring Henry Cavill, John Cena, Bryce Dallas Howard, Samuel L Jackson, Bryan Cranston and Dua herself debuted earlier today and to say it had us hooked would be an understatement.
Now, as infatuated as we were with the super-spy antics, what had us rewatching the two-and-a-half-minute sneak peek was Dua's peroxide chin-length 'do. See below for said hairstyle that we're gushing over:
Not only do we love the colour and length of her hair but we're all for the side-parted bouffant style and lived-in, gritty waves. This, paired with her smokey eye look and blood red stiletto nails make for a feisty glam.
Having said all that, before we get too carried away – what with booking a bleach and tone pronto, – it's worth noting that this hairstyle of Dua's is more than likely a wig. I mean, between work commitments and restoring her hair's cuticle health post-bleaching circa 2019, we're sure that Dua is set on her trademark dark locks.
That is, not to mention how this movie would have been produced, filmed and edited a while ago.
Everyone's clicking on...
Nevertheless, whether or not the star steps out at her next public appearance blonde or brunette (or as a redhead, bluehead, pinkhead etc. etc.), there's no denying that Dua Lipa can serve and rock just about any look. Our forever beauty muse!
Argylle is set to be released 2 February, 2024.
