Contrary to and breaking the unwritten beauty rule that darker hair colours are for the autumn/winter months and lighter locks suit spring/summer, Beyoncé just debuted a new – yet unsuspected – 'do. And TBH, we ain't mad about it! After all, it is Beyoncé's world and we're all just living in it...
Over the weekend [25 November 2023], the singer attended the coveted world premiere event of her very own upcoming movie, Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé. For this, as one (read: a megastar and world-renowned icon) would, Bey debuted a fresh new hair look – and it comes just days after she switched out her signature blonde for a warm brunette winter tone. Are you keeping up?
Bey's hairstylist and genius behind the below 'do, Neal Farinah shared an Instagram post to reveal her peroxide blonde transformation.
Not only are we all for the super light, platinum blonde (that's verging on a white colour) but the butt-skimming lengths, too. As shown, Neal has styled Bey's tresses pin-straight.
She's snatched and ready to slay. [Insert endless fire emojis, here.]
Now, having gushed over Bey's new look, before you go and book in at your local hair salon for a dramatic makeover, it's worth speculating that her hairdo is more than likely a wig. I mean, as fleetingly mentioned above, it was only last week that the mum-of-three was seen rocking a shorter, freshly dyed dark caramel hue. And unless she's come into luck with a miracle hair growth serum, we're going to hazard a guess at saying it's more than likely all an illusion.
Everyone's clicking on...
Alas, whether or not the Malfoy-esque look is here to stay, there's no denying that it's giving us all the trending hairspo. *Adds to ever-growing Pinterest beauty board*
