Cindy Crawford's 'Upper East' brunette hair might look expensive, but it's all thanks to a box dye

Cindy Crawford is pictured with loosely-curled brunette hair and wearing a one-shoulder brown dress at The 2026 WWD Style Awards presented by Women's Wear Daily at Regent Santa Monica Beach on January 09, 2026, in Santa Monica, California. .

While most new celebrity hair colours and cuts just end up as reference pictures we show our hairdressers, Cindy Crawford's 'Upper East' brunette refresh is actually a look we can replicate exactly, with a budget L'Oréal hair dye.

If you're keen for a change this season, the 2026 hair trends are brimming with inspiration, from fringes and bounce-boosting layers to soft and natural-looking hair colour updates. If you want to skip the salon, though, there are a few ways to refresh your strands at home. If your hair is blonde, for instance, one of the best purple shampoos will help neutralise brassy tones and add radiance, while there are also semi-permanent glosses that can help add vibrancy back into your red hair, and so on. Then, of course, there are more permanent options, like box dyes.
