If there was one, single hair color to define Fall/Winter 2023, it’s without a doubt a rich and warm, honey-hued blonde. It’s not an opinion, it’s a fact—and I have the proof to back it up. Rewind a few weeks, and Rihanna ditched her dark brown locks in favor of the color in question. It’s a tone she hasn’t rocked in well over a decade. A few days later, both Kim Kardashian and Keke Palmer debuted a nearly identical tone, on the red carpet no less.
This all brings me to today’s big event. Selena Gomez said goodbye to her rich, chocolate brown tone in favor of—you guessed it—honey blonde highlights. Her new look, which was shared by hairstylist Philipp Verheyen, remains full of dimension. Her piece-y highlights have a caramel-esque undertone, flattering the Rare Beauty founder’s complexion. The blonde is heavier toward the top layers which effectively brightens her entire appearance.
