Blake Lively is synonymous with blonde bombshell hair — but it’s a defining factor that isn’t quite as consistent as it may seem. Throughout her career, Lively’s blonde has undergone slight mutations (caramel undertones, a bronde stint, a strawberry tint). It has also been traded for a myriad of colours and cuts, most makeovers undergone in the name of a role. The latest look in this production parade? A mane of ginger waves, the style adopted for her forthcoming film, It Ends with Us.
The actor was spotted on Monday in New Jersey, her cascade of red brushed up and out, and parted deeply to the side. Though the switch-up may not have come about organically, it is in keeping with the current trend for mermaidcore (air-dried texture, Ariel-inspired hue). The warm shade might just spark the urge for a seasonal overhaul, if only in the name of the summer spirit. If commitment is an issue, take a cue from Lively: Your signature style will remain forever.
