Florence Pugh’s Brunette Mixie

In January, the typically blonde Pugh joined the dark side with a deep brown “mixie”, aka a pixie-mullet hybrid — a hair change that served almost as much drama as the Don’t Worry, Darling press tour.

Ever the beauty chameleon, Kardashian stepped out with a bleached blonde lob back in June. The cut was done by none other than her go-to stylist Chris Appleton.

Halsey’s Copper Pixie

Another convert of copper hair: Halsey. In September, the singer-slash-beauty entrepreneur revealed a sunset red pixie cut that looked effortlessly cool.

Selena Gomez’s Bob & Bangs

In March, the Only Murders In The Building star posted a selfie with the caption “New hair who dis?” as she showed off her French-girl bangs and chin-grazing bob.

Ariana Grande’s Blonde Makeover

Fans are used to seeing Grande with brunette locks, but surprised everyone with a blonde transformation in October — a gorgeous hue courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Carl Bembridge.

Karlie Kloss’ Lustrous Brunette

Kloss has long been a blonde, but recently entered her brunette era. Perry was also responsible for this dye job, a shade she dubs “chestnut brown.”

Aubrey Plaza’s Bright Blonde Hue

Just when White Lotus stans began getting used to Plaza’s brunette bob as Harper, the star stepped out with a very Marilyn Monroe shade of blonde. Daphne would totally approve.
