Zendaya Debuted Bright Sunshine Blonde Hair for Summer

Zendaya can pull off practically anything. From tennis-core Challengers outfits to her spooky-chic Maison Margiela gown at the Met Gala, she’s a certified fashion chameleon who’s unafraid to try on new hairstyles and makeup to get the full moment. Her latest big change includes new bright blonde hair for summer vacation.

If you did anything to your hair ahead of summer, we would guess you dyed it blonde or cut it into a bob—the two were some of the most popular hair trends of the season. But, not the blonde you may think: the trendy platinum blonde hue that was once everywhere has now been replaced by a lived-in golden blonde that Zendaya has embraced for the warmer season.

You know when you see blonde hair and you’re not sure how to describe it other than a ray of sunshine? That’s exactly how we’d talk about Zendaya’s new color. It’s bright, bubbly, and has a mix of golden, caramel, and blonde shades that look like a big ray of sunshine. Yesterday, on July 10, the actor made an appearance at the Noel Coward Theatre in London. She was photographed with playwright Jeremy O. Harris, debuting her fresh bright blonde in a curly updo. Her hair was pulled up with a few strands left out to frame her face.

At the event, she wore a chartreuse-colored long-sleeve sweater and a cream satin midi skirt styled with tan boots. Her makeup was minimal and relaxed and featured a swipe of mascara and a touch of pink lipstick.

ICYMI: Earlier this summer, the 27-year-old was spotted with beau Tom Holland with a deeper version of her honey blonde hair we saw her wear throughout the Challengers press tour. Throughout spring, Zendaya tried on a range of blonde shades, from brighter blonde extensions to soft golden tones. Whether the hair change is for a new role or she’s simply embracing the sunny weather, we’re here for it.
