6 Celebrities Who Effortlessly Rock Both Dark and Light Hair Colors

While Gigi Hadid is known for her blonde hair, Bella Hadid has rocked dark brown tresses forever, which is why jaws dropped when she made her Cannes Film Festival appearance in May 2025. Bella’s blonde hair transformation proved that she can pull off any color. It’s no wonder the model looked at home with her fresh look, as her hair is naturally a bit lighter, and she dyed it brown to set herself apart from Gigi. “I just have a darker personality. And my sister being blonde and me being brunette, it’s a good separation,” she told Allure in 2017.

Beyoncé has had everything from chocolate brown to highlighted amber-colored hair, but these days, she’s in her platinum blonde phase. While the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer had a gorgeous soft butter yellow hue during her “Renaissance” tour, she went even lighter for her “Cowboy Carter” tour, which was quite a departure from her Destiny’s Child days. Icy blonde or mocha brunette, Beyoncé commands the stage either way.

Since breaking into the pop music scene with “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008, Katy Perry became known for her inky black hair. The color suited her, as she was going for a kitschy retro aesthetic with large curls and blunt bangs. Since then, she’s sported electric blue hair, a bright pink dye job, and every color in between. In 2017, Perry showed off an icy blonde lob that kept getting shorter and shorter until she debuted an adorable platinum pixie at the VMAs that year. The “American Idol” judge has since gone back to her raven locks, but we can’t decide which of her many hair colors is our fave.

Angelina Jolie has been synonymous with her vampy dark hair since becoming a breakout star in the ’90s films “Hackers” and “Foxfire.” During her Billy Bob Thornton days, she went even inkier with jet black hair that went perfectly with her bad-girl persona. However, Jolie proved that she’s still gorgeous with blonde hair when her character rocked a brassy hue in “Girl, Interrupted,” and fans have seen her go back and forth between blonde and brunette several times over the years. These days, Jolie is into a soft buttercup yellow with platinum highlights, as seen during the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, which proves she’s shining with her post-divorce style transformation.

When Jennifer Lawrence rose to fame for portraying a gritty teen in “Winter’s Bone,” she became known for her natural blonde hair. However, she proved her commitment to her roles after she dyed her hair a dark brown for “The Hunger Games” to portray Katniss Everdeen. Lawrence went back to her wheat-colored locks after the film wrapped, but she again went brunette for “Silver Linings Playbook,” which gave her a moodier feel, just like her troubled character.

Halle Berry’s pixie became her signature style since becoming a breakout star in the ’90s, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t experiment with new ‘dos. While she mostly kept to her natural brunette during her decades-long career, Berry has occasionally lightened her hair with highlights, such as the amber streaks she showed off in 2016. Her thick curtain bangs only emphasized how the toffee shade created a gorgeous halo around her face.
