Gigi Hadid made a stunning appearance at Paris Fashion Week, debuting a dramatic hair transformation at Le Grand Dîner du Louvre. The event, which serves as France’s equivalent to the Met Gala, brought together a host of celebrities, designers, and models to celebrate the museum’s new Louvre Couture exhibition.
Arriving in the City of Light the day before, the supermodel managed to squeeze in a last-minute visit to the salon just ahead of the glamorous event. When she walked in, her signature golden blonde bob was nowhere to be seen. In its place was a sleek ash blonde bob, styled in vintage Hollywood waves with a deep side part. The new look, with its cool-toned platinum hues, was a striking contrast to her metallic Moschino gown, outshining even the shimmering fabric.
True to her signature edgy style, Hadid avoided bleaching her roots, opting instead for a grungy, grown-out look that aligned perfectly with the punk-rock flair of her studded strapless dress.
Her silvery bob was tucked behind her ears to reveal bold, ’80s-inspired gold earrings, adding a touch of retro glamour. For her makeup, Hadid chose a cooler palette with a pale nude lipstick, subtle griege contouring, and fluttering faux lashes, further enhancing the sophisticated yet edgy vibe of her ensemble.
While many might expect the model to gravitate toward warmer blonde tones given her natural complexion, her choice of icy platinum hair was an unexpected and refreshing departure from the typical winter hues. This bold move by Hadid sets her apart as a trendsetter, especially as others flock to more conventional shades like bronde and cowboy copper.
Ash blonde, once popularized in the 2010s by stars like Taylor Swift and Cara Delevingne, has been somewhat dormant in recent years. But with Hadid’s striking new look, this edgy color might just make a stylish comeback. Keep an eye on this space for what could be the beginning of an ash blonde renaissance.
