Coleen Rooney has just debuted one of her most glamorous beauty looks yet, featuring a sleek and effortlessly chic bun that perfectly complements her rich, deep brunette hair. With hair tangles and harsh elements in the past, the WAG and TV star is showcasing a sophisticated style that highlights her luscious, ultra-shiny dark brown locks, now in a “starlet brunette” shade—a trend that’s taking the beauty world by storm.
Her updo is meticulously styled with a center part, leaving a few tendrils loose around her face for a soft and flattering finish. This modern, undone bun offers just the right amount of “give” to maintain a casual yet polished look. It strikes the ideal balance between elegant and easygoing, unlike the tight, scraped-back styles that can lead to traction alopecia or headaches.
The shift from her previous sun-kissed caramel tones to this more refined, monochromatic brown is another noteworthy detail. Gone are the balayage highlights, replaced with a uniform deep brown shade that still manages to appear multi-dimensional and full of life. This deep shade is as rich as a “Bournville chocolate,” perfectly complementing her cocoa-toned smoky makeup.
Trend experts are heralding Coleen’s sleek new style as the “starlet brunette” look, predicted to be one of the hottest hair trends of the season. Zoë Irwin, L’Oréal Professionnel UK’s editorial colour ambassador, explains that ultra-deep, monotone brunettes give off a luminous glow and accentuate the skin, making it a universally flattering style. Tom Smith, a renowned hairdresser and trendspotter, also praises the “monobrown” trend, emphasizing that it’s a more straightforward and budget-friendly approach compared to more complex color techniques like balayage or babylights.
This monobrown style is easy to maintain, requiring just one rich, glossy brunette tone that highlights the natural depth and shine of the hair. Whether your hair is warm, cool, or neutral in tone, this look can be adapted to suit all shades of brunette, allowing for a glossy, high-shine finish that reflects light beautifully.
Coleen’s effortlessly chic “starlet brunette” bun proves that sometimes simplicity is the key to achieving a luxurious look that’s both on-trend and timeless.
