For many, the change of seasons means leaning into richer, darker hair color shades like the ever-popular “expensive brunette” or “cherry cola.” But Hailey Bieber is turning that trend on its axis by going blonde-er for fall. The 27-year-old model shared a selfie on her Instagram Story with a text overlay that read, “lighter for fall.” Are you ready to follow her lead?
Bieber’s new hair color features slightly darker roots that blend into lighter tones, creating a soft, dimensional finish. It’s giving us “old money blonde” vibes, a trend hairstylist and color expert Kelly Novobielski recently told NewBeauty she expects to be huge this fall. “With fall coming and summer ending, a lot of blondes are shifting to old money blonde, which is more lived-in and low-maintenance,” she explained. “The shade features a more natural root that melts into a multidimensional shade.”
While we don’t yet know which celebrity hairstylist is behind Bieber’s transformation, but we’re on the lookout to find out? Could it be Moroccanoil’s global colorist Matt Rez, who has worked on her color before? We’ll be keeping a close eye on his Instagram in hopes he’ll share more details soon. In the meantime, you can see her new hair color for yourself below.

The transformation, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Jenna Perry, made waves, and headlines galore, naturally. “It took me two days to take her this gorgeous shade of golden blonde,” she told Vogue of Jenner’s new hair color. “She is really inspired by the ’90s and Caroline Bessette-Kennedy right now.” And truthfully?
