Kristen Stewart does this thing where she sporadically pops up in the public eye—typically for events like fashion shows or movie premieres—looking completely different from the last months-ago appearance she made. Like, just when we’ve kind of forgotten what her last hairstyle was, she shows up on a red carpet with a new look that reminds us that she’s a total hair chameleon. But while she may dramatically change her hair with impressive frequency, there’s one common thread: a certain common hipster je ne sais quoi that’s definitely true of her latest hair color switch-up.
Stewart spent 2024 growing out the full-blown mullet she got in 2023, which was accompanied by a rich chocolate-brown hue. In fact, she hasn’t strayed from a brunette base in well over two years—even when she got orange highlights—making us wonder if the actor’s color experimentation days were winding down.
Well, wonder no more: Stewart has shown up at a special screening of her film Love Me with a new blonde hair color, and it’s definitely giving the cool indie sleaze vibes that are having such a moment right now. The layered, air-dried look’s waves are a buttery blonde on the top-most layers, with a caramel tone on the longer under-layers, and dark shadow roots up top. There’s a casualness about it that says, “I totally did this at home by myself,” but don’t be fooled—the nuances of this color rely on a pro colorist’s eye and mastery.
