It's not a trick of the light: Florence Pugh's hair is officially pink. Saying goodbye to her signature blonde, Pugh gave her hair the full Barbie treatment, dyeing her fairly new buzz cut [1] an edgy pastel shade even Ken would want his hairstylist to re-create immediately. She debuted the subtle new hair colour while attending the Valentino runway show on 5 July during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.
Pugh's hair colour falls somewhere between a blush and the exact shade Barbie's aura emits into the universe. At the base of her head, dark roots blended into a frosty blonde topped with a layer of pink. At first glance, the setting sun in Paris almost made the playful hair colour seem imaginary, but a closer look proved that the watercolour effect was simply the product of an impressive dye job. Pugh completed her beauty look with brushed-up eyebrows, bold mascara, a rosy lip, and similarly pink cheeks. On her hands, the star also wore vibrant red nails, a stark contrast to her voluminous, purple naked dress.
A true hair chameleon, Pugh has been liberal with making tweaks to her hair in the past. In January 2022, the actor showed off a brunette pixie-mullet [2], one of her most daring hair transformations. In 2021, Pugh also dyed the tips of her hair [3] a silvery pastel purple. From a faux fringe [4] to a blonde lob [5], she can basically pull off any hairstyle.
With Barbie season in full swing, we hope to see Pugh test out more shades of pink hair all summer long.
