It’s not a trick of the light: Florence Pugh‘s hair is officially pink. Saying goodbye to her signature blond, Pugh gave her hair the full Barbie treatment, dyeing her fairly new buzz cut an edgy pastel shade even Ken would want his hairstylist to re-create immediately. She debuted the subtle new hair color while attending the Valentino runway show on July 5 during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Pugh’s hair color 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 blond topped with a layer of pink. At first glance, the setting sun in Paris almost made the playful hair color seem imaginary, but a closer look proved that the watercolor 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, one of her most daring hair transformations. In 2021, Pugh also dyed the tips of her hair a silvery pastel purple. From faux bangs to a blond lob, 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.
