With the temperatures finally cooling and whispers of autumn swirling like the leaves, it seems that as quickly as brat summer came into our lives, it has been replaced by demure fall. As the weeks go by, we are slowly replacing our bright green nail polishes and grungey black eye makeup with things that are a lot more, well, cutesy and mindful.
Demure doesn’t need to be dull, though. There are tons of ways to channel that chic, elevated energy into your look without reverting to plain Jane energy. Take Kate Beckinsale’s latest hair transformation as proof, as the actress traded her balayage blonde for an eye-catching yet subtle pastel pink.
Kate Beckinsale Goes ‘Strawberry Whipped Cream’ for Fall
When we think about fall hair color inspiration, we tend to think of warm, darker tones, like rich brunettes and honey blondes. But, Beckinsale is never one to comply with the norm, and her recent ‘do by celebrity hairstylist Dimtris Giannetos—which she debuted alongside her pup, Myf at an adorable Empire State of Pom party celebrating the children’s book Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel, hosted by author Lara Eurdolian and Charlie himself—is living proof. As Giannetos coined it, Beckinsale’s “strawberry whipped cream” hair is the perfect blend of cool, pink tones and ashy blonde, making for somewhat of a 2024, demure and mindful take on Strawberry Shortcake.
Before this changeup, Beckinsale had been rocking a lived-in blonde, so to create this strawberry style, all Giannetos had to use was a generous coat of L’Oréal Paris’ Feria Smokey Pink ($13). The smokiness of Beckinsale’s pink hair makes it so mature and elevated, and honestly, it has us adding strawberry whipped cream to our list of fall hair options.
