Bella Hadid has just affirmed that this particular shade of blonde is the ideal hair color for late summer.

      As a beauty editor, I'm acutely aware of the significant impact a celebrity can have on this season's leading hair colour trends, particularly when it comes to Bella Hadid. After she showcased her honey blonde locks in 2025, we noticed a notable increase in people choosing this warm, multi-dimensional hue. However, in her recent Instagram update, Bella appears to have made a slight change, opting for a sandy-blonde shade that I believe is the ideal late-summer colour to carry through August and beyond. This month can be challenging for hair trends, as summer gradually winds down but autumn hasn't fully arrived. Personally, I typically lean towards blonde balayage during the warmer months, and it feels prematurely time to reach for dark brown hair dye, yet going significantly lighter doesn’t seem quite right either. Bella's transitional hair colour strikes a great balance, resting between a light brown and golden blonde, with smudged roots that enhance its late-summer charm.

      Bella Hadid revealed her sandy blonde locks during a shoot with Alo. The best aspect of this trend? It's surprisingly low maintenance. Yes, if your hair is naturally darker, you may need to consider some sandy blonde balayage, but thanks to the lighter brown roots, frequent highlight appointments won’t be a concern. Win-win! To keep the look feeling summery, I highly suggest pairing this hair colour trend with effortless beachy waves, just like Bella.
