As a beauty editor, I know just how much influence a celebrity can have over this season’s biggest hair colour trends, especially when it comes to Bella Hadid. When the star debuted her honey blonde hair colour in 2025, we suddenly saw everyone opting for this warm, multi-dimensional shade. However, in her latest Instagram post, it seems Hadid has switched things up slightly, opting for a sandy-blonde hue that, in my opinion, is the perfect late-summer hair colour to see you through August and beyond.

This month can be a tricky time for hair trends, with summer slowly coming to an end but autumn not quite beginning. As someone who always opts for blonde balayage during the warmer months, it feels far too soon to be getting the dark brown hair dye out, but it also doesn’t feel quite right to go even lighter. Hadid’s transitional hair colour feels like the perfect option, sitting somewhere in between a light brown and golden blonde, with smudged roots that only add to the late-summer appeal.
