Kendall Jenner Got Golden Highlights That Are Perfect for Summer

Kendall Jenner’s raven-color hair might be her signature, but she’s not afraid to change it up once in a while. We all remember her copper hair moment that helped spark a strawberry blonde trend. For her 2023 spring look, it seems that Jenner has reached for the bleach, debuting a pretty, new, sun-kissed look in a pH๏τo shared by her glam squad on Instagram.

In fact, those in the know might call the model’s new look “golden hour highlights,” mimicking the sun reflecting off the hair in that soft and flattering light just before sunset. Jenner’s colorist Matt Rez describes the look as “sun-kissed hair goals” and we have to agree.

While still keeping the Kardashians star’s roots dark and cool, it seems Rez added plenty of golden highlights to the mid-lengths and ends of Jenner’s new ‘do, made all the more effective with the tousled texture and middle part, styled by hairdresser Cherilyn Farris.

Jenner’s new pH๏τo appears to be from an episode of The Kardashians, season 3, which is due to air on May 25. The image, showing her pulling a signature Kendall Jenner pout, was shared by Rez, Farris, and makeup artist Diane Buzzetta, who all worked on the new look.

We don’t know when Jenner opted for the lighter color, but she has been sporting sun-kissed waves recently. For her trip to watch the Lakers with Bad Bunny on May 12, her hair was firmly golden and, again, for a night out in Los Angeles later that week.

Kaia Gerber recently hopped on the golden hour highlights trend, too, and while highlights for spring aren’t exactly groundbreaking, it’s a celebrity trend that’s definitely doable and for that, we can be grateful.
