Angelina Jolie's Buttercup Blonde Hair Is The Perfect Autumnal Antidote
If you've been thinking of a hair pick-me-up, there's no better time to schedule a refresh than when the seasons begin to truly change. As October beckons and the air feels a little chillier, it's natural to long for a colour tweak that looks a little richer and deeper to lean into the vibe of the season, perhaps a honey blonde balayage à la Victoria Beckham or Emma Stone's moody, dark espresso hair.

But! There is something to be said about doing the complete opposite and embracing the brighter side of the colour spectrum to lift both your hair and the spirits. That's exactly what Angelina Jolie did over the weekend when she attended the premiere of her upcoming film Maria, at the 62nd New York Film Festival.
Jolie walked the carpet in the company of her children, Pax, Zahara and Maddox, wearing a vintage Madame Grès ankle-skimming number and side-parted waterfall tresses that look subtly blonder than her previous 'sunlit blonde' style. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it tweak, but the brighter, buttercup blonde tone does wonders to add contrast to the snowy white dress and gently lift the complexion.
It seems Jolie's colour refresh involves gentle golden highlights with warmer, honeyed tones woven through for added depth and dimension. It's a subtle update, but for anyone who finds their summer tan gradually fading, a sunny colour à la Jolie can instantly bring luminosity and warmth back to the complexion. The darker roots are also forgiving for those who prefer to have longer time in-between salon appointments.
Blonde tresses can be challenging to maintain, but a good glossing treatment, shine spray and hydrating mask will help elevate the colour for a healthy, gleaming finish. A slick of red lipstick is the perfect finishing touch, especially on cloudy London days like these.
