While winter typically sees a trend toward darker hair colors, some celebrities are defying the norm and opting for lighter hues. Enter Kate Beckinsale, the beauty who left fans in awe with her stunning new blonde lob at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 7. But that’s not the only thing that turned heads—her outfit choice was spot-on, pairing perfectly with her radiant hair as she donned a Self-Portrait Cream Soft Knit Bow Mini Dress.
Completing the ensemble, the Farming actress added a touch of glamour with a crystal-embellished clutch bag, a Graziela Diamond Shooting Starburst Ring in Two Tone, and let’s not forget her sky-high statement shoes: the Pleaser Flamingo Platform Sandals. It’s safe to say she went all out for this look, proving once again that she’s a style icon who knows how to keep things exciting, even in the midst of winter’s darker color palette.
Kate Beckinsale Rocks New Hair At Red Carpet
While this season has witnessed celebrities gravitating towards lighter tones, like Selena Gomez unveiling her fresh blonde highlights, Beckinsale decided to take it a step further by not only embracing lighter hues but also chopping off her locks.
Her hairstylist, Dimitris Giannetos, captioned Kate's new hair on his Instagram story as the "BLOB' aka Blonde bob," and fans were loving it!
"Didn't think she could look any better but she does," wrote one fan.
Another user asked, "How can she look so youthful without any plastic surgery done?"
One fan said, "Wow she looks stunning as a blonde." We agree!
Kate Beckinsale Claps Back At Trolls Who Criticize Her New Blonde Hair
Despite the overwhelmingly positive responses to a seemingly straightforward change like a hair color switch, there were inevitably some negative reactions from fans. The actress, however, didn't hesitate to respond to the critics, delivering a detailed comeback in a lengthy post on her Instagram.
In a recent photo featuring the actress in a stunning strapless pink gown at the iconic Hilton family's holiday party, a user took the opportunity to share their opinion on her recently changed hair: "Why such a color? I thought the original was better - a shame."
Beckinsale prepared a long response, writing back, "because sometimes one fancies a change and is not too bothered about what [you] may think about it, given we clearly do not share the same aesthetic, nor do we know each other. Is it nice not to have people coming up to you in person or online and saying they don’t think your orange puffer jacket flatters you? I expect it wouldn’t occur to to you that they might, because you have the expectation that people have manners and if your appearance doesn’t please them that they likely wouldn’t say so. And that they have better things to do. But you feel free to. Why? Were you brought up to think your unwarranted opinion is the most important factor in any situation? If so, tell your mum she did a bad job." Ouch!
Clearly, Kate undoubtedly adores her appearance and remains unswayed by the opinions of others!
