Sienna Miller

Sienna Miller is the queen of highlighted blonde hair. She always nails the perfect shade combinations to complement her coloring and her blonde hair is never brassy. This particular look is extremely natural looking, but she achieves this apparently effortless blonde look with the help of many flaxen highlights. Flaxen is a kind of ashy light blonde and it looks amazing, especially on paler complexions. These highlights give her medium blonde base color a bit of lift and extra dimension. Siena’s color is a universally flattering shade of blonde and is perfect for girls who want to be blonde, but want to maintain a natural and understated look.

2Dark honey blonde hair with highlights

Blake’s hair is a lovely dark strawberry blonde with an overlay of honey blonde highlights. Although visible roots can sometimes look un-kept, Blake’s roots totally work and look stylish as they transition softly and beautifully into lighter warm honey highlights. The honey blonde highlights add a bit of lift and dimension to her hair and really brighten up her eyes. This is a fabulous medium blonde look that is universally flattering on all skin tones!

4Medium blonde with strawberry blonde lowlights and golden highlights

Doutzen Kroes

This shade of blonde is to die for! Although there are a lot of subtle highlights going on in this look, the overall color has the effect of looking extremely natural and effortless.

The overall effect is stunning and all of these colors create a full and healthy look!

5Ash blonde hair with flaxen highlights

Cara Delevingne

Ash blonde hair is super on trend right now, and there is no one better to look at for inspiration than the gorgeous model Cara Delevingne. Ash blonde hair is not onl a flattering choice for cool toned complexions, but it also looks super stylish! Though she is a world famous supermodel, Cara is known for adapting her beauty to be a bit on the edgy side. Sure, she’s a thin, blue-eyed blonde like a typical model, but her shade of blonde and striking dark eyebrows make her stand out from the pack. Cara’s ash blonde hair has a few flaxen highlights to add some dimension to the overall look. Though we are pretty sure Cara’s talented hair stylist spent a lot of time perfecting this look, this is a fantastic blonde shade that has a distinctive understated and low-maintenance feel compared to brighter shades of blonde.

6Ashy honey blonde hair

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has accomplished the impossible: she has found a blonde shade that is simultaneously cool-toned and ashy while also being warm and golden. While we aren’t exactly sure what kind of witchcraft her hairstylist used to achieve this, we are definitely certain that this is a stunningly unique shade of blonde that you should try out if you have a hairstylist who is talented enough to reproduce it!

No list featuring amazing blonde hair colors would be complete without a nod to Jennifer Aniston.

This ash blonde look is perfect for girls who want to wear a shade of blonde that looks elegant no matter what the occassion!

8Ash platinum blonde hair

Lindsay Ellingson

This ash blonde look is so light that it almost looks silver! However, silver hair is totally on trend right now which is why we think Lindsay’s hair is perfectly suited for this list. Lindsay has such an angelic face that she can pull off literally any shade of blonde. Normally she goes for warmer hues and looks like a gorgeous beach babe, but there is something about this shade that makes her look like a beautiful cyborg hipster….and we love it! This color may not be right for everyone, but we are crazy about it and encourage you to try it out if you think it might suit your coloring!

9Dark strawberry blonde hair with subtle ash blonde ombre

Lauren Conrad

Lauren’s hair is definitely an interesting blonde look because it combines a warmer shade on top and a cooler shade on the bottom. The top third of her hair (from her roots) is a beautiful muted strawberry blonde color and the remainder of her hair is a soft ashy blonde. This is a gorgeous combination thanks to her talented hair colorist, so make sure if you try to replicate it that you go to a professional with a lot of experience creating specific shades of blonde.

10Dark honey blonde hair with ash blonde highlights

Although we love Julianne when she rocks platinum blonde locks, this darker blonde shade is super gorgeous on her. Her base color is a beautiful dark honey blonde color and on top of her base she has a bunch of ash blonde highlights. This darker hue really complements Julianne’s skin tone and makes her look like she is glowing. The good news is that this unique shade of blonde will complement most skin tones so you should definitely try this one out!

If visible roots are not your style, this is not a look you’re going to want to replicate. However, if you do like the ombre trend and appreciate a low-maintenance look, Elizabeth’s hair is a perfect source of inspiration. The contrast between her dark ash brown roots and her light honey blonde hair is striking and looks super stylish.

12Platinum blonde hair with gold lowlights

Ashley’s bright blonde look is flirty and gorgeous. The model’s base hair color is very light blonde, but she tones it down a lot with a healthy smattering of golden lowlights. We love this look because it is reminiscent of retro pin-up girls, but it has a distinctly modern beachy vibe!

13Dark Golden Blonde

Olivia Palermo

This dark golden blonde hue is so gorgeous and definitely one of Olivia’s best hair colors ever. Olivia’s base hair color is a neutral brown and on top of this base she has a ton of golden blonde highlights and a few strawberry blonde highlights to add some depth to her hair. This shade brightens up Olivia’s complexion and makes her eyes sparkle. This hair color would look good on most skin tones, but it is especially flattering when you have a bit of a tan going on!

14Medium neutral blonde with light blonde face framing highlights

Rosie Huntington-Whitely

Rosie is effortlessly stunning. With gorgeous full lips, captivating blue eyes, and defined bone structure, Rosie clearly has the facial features to gorgeously pull off any hair style or color. Though she looks amazing with any hair color, this neutral blonde color is particularly fetching on her and really brings out the natural beauty of her face. Although highlights are awesome, we love that Rosie’s look contains relatively minimal highlights because it allows her hair to look super natural.

15Bronde (brown + blonde) with light blonde highlights

Jessica Alba

Jessica has such a beautiful smile and we love how this bronde highlighted look makes her look like she is glowing from within. If you are not familiar with the term, “bronde” refers to hair that is somewhere in between being brown and blonde. Jessica’s light blone highlights push her over into the category of blonde in our books, but this is definitely a great example of an understated blonde hair color that will flatter any skin tone!

Gwen. She’s an icon and words will never do her justice…but we will try anyway! We think she’s simply flawless and definitely one of the hottest and most stylish moms on the planet. This white platinum look has been her signature for years and she looks incredible and edgy with this shade of blonde. Though Gwen has always had remarkably healthy looking hair considering how lifted it is, remember that achieving this shade (and maintaining it) can be hard on your hair. Be sure to use a high-quality hair conditioning mask at least once a week!

Georgia is the beautiful spawn of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall, so it’s no surprise that she has such a gorgeous and one-of-a-kind face!
