As the air gets colder and the leaves start to fall, it seems the fall-to-winter shift evokes the urge to switch up our style. Indeed, your hairstyle shows others a glimpse of who you are, which explains why periodically transforming it can help you feel in control of life while so many changes take place around you. So, you may naturally feel eager to adapt your look with the current stage of your metamorphic lifestyle, especially as the upcoming season welcomes new goals and fresh tastes. During this time of year, you might lean toward an auburn shade to complement your Pumpkin Spice Latte or longer layers for warmth against the chilly breeze. If you need some inspiration to show your hairstylist, check out these five celebrity looks marking the hottest trends this season.
Hailey Bieber: Dark Dye

Swapping her California blond for a deeper brunette this October, Hailey Bieber fell for the hibernation hue—a darker hair color that requires less maintenance than lighter colors—that remains a quintessential fall trend. Though the new shade harmonizes with her brown eyes and tan complexion, she softened the look by saving a few golden wisps around her face. Perhaps she felt hesitant about totally joining the dark side. No worries Hailey, we love the gentle transition.
Janet Jackson: Box Braids

Part of what makes something a trend is its ability to reemerge down the road, and Janet Jackson—whose legendary career has inspired a number of trends—is certainly stimulating a comeback for the box braids she sported in “Poetic Justice.” In a recent Instagram post, the 55-year-old multi-hyphenate even wore a similar newsboy cap to the one she donned in the 1993 film. Nevertheless, Jackson took a fresh take on the box braids with a color-blocking style that combined blue and black hues. Protective and jazzy, these faux locs with the golden hair clip will surely remain trendy this fall.
Selena Gomez: Blunt Bob
While promoting the season-one finale of her Hulu show “Only Murders in the Building” via TikTok, Selena Gomez debuted a sleek bob. Although the new look definitely diverged from the long mermaid-style hair we saw on her last month, Gomez tends to revisit the dark glossy chop from time to time—she even rocked this staple look at the 2017 Met Gala. That said, this look can be worn playfully or even radiate a sense of professionalism, which might be perfect for those facing new responsibilities this season.
Jessica Chastain: Red Tones

It’s not like Jessica Chastain normally veers from her fiery red hair, but the look certainly comes in hot during the fall and winter months when most things around us—the leaves, the sky and our freezing cheeks—lean toward a touch of crimson. Maybe you want your hair to resemble the pumpkins at the patch you’ll visit, or perhaps you watched Oscar Isaac sensually embrace Chastain at the “Scenes From a Marriage” premiere and decided red hair was sexy. Whatever the case, this season is the perfect time to try the red copper, red orangey tones or violet-red tones you always wanted.
Kristen Stewart: Vibrant Blond Waves

Making blond hair her b-tch is Kristen Stewart, who has enjoyed several hair moments this year. At the Venice Film Festival, the 31-year-old actress unveiled a lurid strawberry blond hue and short lackadaisical waves. At the Met Gala, she rocked a retro ponytail and victory roll fringe that paid tribute to the ’50s rockabilly movement. And recently, she stunned spectators at the Chanel spring/summer 2022 show by nailing the lighthearted ’90s spiky top knot. With each blond variation, Stewart’s hair evokes the nostalgia of old-fashioned yellow tones while remaining spicy with the experimental styles, all thanks to her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel. Indeed, these trendy blond looks will mesmerize others when you return home for the holiday season, and it’s ideal for making a statement this winter.
