Is it just us or is summer is the unofficial season of ombré? When done right, it gives your strands that sun-kissed effect that looks like you've been in the pool all summer (instead of fresh out of your stylist's chair). The best part is ribbons of gold and sunny bronze painted throughout add tons of depth and dimension to the curled, waved, and tousled styles you're sure to wear all season long. Bonus: The hair color of the season doesn't just look incredible on natural blondes. It's the perfect move for brunettes to dabble with lighter tones and less commitment. Ahead, find 40 blonde ombre looks to send to your stylist before your next summer pool party.
Serena Williams
The tennis legend's newly debuted color is one for the books: Glossy honey-blonde with dark roots complements the golden tones in her skin.
Khloé Kardashian
Looking at Khloe Kardashian’s ash-blonde roots paired with sun-kissed golden ends, we forget she’s a natural-born brunette.
Jasmine Sanders
Curls are dynamic enough on their own, but a perfectly executed dark-to-light ombre adds tons of dimension, as seen on Jasmine Sanders.
Kim Kardashian
Before Kim Kardashian committed with full-on blonde styles, she experimented with lighter hair via this warm-toned ombre to contrast her formerly dark strands.
Lauren Conrad
Going full-on platinum is a commitment. Take note from Lauren Conrad and embrace the icy shade, without ditching your natural roots.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara nails the dark-roots-golden-ends ombre, proving that natural brunettes can get in on the blonde action without having to keep up with bi-weekly salon visits.
Ciara
Even short-haired beauties can get in on the light-to-dark trend as evidenced by Ciara’s ombré bob.
Vanessa Hudgens
For a fresh take on the artfully blended style, try a high-contrast (and even higher-drama) dip-dye ombre.
Blake Lively
Lighter on the ends. Lighter around the face. Blake Lively is a prime example of blonde ombré done right.
Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt’s painted-on golden streaks are exactly that back-from-the-beach look you should strive for.
Romee Strijd
Even natural blondes can use the ombré technique to their advantage. Gradual, hand-painted highlights throughout your ends will brighten up your look in a totally natural-looking way.
Laverne Cox
If you’ve ever had doubts that a bright blonde all-over color would be too stark of a contrast against your skin tone, consider a honey blonde ombre that accentuates your natural roots.
Rihanna
When you get the color just right, a blonde dye job can act as a highlighter and bring out the natural glow in your skin tone.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Although Rosie Huntington-Whitely is actually a UK native, her soft blonde ombré transition brings endless amounts of California cool.
Serayah McNeil
If you’re still on the fence about trying a blonde ombré, experiment with the look via some cornrows with blonde ends.
Gigi Hadid
In case you’re as indecisive in your stylist’s chair as we are, Gigi Hadid’s blonde ombré proves you don’t need to settle on just one shade of blonde. Instead, go for a medley of golden tones.
Selena Gomez
The next time you second guess embracing your dark roots, think back to the time Selena Gomez went blonde.
Patricia Bright
This perfect ash-colored ombré hue looks even better when worn in shiny waves.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie’s soft blonde dye job proves an ombré done right fades horizontally just as much as it does vertically.
Lucy Hale
A high-contrast, but impeccably blended gradient makes the growing-out phase a total breeze. Go ahead, skip your next appointment—your ombré will still look amazing.
