Katie Holmes is turning heads once again, this time with a fresh hair transformation. On May 6, the actress shared new photos celebrating the launch of season two of the Peacock drama Poker Face. While Holmes wore a chic white and blue floral suit for the occasion, it was her newly debuted bronde hair color that truly stole the spotlight.
Holmes is no stranger to making bold hair changes, and this latest look is no exception. Earlier this year, she was spotted at Paris Fashion Week at the Zimmerman show, sporting boho waves with chestnut highlights and a dimensional brunette hue—a noticeable departure from her usual dark brunette shade. However, her most recent color choice takes things a step further: a bronde shade that blends brunette and blonde tones seamlessly. The lighter brunette base has ash-brown undertones, with hints of almost-blonde pieces scattered throughout, making this her lightest look in recent memory.
For the occasion, Holmes styled her new bronde hair with long, tousled curls, tighter than the beachy waves she wore in Paris. Her current hairstyle evokes the look of trending XXL mermaid waves, adding a glamorous touch to her summer-ready appearance.
Bronde, a low-maintenance fusion of brunette and blonde, is quickly becoming a go-to color trend. “Brown hair has been a huge color trend in recent years, with many celebrities opting for a more natural, albeit slightly altered, hue,” says Alex Brownsell, celebrity hairstylist and cofounder of Bleach London. “We’ve seen blondes leaning toward more beige tones, maintaining their blonde while toning it down to something that looks effortlessly natural.”
Holmes isn’t the only celebrity embracing the bronde look this season. Kate Middleton also debuted a similar bronde shade during her anniversary trip to Scotland with Prince William last month. While their styles are similar, Middleton opted for a sleek blowout, whereas Holmes’ waves exude a more relaxed vibe. Either way, bronde is undeniably the perfect hair color for the warmer months—effortless, lived-in, and perfect for summer.
