The '90s Are Alive Again Thanks to Joe Keery's Blonde Highlights
Stranger Things star Joe Keery debuted yet another stunning hairstyle at a Paris Fashion Week event.
He is now rocking—and stick with us on this one—BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS.
Even wilder than that? The fact that he pretty much pulls it off.
Joe Keery might play the best character on Netflix's sci-fi/horror smash Stranger Things, but it's the ups and downs of his utterly iconic hair that somehow most consistently mesmerizes us all. In his latest stunning move, Keery showed up at a Paris Fashion Week event with his hair looking as voluminous as ever—but with a twist: he's got some late '90s, NSYNC-esque blonde highlights going. And.....guys, well, is it crazy to say it kinda works?
Walking the carpet of a Saint Laurent event with his girlfriend Maika Monroe (a fellow modern horror icon for her role in It Follows), Keery showed off yet another hair transformation, this one a massive upgrade from the last one. As you might remember, back in September of last year, he showed up at a Chanel event with an inexplicable bowl cut. The times were dark for everyone. While he returned to his former glory before too long (and made it fairly clear that his look was a reference to Alfred Molina's character in Boogie Nights), the damage was done. But this new look, well, he's rocking it.
The recently-released new trailer for Stranger Things 4 confirmed a couple things: that the show was entering production, and that David Harbour's Chief Hopper was, indeed, returning. We don't know much else, including when the new season is set. Could Steve Harrington possibly find his way to the '90s? Could he actually be a trailblazer? Or is Joe Keery just a grooming and style icon on his own, dictating to everyone else what's cool and what's not.
That being said, we can't particularly advise that you try this latest Keery look at home. While he might be able to pull it off, it might be a bit more difficult for the rest of us—those of us without monster-hunting and ice cream-scooping experience, at least. We also don't all have hair that flows dramatically through the wind at all times, looking naturally windswept in a way that probably could not accurately be described without significant hand motioning.
Keery is kicking the year off with a bang, and the rest of the year is looking to be similarly explosive. While we don't know if Stranger Things 4 will land in 2020, Keery did debut a movie at Sundance last month titled Spree. Collider called the movie "American Psycho for the digital age," which...yeah. We're all in. He'll also be appearing alongside Ryan Reynolds in Free Guy this summer, directed by one of his Stranger Things executive producers in Shawn Levy.
