Beyoncé Reveals a Dramatically Darker Hair Color Alongside Jay-Z
For a global superstar such as Beyoncé, standard beauty rules typically don’t apply. That said, for her latest concert look alongside husband Jay-Z, she did embrace one classic hair switch-up. Performing at the Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, which honored Nelson Mandela one century after he was born, the Everything is Love singer traded in her lightened lengths for an unexpectedly darker hue.
Keeping in line with the season’s slew of shocking new hair colors—Anne Hathaway went red, while Bella Hadid experimented with neon pink—Beyoncé’s new, charcoal brown shade made the case for a more subtle shift into winter. With a few selective streaks of her golden blonde still framing her face, and her signature, extreme waves that extended well into waist territory, the star’s above-neck look felt larger-than-life. Especially because she paired it with a metallic, glimmering lid and a pink lip that matched her husband’s fuchsia, double-breasted suit. Consider it the ultimate winter beauty lesson—fit for a queen and her king.
