Katie Holmes seems to be in the mood for hair switch-ups lately. First, she took us all by surprise, chopping her waist-length locks to shoulder length – completely transforming her look. Now? She’s made a move to the dark side, ditching her blonde balayage in favour of a rich espresso brunette.
The actress, 47, looked sensational as she stepped out in New York last night for the American Ballet Theatre’s Spring Gala. Her plunging white gown popped against her bronzed skin – but it was her hair that really made us pause. Her new bob has now been dyed a rich, glossy brunette shade.
The deep espresso shade only further highlighted her features, from her glossy strands to her hazel eyes. She had looked stunning with her blonde balayage, but the deeper shade brings her look to a new level.
Katie didn’t take to the red carpet solo. Instead, the event became a mother-daughter date night, with her mum, Kathleen, joining her. The pair were all smiles, and it’s easy to see where Katie gets her gorgeous features from.
It was almost like a photo negative – the two share the same striking features, but while Katie showed off her fresh dark locks, her mum effortlessly embraced her silver hair.
Beyond her hair, Katie’s makeup was just as show-stopping. She kept her complexion dewy and fresh, with bronzer swept across her face for a sun-kissed finish, while a peachy blush dusted over the apples of her cheeks added a natural-looking flush.
What to read next
She matched her new hair with an equally dark eye look. Deep espresso shimmers were swept across the lids and softly smoked out. Her lips leaned into the same mood, finished with a satin sheer brown lipstick. Matchy-matchy indeed.
There’s only one question left: is the espresso brunette here to stay – or can we expect another surprise transformation just around the corner?
