Anyone who’s ever dyed their bleached hair a fun fantasy colour can tell you that without regular refreshes, a vibrant pastel quickly becomes a faded memory. And yet, Florence Pugh just made the case for letting your temporary punch of pink become a whole new washed-out hue.
We’ve been all too tuned into the top of Florence’s head ever since she shaved it for the Met Gala in May. She’s been growing out the buzz cut since then, and last Wednesday in Paris, she arrived at the Valentino haute couture fashion show with the inch or two that has grown in dyed bubblegum pink.
One week later, on July 12, Pugh made an appearance at a London photo call for the highly anticipated new film Oppenheimer, revealing that the shade has already noticeably shifted. Instead of a vivid pink, her hair has faded to a combination of pale peach and platinum blonde, with her dark roots showing through.
If this was anyone else, perhaps it wouldn’t look so ridiculously, effortlessly cool, but this is Florence Pugh we’re talking about. She could blatantly pick her nose at a premiere and everyone would be raving about her snazzy booger mani.

Once it fully fades, we’ll be eager to see if she dyes it pink again, dyes it an entirely different colour, or just keeps on growing it out as nature sees fit. But we have no doubt that every possible option will look unfathomably chic.
