Now that Halloween is over, we’re in full winterizing mode, swapping out our wardrobes, interior decorations… and now, perhaps, our hair color, too.
Famous blonde Nicola Coughlan has just switched things up with a trending “cowboy beige” color, which she showed off as she attended a screening of the forthcoming Nathan Fielder documentary, You Can See Everything. (Elizabeth Holmes’s hair in the film might also coincidentally fall into the cowboy beige category, but perhaps that’s less aspirational.)

Ditching her signature tone-on-tone sugar spun hair, the actor’s new look is defined by a darkened, medium brown base, lifted with burnished gold hues through the mid-lengths and ends. The best news about the dimensional shade, in addition to it being winter-ready? Cowboy beige’s darker base means less noticeable regrowth, and thus allows for more time between salon appointments.
This winter, in celeb world, we are seeing team glossy mocha go up against the winter blonde bunch – Coughlan’s new color is a compelling pro-blonde rebuttal to equally aspirational darker looks. And the experts have weighed in, with Hershesons colorist Hannah G previously telling Vogue that color melted blondes will be everywhere in 2027. “Forget flat, one dimensional blonde,” she said, adding that next year will be all about “colors like whipped vanilla, soft champagne, buttery beige, and delicate pearl tones, seamlessly melted together to create a blonde that feels entirely bespoke.”
