The 5 Blonde Hair Colors Everyone's Asking For This Summer
August is the perfect time to switch up your signature hair color, whether that means going bright summer blonde or opting for a subtly highlighted version of your natural hue. That's right—the season of your-hair-but-better blonde tones is back, and with it comes a generous lineup of statement summer hair color trends to try right now. Whether you're into a raw bleached finish (think It-girl buttery tints that look effortlessly cool) or a believable bronde that maximizes that healthy, post-gloss shine, there's a summer blonde shade for everyone in 2025—it's just about finding the one that works for you. Here, blonde expert and celebrity colorist Harriet Muldoon breaks down her top five blonde hair color trends to try this summer—including the celebrity reference photos you need and exactly what to ask your stylist for. The go-to blonde hues of Beyoncé and Jennifer Lawrence may lean toward bronde, but they never lose that luminous golden tone. 'We've seen this look evolve over the last few years, but it's officially here to stay,' says Muldoon. 'The base is lifted to a rich, warm blonde, allowing the natural warmth to shine through. Balayage highlights are painted through the midlengths and ends to create contrast. The weaves are slightly thicker so they don't get lost in the hair—you want those pieces to pop!' To capture the luxurious, gilded tones of Sienna Miller and Margot Robbie, go for a bright, dimensional blonde that pairs perfectly with a natural root. 'This look is all about working with the real you,' says Muldoon. 'It's about embracing your roots—still adding lighter pieces, but layering them over your natural base. The highlights are skinny, light weaves that keep everything soft and seamless.' If you're into Sabrina Carpenter's bombshell gold tone, this captivating blonde is the one to try. Need more references? Look to Dakota Fanning—or even Pamela Anderson's latest hue. 'These girls are the highlight queens,' says Muldoon. 'Super-blonde, super-creamy highlights create a full-impact look. But instead of a scalp bleach, the highlighting technique keeps it softer at the base. For this look, I'd use a combination of weaves and slices. It's finished with a gloss of pearl, gold, and clear to give a creamy—but not overtoned—effect.' While this daring shade may lean copper, there's still something quintessentially blonde about the vibe of Lindsay Lohan's latest update. If you're after a warmer color but aren't ready to commit to auburn or strawberry blonde just yet, try this transitional, citrus-inspired toner. 'This look is all about copper meets blonde,' says Muldoon. 'It's where my two favorite tones collide. The mix of gold and copper gives it a chic, subtle finish that could almost pass for natural. Copper blonde is a great way to introduce clients to the copper family.' This vibrant blonde is a bold choice, but for anyone craving an edgier finish to their summer shade, its grungy appeal is limitless. Feeling extra playful? Try a temporary color dip-dye like Kristen Stewart's blushed tips—perfect for celebrating the bright, sunny months. 'This trend is the bleach girl with a modern twist,' says Muldoon. 'We're seeing bleach girls going for less toner to get a grungier effect. I love the pink panels worked through the ends—they add softness, but still make a bold statement.'

Maxim slammed for resurfaced article teaching men how to ‘cure' feminists: ‘I feel physically ill'
It was a case of Maxim-um misogyny. A mere week after getting shamed over its resurfaced 'unsexiest women' countdown, Maxim is under fire yet again for another 'sexist' hit piece from the early 2000s. The article in question, from 2003, taught guys how to 'tame' feminist females, per a Reddit post raising eyebrows online. Advertisement 3 The article (pictured in this Reddit screenshot) advised men to 'sign her up for Bust, a feminine-light mag that says women can be independent, strong, and relatively hairless.' Titled 'How To Cure A feminist,' the controversial guide unveiled four tips for transforming an 'unshaven, militant, and protesting vegan' into an 'actual girl.' Included above each pointer were inflammatory photos of a woman gradually stripping down to a bikini, like a 'regression of woman' chart. The first step in this modern taming of the so-called shrew? Win her over, per the piece. Advertisement 'A feminist is just like any other woman: she won't give you the time of day if you don't know how to approach her,' the advice read, describing how to remedy this so-called toxic femininity. They prescribed masquerading as a feminist ally by asking 'intelligent,' patriarchy-shaming questions such as 'what must women do to earn equal pay for this equal work?' and 'has Gloria Steinem's marriage hurt the feminist agenda?' The accompanying photo showed the prototype of said untamed feminist, pictured wearing a tank top, baggy jeans and no shoes and smoking a cigarette while raising her arm to reveal her hairy armpit. Meanwhile, a speech bubble beside her head read, 'There'd be no more wars if all penises were cut off! Argh!' 3 'I feel physically ill knowing that this was in a mainstream publication,' said one critic. LIGHTFIELD STUDIOS – Advertisement The second tip, accompanied by a more traditionally feminine-looking gal in a pink hoodie, advised the men of the world to 'open her eyes.' This meant discussing ''lipstick' feminism, which is far more moderate than the combat-boot variety,' per the piece. They even quoted Jennifer Baumgardner, who declared in her book 'Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and The Future' that she can be a 'girly-girl and still be a feminist.' The article then advised men to 'sign her up for Bust, a feminine-light mag that says women can be independent, strong, and relatively hairless.' Advertisement The third step, entitled 'treat her right,' encouraged men to treat said feminist like they would 'any other girl.' 'As long as you're not overbearing, she won't object to your opening the occasional door or picking up a check,' read the tip. Included was a pic of a pigtailed woman with a short white skirt, and matching top that shows off her bare midriff. 3 Maxim was part of an epidemic of publications giving sexist 'hot takes' in the early 2000s, per Redditors. — 'Shift her focus' was the title of the fourth and final step, which was paired with said woman flashing the camera a sultry look while rocking a skimpy swimsuit. Stamped over her were the words 'cured' in bold red lettering. To finalize the feminist's alleged metamorphosis, the man has to 're-shizzle her feminist-tinged interests so you can actually spend time with her,' per Maxim. They then quoted Michelle Weiner-Davis, the author of 'The Sex Starved Marriage,' who said to 'focus on the things you have in common.' 'She likes softball? Take her to a major-league game,' read one of the pointers. Advertisement The mansplaining mag article didn't sit well with Reddit commenters. One incensed reader snarked, 'Awfully bold of them to disguise their bimbofication porn as relationship advice.' 'I feel physically ill knowing that this was in a mainstream publication,' said another. Others thought it was par for the course given the misogynist subjects that were en vogue during the aughts. Advertisement 'This just sums up the nonsense that was the early 2000s,' lamented one armchair cultural expert. 'The media was always taking hot wrong takes when it came to women, like all the time.' 'Absolutely … There was so much ridiculously sexist advice,' another user responded. They added, 'We were living in the wild wild west, I can't believe some of the stuff that was allowed to air or printed.' Advertisement To wit, Maxim found itself in the crosshairs last week over an 18-year-old Maxim article that ranked the 'unsexiest women in showbiz — with 'Sex and the City' star Sarah Jessica Parker topping the list. 'How the hell did this [racehorse] Barbaro-faced broad manage to … star on a show with 'sex' in the title?' it read while ripping SJP.
