Harper Beckham embraces her dark brunette roots following Barbie blonde hair colour
In a new Instagram Story shared by her mum, the one and only Victoria Beckham, the 13-year-old is seen celebrating her birthday, holding a dreamy white cake topped with candles. But it's not just the cake or candles we're taking note of, but instead, it's Harper's hair.
Gone is the bright Barbie blonde root-to-tip hue that had everyone (including us!) talking last month. In its place? A stunning return to her soft, brunette tone with a shadow root regrowth that feels oh-so-refreshing.
ICYMI, Harper debuted a bold new blonde look earlier this summer, which we described as her Barbiecore era – a nod to the pink-powered, Margot Robbie-fronted aesthetic that dominated 2024. We said it at the time, and we'll say it again: Going blonde is not for the faint-hearted. And turns out, the upkeep might have been too much (even for a Beckham), now embracing her natural mousey brown roots. And honestly? She's glowing!
That all said, whether she's experimenting with colour or sticking to her roots (literally), Harper Beckham continues to cement herself as Gen Z's most quietly stylish rising star. And with a fashion mogul mum and football legend dad cheering her on, we suspect this is just the beginning of her beauty evolution.
Barbiecore? Consider it archived. Natural brunette? Very much trending!Follow Lia on Instagram.

Selfish beach goers are ‘sprawling' with massive tents and umbrellas — pissing off locals: ‘They should not be allowed'
Get outta here. With summer in full swing, one of the many complaints from local beach goers is that people don't respect others' space when arranging an elaborate setup in the sand. A study by revealed that 92% of Americans have admitted to engaging in this rude behavior, also known as 'beach sprawling' — and they don't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Advertisement 3 People don't see any problem with whipping out massive tents and umbrellas to comfortably sit on the beach. Stefano Giovannini And we're not talking about a simple umbrella and chair setup — nowadays, people are whipping out tents, canopies and cabanas to make their beach day comfy. Many frustrated people have taken their 'beach sprawling' complaints to social media — stirring up an online debate. Advertisement 3 Frustrated beachgoers have taken to social media to complain about the 'beach sprawling' trend. Stefano Giovannini 'Probably a super unpopular opinion, but I hate, hate, hate these tents. They should not be allowed. And if you are going to use them, you should have to sit at the back of the beach. I can't see my kid when she's in the water, it blocks the view — and an umbrella does the exact same thing,' quipped one beach lover in a TikTok video. 'Go early and sit in the front,' argued one person in the comments. 'I'm with u! u can't let the kids play in the water anymore!' chimed in someone else. Advertisement In another video, a frustrated sunbather showed a surprisingly empty beach — but as the camera panned, a giant blue tent sat on top of the couple with overlay text on the video that read: 'Biggest pet peeve at the beach. All this space and you literally set your tent up right on top of us, absolutely no common sense or spatial awareness.' 'People have no sense of beach etiquette,' read a comment. Advertisement 'I feel like they don't like being lonely,' joked someone else. 3 Beach visitors have complained that these elaborate setups block their view of the ocean — and intrude on their personal space. James Messerschmidt This over-the-top beach behavior is such an issue that some Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland beaches have reportedly banned these obnoxious view blockers. Fines of up to $250 are supposedly issued if anyone is caught setting one of them up, according to the outlet. Setting up shop isn't the only annoying thing beachgoers are doing these days — 70% of seaside visitors have confessed to peeing in the ocean instead of finding a nearby restroom, according to the survey. 49% of participants also admitted to drinking alcohol on beaches where it's prohibited and 38% steal sand or shells while strolling the seashore — which is a little more innocent but still bizarre, nonetheless.

Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: How To Solve Today's Wordle I'm not sure if I've complained about the heat yet this summer (haha, yeah right) but it is just way too hot out. Not all day. The morning wasn't so bad. The evenings are fine. But the afternoons are brutal. I also live at 7,500 feet above the sea, and when you're that high up the sun is incredibly harsh. Relentless sun, endless blue skies. Dry, windy, dusty. North of here, on the north rim of the Grand Canyon, wildfires burn. Send us rain! Here's the deal: You send us rain and we'll send you some sunshine! For now, short of miraculous weather trades, let's just do this Wordle. Wordle is a daily word puzzle game where your goal is to guess a hidden five-letter word in six tries or fewer.

Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. CHORE was a strong opening guess, leaving me with just 45 remaining solutions. Weirdly, the very first word that popped into my head after this was GROAN. I put the 'R' in front of the O and imagined an 'A' following that and there it was: GROAN. A part of me hesitated. I almost put in GRAIN just so I'd have all new letters and rule out more remaining words. But I went with my gut and my gut was right! GROAN was the Wordle! I get 2 points for guessing in two and 1 point for beating the Bot. The Bot gets 1 point for guessing in three and loses it immediately for losing to me. I widen my lead but only just: Erik: 3 points Wordle Bot: -1 points The word "groan" comes from Old English "grānian," meaning to murmur, complain, or utter a low sound of pain or grief. It is of Germanic origin, related to Old High German "grīnan" (to growl) and Old Norse "grenja" (to weep or howl). The root conveys a sense of emitting a deep, inarticulate sound of distress.
