Summer's arrival is the perfect excuse to finally act on your Pinterest board and switch up your hair color. Whether you've been waiting for the right moment to go blonde, add a striking twist to your brunette base, or go all out with a bolder hue, there are plenty of ways to zhuzh up your hair for the warmer weather. This year, we're in for a treat: expect everything from 'golden hour' blonde (a sunlit take on the classic honey blonde) to 'burnt sugar' brunette (a warmer, more caramelized take on brunette tones). Safe to say, there's no shortage of options for all skin tones and hair types. Below, we've quizzed esteemed colorists to break down the best hair color trends worth bookmarking this season. Burnt Sugar Brunette View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zoë Taylor (@zoetaylormakeup) According to Samantha Cusick, hairstylist and founder of her namesake London salons, 'burnt sugar' brunette is 'rich, warm, and caramelized in all the right places.' Make no mistake — it's far from your regular, one-dimensional brunette. Instead, she says, 'It's all about depth with golden undertones and subtle ribbons of amber that catch the light.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bree, The Golden Child ☀️ (@breecolter) Cusick also notes that this color works particularly well on olive and deeper skin tones, complementing them with 'a natural, sunlit effect that feels effortlessly sophisticated.' We love these shades on Bella Maclean and Bree Colter. Golden Hour Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by QUE HAIR SALON SYDNEY (@quecolour) In his summer hair trend report, hair artist Tom Smith shared that 'golden hour' blonde will reign supreme. This is a true fusion of copper and blonde, says Smith, 'intensely golden and full of depth and richness.' As seen on the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Abigail Cowen, Esther McGregor, and Gwendoline Christie, this color is a step up from the previously trending ' sunflower blonde ' as it strikes the perfect balance between warm and golden undertones. Take inspiration from this shade posted to Instagram by QUE Colour. Cusick notes that this particular trend primarily focuses on strategic lighting placement. 'It's a smart way to go lighter without a full transformation,' she says, and it can be achieved through adding face-framing golden highlights through the mid-lengths and ends. As for the name? 'This color creates a natural brightness that mimics that just-before-sunset glow,' she adds. Mocha Mousse Bronde View this post on Instagram A post shared by NJ Hairstylist (@glamcatt) Bronde — a mix between blonde and brunette — is getting a makeover for summer. Enter: mocha bronde, 'a monochromatic and muted' shade that suits a variety of skin tones, says Smith. Unlike the caramel hues that dominated summer 2024, Smith says this shade leans more neutral, and of course, it is influenced by the popularity of Pantone's Color of 2025: mocha mousse. Think: coffee and mushroom-esque tones that seamlessly blend through the lengths. Cusick describes this shade as 'rich, glossy, and low maintenance.' We love this color posted to Instagram by Caterina. Cherry Red View this post on Instagram A post shared by BLEACH (@bleachlondon) Babyliss ambassador and stylist Syd Hayes describes this shade as 'a vibrant, head-turning burst of juicy cherry red.' Not to be confused with burgundy or auburn, Hayes specifies that it is a true, medium-bright red with cool, almost raspberry undertones. This look posted to Instagram by BLEACH London is the perfect statement red. 'Red shades often intensify beautifully under sunlight, making them pop even more,' adds Hayes. Muted Auburn View this post on Instagram A post shared by Whitney Hayat (@whitneyhayat) Spotted on Smith's list of summer hair color trend predictions, and seen here on model Whitney Hayat, muted auburn offers a more wearable take on copper hair. The difference? It features earthy and auburn tones that will complement most skin tones without the intense orange-y hues, says Smith. To nail this shade, he advises topping up your hair with a color-depositing conditioner that enlists chestnut or soft copper tones. Try dpHUE Gloss+ in Strawberry, $38. Lemon Platinum View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jade Hart Hair (@jade_hart_hair) Smith describes this as 'a bright and gleaming lemon sorbet tone,' and predicts this striking blonde will trend thanks to its edgy yet ethereal appeal. 'If 'golden hour blonde' was the deeper, more copper-toned evolution of sunflower blonde, [then] lemon platinum is the brighter, fresher and cleaner alternative,' he says. You will have spotted this color on celebrities like Anya Taylor-Joy, Kirsten Dunst, and Kristen Stewart. Meanwhile, Marley Xavier, stylist and celebrity colorist at Hershesons, describes this shade as 'buttercream blonde' — 'creamy, soft and balanced; neither icy, nor overly warm.' Even better? It suits a wide spectrum of skin tones, adds Xavier. This shade on Mali-Koa, by BLEACH's head stylist Jade Hart, is stunning. Peekaboo Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sofia Richie Grainge (@sofiagrainge) 'This isn't your average all-over blonde,' shares Hayes. 'It features strategically placed, bright blonde ribbons or panels hidden underneath a darker top layer,' he explains. This effect is particularly beautiful when your hair moves, or is tied up or braided, as it reveals 'panel pops' for added dimension, adds Hayes. Even better? It's pretty low commitment. 'It's perfect for those who want a playful surprise element for ponytails, beach waves, and updos,' he says. This color on Sofia Richie Grainge is gorgeous. Honey-Lit Brunette View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝔸𝕕𝕖𝕢𝕦𝕒𝕥𝕖 ℍ𝕒𝕚𝕣 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕠 | 𝕋𝕣𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕖𝕕 ℍ𝕒𝕚𝕣 𝕊𝕥𝕦𝕕𝕚𝕠 💎 (@adequatehairstudio) According to Xavier, honey-lit brunette is set to be one of the most gorgeous and multi-dimensional shades of the season. 'Think late afternoon light melting into brunette tones; it's sun-warmed,' he says. Xavier also specifies that this particular hue focuses on 'hand-painted caramel or honey tones' throughout the mid-lengths and ends, which mimic the way natural sunlight hits the hair. He recommends it for those looking to enhance their natural brunette subtly. 'It flatters warm and neutral undertones especially well,' adds Xavier. Take a cue from this shade posted to Instagram by Adequate Hair Studio. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Samantha Cusick London (@samanthacusicklondon) 'This is blonde at its creamiest,' says Cusick. 'Think soft, cool tones with just a hint of vanilla that looks almost whipped in texture.' She recommends this color for those who want to be blonde without the typically harsh or icy finish. Already light? Cusick advises asking your colorist for a beige or a baby blonde toner to achieve the creamy effect. We love this color by Katie McKenna at Samantha Cusick Fitzrovia. Strawberry Glaze View this post on Instagram A post shared by IMOGEN ROSE HAIR | COPPER SPECIALIST & EDUCATOR (@imogenrosehair) Blurring the lines between blonde and copper, this color offers a fun twist on good old strawberry blonde. Think of strawberry glaze as 'a lighter take on copper with a subtle rosy twist,' shares Cusick. According to the pro, this color is perfect for natural redheads who want to elevate their tone, or blondes looking for something soft and summery without going too bold. Look to this shade by Imogen Rose for the ultimate inspiration. Salted Maple Brown View this post on Instagram A post shared by 어낵툴 천유나 단발 탈색•컬러전문 베이지컬러 치크펌 (@a_knack_yuna) That effortlessly cool maple brown color that you keep spotting all over Hailey Bieber's Instagram? This shade is essentially that, with a summer spin. 'Think warm, multi-dimensional brunette kissed by the sun,' says Hayes. 'This isn't just caramel; it's a sophisticated blend of a rich, warm brown base with subtle, warm blonde ribbons woven throughout, mimicking natural sun-bleached pieces. It embodies effortless summer highlights while maintaining depth,' he adds. Hayes applauds this color for its low-maintenance nature: 'The regrowth is forgiving and as it warms in the sun, [you'll] get even more dimension, preventing a washed-out look.' It's also a universally flattering shade that will complement all skin tones, particularly those with warmer undertones. Hairstylist A Nack nails it here. California Blonde View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joana Lefebvre (@joanalefebvre) Ever think about rocking that LA-inspired, effortlessly chic blonde? Enter: 'California blonde' — a foolproof choice for the summer. 'Soft, sun-faded and totally effortless, California blonde blends golden highlights with a creamy base that looks like it's been lifted naturally over long beach days,' shares Xavier. 'It's the epitome of low-maintenance luxury that suits warm or neutral undertones beautifully,' he adds. According to Xavier, the finish is relaxed, radiant, and distinctly West Coast, much like this color on Joana Lefebvre. 12 Summer 2025 Hair Color Trends Predicted By Experts written by Denise Primbet Photo: Via @bleachlondon.

‘Snow White' becomes Disney's worst-performing live-action remake in nearly 10 years
Disney's 'Snow White' reboot is leaving a legacy it certainly doesn't want, becoming the company's worst-performing wide-release live-action remake in almost 10 years. The 2025 remake of the original 1937 movie opened March 21 in the US and Canada, and has struggled, earning barely $200 million worldwide. The film's page on calls the movie 'officially a flop,' and says its $205.5 million earnings are 'miles behind its massive $410 million total cost,' including marketing, production, and other items. The site calls the film's disappointing performance 'a financial blow which few expected to be this severe, especially with the losses already estimated at over $115 million, per Collider.' 'Pete's Dragon,' a 2016 Disney remake of the 1977 film, came away with $143.7 million, $61.8 million less than 'Snow White.' The 'Snow White' remake was not without its controversies, which perhaps contributed to the film's poor reception. Over three years before the film's release, one A-list actor with dwarfism had Walt Disney Studios reframe how it portrayed the classic seven dwarfs characters. 'Game of Thrones' star Peter Dinklage called out the studio for even considering taking a stab at portraying magical dwarfs in the modern era. 5 Rachel Zegler reads a book on the set of 'Snow White,' from an Instagram post on March 20, 2025. Instagram/@rachelzelger Speaking on comedian Marc Maron's podcast in 2022, Dinklage stated, 'You're progressive in one way, but then you're still making that f—–g backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together. What the f— are you doing, man?' Disney then addressed the complaint and said the company would take a 'different approach' to the seven dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' 'I mean, you know, the original cartoon came out in 1937 and very evidently so,' Zegler said during Disney's D23 Expo in 2022. 'There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird! Weird. So we didn't do that this time.' 5 Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler in a scene from the movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 5 The seven dwarves from the 2025 movie. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Due to the controversy over the dwarfs and Zegler's comments on the original movie, Disney announced in late 2023 it would delay the release for 'Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs' by a full year. It was originally slated to be released in March 2024. Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. In an August 2024 X post talking about the official trailer for 'Snow White,' the actress wrote, 'And always remember, free Palestine.' She also lashed out at people who voted for President Donald Trump, saying in an Instagram post, 'May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace,' adding, 'F— Donald Trump.' 5 Rachel Zegler, the film's lead actress, faced backlash on social media for comments she made that were critical of the 1937 version of 'Snow White.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection She later apologized, saying in part that 'Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding.' Disney also scaled back the Hollywood premiere event for 'Snow White.' Variety reported 'the studio won't be rolling out a robust red carpet like it usually does,' and that the dozens of media outlets customarily present wouldn't be. Instead, coverage consisted of house crew members and photographers. 5 Zegler was also vocal about her anti-Israel views. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Fox News Digital reached out to Disney for comment on 'Snow White's' box office numbers, but did not immediately receive a response. Fox News' Gabriel Hays contributed to this report.

Princess Märtha Louise's Daughter Is Joining a Popular Reality TV Series, Despite Being 6th in Line to the Norwegian Throne
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway's daughter is branching out into reality TV. Leah Isadora Behn, who is currently 6th in line to the Norwegian throne, has announced her participation in a reality TV series called Forræder, which is Norway's version of The Traitors. Announcing the news on Instagram, Behn wrote, "Traitors Season 5 with @ gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss." She continued, "See you in the fall, this is going to be sick." Clearly, Behn is ready to be a conniving and memorable reality TV contestant. The 20-year-old royal has two sisters—22-year-old Maud Angelica and 16-year-old Emma Tallulah. The trio's father, Ari Behn, passed away in December 2019 at the age of 47. Leah isn't the first member of her family to embark upon a career in reality TV, either. Her older sister Maud appeared on the Norwegian version of The Masked Singer, Maskorama, in 2022. It's also worth noting that Princess Märtha Louise's three daughters don't have royal titles, despite being in line for the Norwegian throne. Aside from a possible future as a reality television star, Leah is a social media influencer with almost 150,000 Instagram followers, as of June 2025. Leah's mother, Princess Märtha Louise, married American Shaman Durek Verrett on August 31, 2024. The couple tied the knot at Hotel Union in Geiranger, Norway, which offers incredible views of a World Heritage Site-designated Norwegian Fjord. In April, Princess Märtha Louise and her new husband shared their top relationship tips on social media. "Always telling the truth and always being transparent with each other builds a beautiful and successful relationship because you can trust each other and know that, no matter what is said, love will always be there," Verrett shared in the video. Märtha Louise emphasized the importance of taking "responsibility for your triggers." She further explained, "It's mostly you who has the triggers inside of you from something in the past, it's not actually the person in front of you."
