Lana Del Rey, the queen of enigmatic allure and musical genius, recently sent social media into shockwaves with her latest hair transformation. On March 30, the Grammy nominee unveiled a striking new look: honey-blonde locks, courtesy of famed celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham. In an Instagram post, Lana showed off her radiant mane styled in loose curls and complemented by a makeup-free face that exuded effortless beauty.

This isn’t the first time Lana has dabbled in the blonde side. Fans caught a glimpse of her lighter locks earlier this year during the SKIMS Valentine’s Day campaign in January 2024. That was just a teaser, however, and lacked the signature Cunningham touch. Lana quickly returned to her brunette roots for her winter engagements, which included performances at the Grammys, Super Bowl, and an Academy Awards dinner.
Comparing Lana’s recent honey blonde shade to her previous darker hues is like night and day. While her winter chocolate brown locks were rich and shiny, bordering on black, the new honey blonde hue exudes warmth and nostalgia. It’s reminiscent of Lana’s early career days, when she wore a natural blonde shade, or more recently, her Chemtrails Over the Country Club era.
The transformation did not go unnoticed by Lana's legions of fans and fellow celebrities. Social media exploded with admiration. For many fans, seeing Lana go back to blonde felt like a resurrection, a joyful moment reminiscent of resurrection weekend.
