As we shake off the blankets and pack away the bikinis, we acknowledge that summer is over. What a sassy season it was. Gigi Hadid is marking the transition to back to school by ditching her ever-growing platinum locks for a soft, warm, slightly more manageable cashmere blonde.
The supermodel was spotted running errands in New York City on September 24, and was sporting a striking new hairdo and color. The color was an even, radiant shade that was just a touch darker than the color she sported last year.

‘Cashmere blonde’ is achieved by adding highlights all over. ‘Clients have been asking for a softer blonde that’s not as dramatic,’ top London hair colourist Gemma Smidmore tells Glamour, adding, ‘Cashmere blonde gives a soft look and because it’s very finely woven into the dye, it fades very gradually at the hairline. It also helps with hair types and conditions as you don’t need to use a ton of bleach to achieve the colour. It’s a real mix of tones.’
“There’s no blonde who doesn’t want their hair color to look luxurious,” Smidmore explains. “This hair color is super soft, super fine, tiny, delicate weaves of light that blend cool and warm colors into your hair… creating a light, luxurious blonde look that won’t show up as it grows out.”
When we last checked in on Hadid on September 20, her hair was carefully grown out at the roots, looking like this:
