Gabrielle Union’s New Hair Color Is the Reason Why She’s a Beauty Icon

Is there a hair color (or style) Gabrielle Union can't pull off? Obviously the answer is no.  

The America's Got Talent judge is officially a blonde. She debuted the new hair color on her Instagram and we're giving this look the golden buzzer.

She graced her 14 million followers with not only one, but four photos of her platinum blonde blunt bob. It was accompanied by bold purple winged eyeshadow and a velvet suit only Union could pull off. Each photo seems to be straight out of a fashion photoshoot.

The Bring It On star captioned the gallery with, "Turns out I'm not having any more fun than usual" (with the shrug emoji included) and she's honestly the beauty icon we deserve. 

Aside from her photos, she gave followers even more angles of the hair color on her IG stories (including a hair flip boomerang we didn't know we needed).

This isn't the first time Union changed up her style and kept us on our toes. She's known for taking the lead on the latest hair trends (from her long waist-length braids to her short bob cut), trying out bold makeup looks (or forgoing makeup all together) and changing up her fashion choices (while sometimes matching with her adorable daughter Kaavia). 

The blonde bob is quite the popular trend this fall. Celebrities like Camilla Cabello and Jennifer Lopez are dyeing their hair (or simply wearing a wig for fun) and transitioning into the colder weather on a lighter note.

Whether it's a temporary look or here to stay, we look forward to double-tapping the like button on all of Union's photos.
