Since stomping onto the modeling scene, the sisters Hadid have offered a beauty-centric study in contrasts: Gigi with her supernaturally sunny bombshell blonde and contagious smile; and little sister Bella with her somber, more mysterious mix of alabaster skin and darkened brunette lengths. That all changed today. Capturing the spirit of today s summer solstice, the younger Hadid took to Instagram to show off a shocking hair color transformation that took ombré to new heights, with a flash dark roots giving way to a bright peroxide blonde edged with pastel-dipped pink ends.

Though likely a temporary trompe l oeil special effect created on set, the fresh aesthetic felt like the perfect above-the-neck choice for a first-day-of-summer celebration—with a dash of contemporary grunge to give it the requisite cool girl edge. Here s to lightening-up—in terms of hair karma and in spirit alike—from now through Labor Day weekend.
