Elle Fanning’s New Honey Brown Bob: It’s Officially Brunette Season

While autumn’s shorter days, cooler nights, and turning leaves may be all the inspiration needed to dip into a richer hair color, the brunette trend has officially surpassed the seasonal. Case in point: perennial golden girl Elle Fanning, who arrived at the premiere of her new film, The Boxtrolls, with her signature waist-length flaxen layers traded in for a long, blunt chestnut bob. With a few thick, honey highlights to provide a hint of sunny contrast and a warm palette of rosy makeup—save for a flick of navy eyeliner—the natural blonde’s piercing green eyes showcased the true appeal of the dark side: an amped-up gaze.
