Jaden Smith just took his buzz-worthy cut to the next level. And, no surprise, it s fire. After elevating the bleached shearing to avant garde new heights at this year s Met Gala (see his handful of freshly-snipped dreadlocks) the actor traded 2017 s well-loved platinum hue--a trend he very well helped spark--for a shade that s sure to spark a similar revolution.

The actor who will next be seen in Life in a Year—in which he stars alongside fellow blanched devotee Cara Delevingne—stepped out in Soho over the weekend rocking a blood red buzz, an unexpected antidote to the washes of pastel and peroxide that have colored the scene as of late. An updated take on the vivid midsummer makeover is a notion also embraced by others in Hollywood, like Alicia Keys, who took to Instagram on Saturday to debut a mane of neon braids that augmented her all-natural, fresh-faced sensibilities to ultra funky effect. And don t forget the Blonde singer Frank Ocean, whose debut of bubble-gum pink hair last month has already seemed to turn a fiery shade of orange. Ready to trade the year s lack of color for a bit of saturation? It seems you re in not good--but great--company.
