Natural Honey Blonde

Contrary to popular belief (and the deep-seated conviction of any Game of Thrones fan), Emilia Clarke is not a natural blonde. This gorgeous honey-blonde that compliments her skin tone perfectly, however, would have anyone thinking otherwise. The blend of sunkissed golden shades and oh-so subtle money-pieces is so seamless it’s hard to believe they were painted on.

Light Honey Blonde

Lana del Rey, on the other hand, is a natural blonde. (We know, we know, plot twists a many.) While the artist has gravitated toward deeper hues throughout her career, this light honey blonde is reminiscent of her early days.

Honey Money-Piece

Forgive us if we’re biased, but Rosie Huntington-Whiteley might be the reigning queen of honey hair. This warm, golden perfection with the most well-blended money-piece we’ve ever seen is the exact inspo pic that lives rent-free in our minds when we think of honey blonde.

Toasted Honey

Zendaya typically experiments with darker hues, but blonde is just as stunning on her. Her bouncy lob is the perfect blend of toasted yellow highlights and golden brown lowlights that meld together to create a soft honey shade.

Caramel Honey

Caramel and honey blonde may be two distinct color tones but Rihanna makes a serious case for merging the two. The richness of caramel can be too warm for some, but the added dimension of pale blonde and honey highlights here creates a cooler tone that’s giving major Y2K vibes.

Sandy Honey

Kim Kardashian is best known for her raven tresses, but she’s made several notable forays into the blonde spectrum. From white hot and ashy to golden blonde and caramel, the star serves hair inspo for days but we find this sandy-toned honey blonde especially flattering.

Deep Honey Blonde

Rita Ora’s spirals are out of this world. Seriously, could those textured ringlets be any more beautiful? We don’t think so, especially when they’re dyed this deep honey blonde. It’s basically the hair equivalent of golden hour.

Bombshell Honey

Natural golden girl, Gigi Hadid never disappoints when serving blonde looks. Here, she veers on the paler side of honey blonde, edging towards a buttery beige hue.

Honey Blonde With Shadowed Roots

Fact: Chloe Bailey’s hair is the exact color of spun gold. But it’s the shadowed roots that really ground the look.

Honey Blonde Melt

While some ombres may feel dated, Keke Palmer’s fluid gradient is anything but. The flow of honey blonde from deep roots to lighter ends is both fresh and polished.

Honey Blonde Highlights

If you’re hesitant to go fully blonde, do as J.Lo does and opt for honey-blonde highlights in a base of golden brown. The lightly tousled layers look relaxed yet elevated, showing off the dimension beautifully.

Honey Blonde Contrast

While J.Lo’s highlights seamlessly blend together, Selena Gomez’s honey-blonde additions are all about contrast. The sunny hue is painted in a chunkier fashion, creating a grungy juxtaposition against her chocolate brown base. We especially love how the brightness floods out toward the ends for a peekaboo effect through the bottom layers.

Cinnamon Honey

We’re used to seeing Ciara with dark brown or raven-black hair, which we love, but we’re always excited to see her rocking some honey-blonde strands. Just look at that shine!

Warm Honey Blend

Storm Reid’s honey crop showcases just how stunning the color can be on shorter lengths. The gradient from warm honey roots to paler ends is absolutely seamless.

Honey-Spiked Spirals

If you’re currently sporting dark hair but still want in on the “I just returned from a month-long vacation on the Italian coast” highlights, take pointers from Megan Thee Stallion. For this look, she brightened the ends of her spirals with spikes of honey blonde.

Honeyed Lowlights

Jasmine Sanders wears her honey-blonde hair in that distinct model-off-duty way that never seems to be possible when you try too hard. Consider this the ’90s way to do summer blonde—natural with a modern twist that looks stylish all year long.

Chestnut Honey

Chestnut honey has a signature auburn tint that is as rich as it is sweet. Beyoncé’s dimensional blend of chestnut brown, honey blonde, and a hint of auburn all meld together for a perfect honey blonde result.

Acacia Honey

Across the honey blonde spectrum, Shakira’s particular shade edges toward bronde territory highlighting just how wide this hair color range can be. We especially love how the hue complements the matte, lived-in texture here.

High-Shine Honey

Lauren Conrad’s honey blonde hair color is the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a real-life version of Rapunzel’s golden hair. Seriously, it sparkles in every photo. Aside from the color, the key to mastering this look is the high-shine finish.

Honey Glow

Jessica Alba’s hair verges on golden brown (a perfect example of bronde, which counts in our book). Her honey-blonde highlights glint in the light and catch our eye, acting as a delightfully subtle detail.

21of 22

Cool Honey

Olivia Palermo is another celebrity who is known for sporting varying shades of honey blonde hair. We like how her natural cool-toned chestnut shade is still seen at the roots and around her face, serving as a nice contrast to the light honey locks.

Autumnal Honey

Kate Bosworth’s honey-blonde shade reminds us of all things autumnal. In fact, it complements her skin tone so well, it’s even better than the first day of fall.
