With the season’s sunniest days upon us, there’s no time like the present to put forth your very best blonde. Whether you’re sold on a cool platinum overhaul or would rather a low-maintenance, beachy balayage situation, here are the celeb-approved shades to show your colorist ASAP.

Sienna Miller's Rooty Baby Blonde

Sienna's hair represents the "best of both worlds"—bright, baby blonde color punctuated by (intentional) dark roots allows more flexibility with the frequency of your dye job. Impactful color and a lower-maintenance routine? Check and check.
