The Beauty of Dishwater Blonde: Soft, Natural, and On-Trend

From sunflower to platinum, blonde hair offers endless options. For those seeking a natural, “lived-in” vibe, dishwater blonde is a great choice. Despite its unglamorous name, this shade is surprisingly beautiful. Its low-maintenance nature and versatility make it an effortlessly chic option that feels both classic and modern. According to celebrity stylist Chaz Dean, founder of WEN, dishwater blonde is a medium-dark blonde with cool undertones. Similar to dirty blonde, it lightens naturally toward the ends from UV exposure, adding depth and dimension.

FASHION FEATURES
Inside a Fashion-Forward Baker’s Go-To Vintage Shopping Spots

Sakura Smith, known to fans of her fermented bagels as Bagel Bunny, has a wardrobe filled with vintage finds from friends, family, and stores like Cobblestones in the East Village—her go-to spot for hats. “I don’t shop online much. It feels wrong. I like to try things on and make sure they fit,” she explains. Though currently in a style rut, she often draws inspiration from friends with great fashion sense.

Smith’s career also shapes her wardrobe. “I don’t dress for an office, so my approach to getting ready is different,” she says. She enjoys people-watching, especially older or younger folks. “They’re not concerned with rules, and I love that freedom.”

As for her nightstand essentials, Smith mentions a hydrating hand cream she picked up from the chaotic Don Quijote store in Kyoto, along with a Kartell storage piece that’s both practical and stylish.

Nicole Kidman, 57, Opens Up About Pausing ‘Babygirl’ Filming: ‘I Hate Doing This’

Nicole Kidman joked that filming her new erotic drama Babygirl became so intense she had to pause production. In the film, Kidman plays a powerful businesswoman entangled in a passionate affair with her younger intern, played by Harris Dickinson, 28, alongside Antonio Banderas as her husband. The 57-year-old Oscar winner admitted that the explicit sex scenes were challenging. “There were moments I thought, ‘I don’t want to orgasm anymore,’” she quipped. Even Dickinson confessed he sometimes needed space, asking the crew to “go away for a second.” The film’s steamy trailer promises plenty of on-screen chemistry, hinting at the intense emotional and physical toll the actors experienced.
