Things that need to be winterised once Halloween is over: wardrobes, windows… and now, apparently, blonde hair, too. Famous blonde Nicola Coughlan has just switched things up with a trending cowboy beige colour, which she showed off as she attended a screening of the forthcoming Nathan Fielder documentary, . (Elizabeth Holmes’s hair in the film might also coincidentally fall into the cowboy beige category, but perhaps that’s less aspirational.)

Ditching her signature tone-on-tone sugar spun hair, the actor’s new look is defined by a darkened, medium brown base, lifted with burnished gold hues through the mid-lengths and ends. The best news about the dimensional shade, in addition to it being winter-ready? Cowboy beige’s darker base means less noticeable regrowth, and thus allows for more time between salon appointments.

This winter, in celeb world, we are seeing team glossy mocha go up against the winter blonde bunch – Coughlan’s new colour is a compelling pro-blonde rebuttal to Lily James’s equally aspirational darker look. And the experts have weighed in, with Hershesons colourist Hannah G previously telling British that colour melted blondes will be everywhere in 2027. “Forget flat, one dimensional blonde,” she said, adding that next year will be all about “colours like whipped vanilla, soft champagne, buttery beige and delicate pearl tones, seamlessly melted together to create a blonde that feels entirely bespoke”.
