When it comes to bright, dazzling shades of blonde, platinum is the first thing that comes to mind. This is such a coveted hue for hair, and with good reason. It reminds us of famous Old Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and Jean Harlow, and also modern celebs like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

While a solid platinum hair color looks stunning, even a few highlights on a darker base can be just as chic. They add a touch of brightness to brown or black hair as well as depth and dimension to other shades of blonde. For an even more unique look, you can mix platinum with other unusual hair colors like lilac.

Versatile and beautiful, platinum blonde provides a magnificent finishing touch to any hairstyle. Keep scrolling for some celeb-approved ideas.
