While transitioning to a darker hair colour during the winter months is far from a new beauty concept, there's something entirely fresh about Sydney Sweeney's latest shade. The actress debuted a high-shine gloss and deeper golden hue over the weekend, a tone which go-to celebrity hairstylist Jacob Schwartz has coined as 'dark suede blonde.'

The rich taupe shade can be characterised by it's neutral undertone and soft tan depth. We may have seen Sweeney adorned with deeper brunette and even copper tones in the past, but there's no denying that this suede colour is her darkest blonde yet. If you're looking to update your bright blonde to a maintenance shade that will endure the length of party season effortlessly, this is the sophisticated tint we'd recommend. No need to rush to the salon for a root touch-up come January.

Her fresh colour isn't the only new characteristic of Sweeney's winter hair update. The actress now boasts a full head of hair extensions, which flow far past her shoulders and disguise her coveted 'old money' bob style. Blending undetectably into her natural lengths, the faux tresses are just one example of how to elevate your signature hair for the upcoming festive period.

Dark blonde in all its variations has had somewhat of a moment this year. From Taylor Swift's trademark hue making a convincing case for returning to your natural colour at the Eras Tour, to Ariana Grande's buttery golden colour sparking vast debate on personal colour palettes at the Wicked press tour, it seems deep neutral tones have overtaken the classic bright platinum and butter blondes as this season's most wanted sunkissed colour.
