Why Do Blonde Transformations and hair style Seem To Change Someone’s Entire Attractiveness?

No. Blonde equals less common and younger.

An old blonde will never be younger than a young brunette. Your assertion makes no sense.

It’s this. I grew up in Eastern Europe, and being a natural blonde was being your average Jane. It’s the dark haired girls that got all the attention.

Depends on the country. Not true in Croatia.

A lot of it depends on the colors they're wearing and their makeup. If someone has typically been a blonde (Cameron Diaz, Margot Robbie, Emma Roberts from your examples), they don't know how to do their makeup to match the darker hair.

I'd also argue that some go far too dark; if they went a darker blonde/light brown, it would look more natural.

Agreed. And you also associate blondeness with youth. The people in the pics who were probably blonde as children (the Olsen twin, Margot Robbie, Charlize, Cameron Diaz) look much better than those who probably were not (Jessica Alba, Jennifer Silver Linings Actress)

I was blonde as a child. I went blonde once without telling my husband and he went nuts. He insisted I go back to the salon and back to being a brunette.

I later divorced him for being a controlling a**. The first thing I did was go blonde. It really was a transformation. I don't know if it was my hair color or my new found freedom but I've never gone back.

I actually love the contrast of dark hair and really blue eyes- I think Cameron Diaz (and many of these women here) actually look better brunette, maybe with the exception of Margot Robbie.

As I get older I go lighter because the grey shows way too quickly with my natural color (very dark almost black). Whenever I happen to go back to my natural color though I love it so much, it looks so much prettier on me, I just have a grey halo a week later.

I think it's extremely funny that you think any of these women are doing their own makeup for these red carpet events where they were photographed, as opposed to having it done by a professional makeup artist who presumably does know how to do makeup to suit their hair. And in fact you can see that the makeup artists used the occasion of darker hair to do stronger brows, darker lips, etc. All of which would look totally overpowering on a blonde but work on a brunette. This is also a major reason actresses switch up their hair for events like this, because it shows directors range with their looks and can help them get roles that might initially seem counter to the looks they are best known for.

Actresses like Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts, etc. look MUCH better as brunettes - because that’s their actual hair color. Nature doesn’t lie.

I think it matters if the actress was *ever* a blonde. Even in childhood. People who were blonde as young children and they darkened into being a brunette can go back to being blonde. If someone was never blonde, their coloring isn't right.

There are many women who wouldn't look good as blondes. I'm thinking of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Sofia Vergara. I don't follow her every move but Kim Kardashian did not look good as a blonde.

Totally agree, with very few exceptions.

Ariana Grande looks terrible blonde, exhibit A.

Yes, if a person was never blonde to begin with, their skin tone isn’t right to become blonde. I found out the hard way. My skin, eyes - everything - looks so much better as a brunette, which I naturally am. I looked sick and wan as a blonde.
