Serena Williams turned heads at a pre-Olympics event in Paris with a dramatic new look—platinum blonde hair styled in glamorous waves. The tennis legend unveiled her fresh color at the Prelude to the Olympics party held at the Fondation Louis Vuitton ahead of the Summer Games.
Williams’ waist-length hairstyle featured soft, mermaid-like waves and a deep side part reminiscent of Old Hollywood style. The look brought both elegance and drama, making a bold statement on the red carpet.
Hair expert Renée Valerie, Education Director at R+COLOR, praised the transformation. “Serena’s new dimensional French Vanilla blonde shows how adding depth at the roots brings a chic and modern twist to platinum hair,” she said. “This tone enhances her features while keeping the look balanced and refined.”
Known for experimenting with her hair, Williams previously wore a honey ombré with dark brown roots, and her natural hair is a rich black. The sudden shift to a bright blonde offers a fresh contrast and adds to her evolving style.
Her sleek, neutral outfit paired with shimmering purple eyeshadow completed the striking ensemble. For those inspired by the eye makeup, products like Covergirl’s Eye Shadow Sticks can help achieve a similar effect.
Williams’ latest look proves she’s not just a sports icon—she’s also a beauty trendsetter unafraid to try something new.
