This year, we all watched as Beyoncé helped make silver one of the most worn colors of 2023. Her Renaissance Tour inspired us all to adorn our bodies with chrome, sequins, metallics, and crystals. Bey even kicked off the tour in glittering gemstone eye makeup, added a secret message to her multi-inch long chrome nails, and wore numerous silver outfits across the stops of her world-renowned tour. Now, she is topping all of that with brand-new hair in honor of the premier of her documentary about the tour.
Alongside Ballroom legends, stars like Lori Harvey and Halle Bailey, LGBTQ+ icons, and family and friends, Beyoncé took to the red carpet for Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé to show off her new icy silver blonde hair.

Of course, the singer wore an all-silver ensemble to the chromatic carpet—a tight-fitting chainmail Versace dress with matching latex opera gloves and dangling diamond earrings, to be exact. But, no matter how stunning the garment was, we couldn’t take our eyes off of the hair change.
Traveling below her waist, her hair was iced out from root to end. Each of her strands was the exact same shade, with no noticeable highlights or lowlights layered throughout. A little more gray than a Targaryen blonde, but definitely too white to be platinum, it was the perfect silverish hue to honor her metallic era and commemorate the milestone of her documentary. Might we call this shade Renaissance blonde?

Although Queen B has always played with various shades of the bright hair color—most recently trying out chantilly blonde highlights, sun-washed blonde, money piece highlights, and Crème Brûlée Blonde—she usually sticks to her signature golden yellow variations of blonde. In fact, we couldn’t find any proof her ever wearing a blonde this white, except for a photoshoot playing homage to Marilyn Monroe.
Beyoncé going brighter also coordinates with a handful of celebrities switching to blonde hair over the past couple of weeks. Keke Palmer went honey blonde, Rihanna took over our timelines with an icy honey blonde fusion, and Kim Kardashian switched her signature black to a beige blonde. However, if we are picking favorites, B might be at the top of the list.
She finished off the red carpet look with fittingly shiny makeup. On top of a luminous base, her eyes were dusted in silver and gold glitter—starting at her inner corner with a light silver similar to her hair that slowly transitioned into a light-toned gold taking over the center of her lid. The shimmer sat on top of dark fluttering lashes and a small black wing, finished off with a peachy nude lip color.
