K-pop idol IU just debuted her lightest hair color yet, and there’s a twist! Her new light blonde hair features a subtle pink hue you might just miss at first glance.
On January 11, the South Korean singer and actor shared the new look on Instagram with a mirror selfie captured with an iPhone in a customized Casetfiy case. In the main pic, IU is seen wearing black jeans and a black sweater, juxtaposing her new light hair. Cut in a shaggy layered bob, her pink-blonde hair was slicked down into a casual, chic, wet-look style.
In the following photos, IU was pictured with an assortment of Gucci accessories, including a customized weekend bag, coat, and beanie. She wore the black winter hat, which read Gucci in bold varsity letters across the forehead, with her bangs swept back, showing us the new hue in a different style. She even opted for a balaclava with fuzzy heart-shaped detailing in a later pic, proving that this cut and color is super versatile.

It seems IU took these photos in the airport while en route to Milan for Men’s Fashion Week, per The Seoul Story. She’s attending as a long-time global brand ambassador for Gucci, a title that was announced on May 30, 2022, when she wore the brand at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her film Broker. So, it only makes sense that she’s decked out in the label on her way to the fashion capital.
While this isn’t the first time IU has dyed her hair throughout her career of almost 16 years, the “Blueming” singer has yet to go this light. Previous shades she sported included auburn, chestnut brown, and dark blue. Though we’re not sure what the occasion is for the brand-new look, this pink-tinted platinum blonde marks a new era for IU regardless, and we’re excited to see what’s in store!
