PINK SPLASHLIGHT – WORN BY POPPY DELEVINGNE

The It Look: This edgy twist on the popular ombré haircolor effect plays up this season’s hottest color: pink. “Poppy is such a girl of the times, I wanted to create something ultra-modern and even a bit avant-garde,” says Anthony Turner. The placement of a striking horizontal band of pink in the mid-length of the hair is unexpected and eye-catching; yet, the technique of softly diffusing the color on the lower edges softens the effect, making it look effortlessly chic much like Poppy herself.
