There’s just something inexplicably gorgeous about Black women in blonde hair….or any other hair color, to be honest. However, the juxtaposition of light hair against beautiful brown skin is a combination that we never grow tired of seeing.

Case in point: K. Michelle, who shaved her head earlier this summer, just took her makeover up a notch by dying it platinum. As expected, she looks flawless and now, we’re reminded of other A-list beauties who have also slayed in a similar ‘do.
