Queen Latifah

Some sisters can rock both blonde and brown locks. These A-list stars took a break from their natural colors to explore blonde ambitions and we are rooting for them.

The Queen has been on the scene ever since she declared “Ladies First.” The actress, singer and cover girl realized her blonde ambitions early on in her career.

Kimora Lee Simmons might be known for her long, fabulous dark locks but in 2005 she went blonde for the Vibe Awards.

Eve

Eve dubbed herself the “Blonde Bombshell” when she made her debut in 2000 and the “pit bull in a skirt” is still holding strong to that title.

Kim Fields

From cutie Tootie to pretentious Regine, we prefer Kim Fields as a blonde beauty. The locks give her golden strands a distinct charm and appeal.

Let’s face it: Faith Evans’s changing hair color works well with her skin tone. Whether chocolate, red or blonde, Faith always looks vibrant.

Blonde suits Keyshia’s honey-brown skin tone and personality well, and we absolutely adore her ever-changing hair.

Mary J. Blige

Mary J. Blige has been sporting the blonde hair since she was looking for “Real Love” in 1992. The songbird gets more platinum as her superstar status elevates to new heights.

Amerie

The “1 Thing” that this Grammy-nominated singer has going for her besides her good looks and killer vocals is her ability to stay style-ready with an ever-changing top-notch mane.
