When Lizzo sang “If I’m shining, everybody gonna shine,” in her 2019 double platinum single “Juice”, we should’ve heeded her warning. Now, the three-time Grammy Award winner has embodied her lyrics by quite literally shining, courtesy of her glow-in-the-dark hair.
When it comes to the 35-year-old’s beauty choices, Lizzo is as bold and experimental as she is in her sartorial expression, however, her high-octane chartreuse tresses could be her most innovative yet. And not, it’s not just because her hair is electric coloured.
With Lizzo currently on hiatus during the months-long run of her Special tour, the multi-hyphenated musician used the opportunity to flex her creativity with an avant-garde two-toned look.
For the last stop on the European leg of her tour, Lizzo unveiled the style on stage in Amsterdam, but it was on social media where the look really shone.
Taking to Instagram, Lizzo debuted her cascading neon green locks, a look she styled in an Aaliyah-esque half-up, half-down look with intricate twists and micro baby braids.
The Yitty CEO dubbed the hairstyle “Green Glamour” in her Instagram post, crediting her go-to hair stylist, Shelbeniece Swain, for the style.
However, the pièce de résistance came when Lizzo turned off the lights, revealing a neon glow.
We could only imagine the extra power Jane Fonda would’ve had in her workout videos if she had a bouffant version of this look in the 80s.
Though Lizzo has set the bar high for all future celebrity hairstyles, she’s not the only A-lister to dip their toes, or should we say tresses in Lizzo’s case, into the fluorescent pond.
Earlier in the year Hailey Bieber opted for a neon green manicure for Coachella weekend, departing from her usual glazed look for a literal glow-in-the-dark style.
With these lurid looks occurring back-to-back, perhaps neon will become the latest hue to note. Just don’t forget to blame Lizzo or Bieber when you notice fluorescence saturating the streets.
