It's that time of year when the days get shorter, the temperatures get cooler, and our wardrobe gets darker. And although the status quo preaches that we should trade in our blonde highlights for more maintainable hues of chestnut, chocolate and caramel, blonde hair colors like gold, honey and ice are having a moment.

All year long we've ogled and drooled as some of our favorite It girls have taken a trip to the blonde side. Whether they've simply brightened up their already flaxen hue (a la T-Swift), undergone a total blonde hair transformation (we're looking at you, Kylie), or maintained the same stunning platinum shade they've made iconic (hey, Gwen), the stars haven't shied away from the brighter and lighter, and frankly, we're obsessed.

However, it's a lot easier to make a drastic change when you're in the safe (and dare we say, magical) hands of an A-list team of colorists and stylists guaranteed to nail your blonde color while maintaining the hair's integrity. Thus, since most of us don't have a Hollywood hair god on speed dial, even the tiniest tweak to our go-to look can cause waves of anxiety that instantly weaken our perpetual temptation to see if blondes really do have more fun. Our solution? Finding that just-right shade of blonde (whether you're dipping your toe in or taking the full-on plunge) to show your colorist as inspiration. From platinum to honey, we've taken a cue from our ever-accumulating collection of screen shots to bring you the most covetable blonde hair ideas in all of the land. Hair flips, ahead!

In our humble opinion, Margot Robbie can do no wrong. And though she's equally stunning as a brunette, we have a soft spot for her trademark blonde locks -- especially this grown-out look that feels both romantic and fresh.

As Hollywood's ultimate cool girl, it would make sense that J-Law's shade of blonde hair would match her personality, no? This winter-white shade with cool and ice-y undertones gives us anything but the cold shoulder.

When it comes to platinum, no one does it better than Gwen Stefani. And though she does change it up from time to time (usually there's a streak of black or pink involved), her perennial shade of platinum is nothing less than pitch-perfect.

With legs for miles, brows to kill, and hair for days, Gigi Hadid epitomizes the term "bombshell." But when she traded in her light golden locks for a reddish shade of bronde? Slow. Clap.
