Chappell Roan swapped her signature curls for a pin-straight, vivid crimson red style with chunky strawberry-blonde highlights, created by hairstylist Virginie Pineda, at the National PrEP Day gathering at Los Angeles's The Abbey, according to Allure. The look also featured choppy baby bangs cut about an inch above her brows.

Roan attended alongside fellow musicians Christina Aguilera and Tinashe, marking her first time DJing at an event; she wrote on Instagram that she "did literally nothing but vibe and b cute." Makeup artist Dee completed the look with cerulean blue, daffodil yellow and orchid pink eyeshadow, plus a bright pink blush applied high on the cheekbones and buffed toward the temples.

The chunky-highlight technique echoes an early-to-mid-2000s hair trend, and Allure noted other stars, including Jennifer Lopez and Gabrielle Union, have also experimented with higher-contrast color this year.
