Isabel Lucas goes yellow blonde – pretty or generic?

fp_7315850_lucasisabel_coff
You may not be familiar with Isabel Lucas. She’s a 26 year-old Australian actress and model with a distinctive boho style. I first heard about her when she was dating Adrien Grenier then Shia Labeouf and you see photos of her at events occasionally. She usually looks radiantly pretty with barely any makeup and is known for wearing some pretty out there getups. She’s a vegetarian, she’s committed to environmental causes (although here she is throwing out a cup – scandal!) and she’s a 60s throwback. When she had chestnut brown hair it just seemed to suit her and she really looked the part.

Now she’s gone blonde for whatever reason. I googled her and she used to be a blonde when she was younger, and she was blonde briefly in 2009, but this look is all wrong for her now.

Here she is at Coachella just a month ago with her boyfriend Angus Stone. He’s an Australian folk singer and together they’re a hippie power couple, if that’s not a contradiction. I wonder if they broke up and that’s why she changed up her hair, or maybe it’s for a role. (Not that she acts in much, no offense.) She would have done better with some highlights rather than an all over yellow blonde. Hopefully she’ll fix it soon.

Here she is at the Costume Institute Gala May 2. I wouldn’t have even recognized her!

Out in December, 2010 looking so pretty.

And in February with blonde highlights. They’re still kind of cheap looking but they’re better than her hair now.

    I have no idea who this girl is but she is so much more attractive as a brunette! She looks like an entirely different person.

  2. LL says:

    The blonde photos make her look like a young Chelsea Handler. Not sure that’s a compliment…

  3. fancyamazon says:

    love the dress, hate the hair.

  4. Lisa Turtle says:

    I think she is very pretty.

  5. Embee says:

    Back to brunette and a good hot oil treatment!

  6. Pitita says:

    She just spoiled her hair and her beauty.

  7. Ruby Red Lips says:

    I remember watching her in Home and Away, she was blonde then and looked gorgeous (she also carried a few more pounds back then)

    Agree CB she’s so much prettier as a brunette, she looks really beautiful in those shots

  8. Praise St. Angie! says:

    LL…wow…that’s what I thought about the header pic…a younger, prettier Handler!

    she def looks better as a brunette…light brown would suit her best. gorgeous eyes…she could rock a really short cut and look great.

  9. mln76 says:

    @LL I know she’s like a much prettier,younger, and sweeter( I am only assuming) version of Handler. She definitely looks better as a brunette.

  10. thinkaboutit says:

    Funny for a “hippie” to work the extensions…but you can definitely tell she wore them as a brunette. She has about 75% more brunette hair than yellow straw hair.

  11. Quest says:

    Don’t really know who she is but she looks better as a brunette.

    I hope she used an environmentally friendly dye products for the changes in hair color (hmmm)

  12. Isabel says:

    Oh no, she needs to lose the blonde. It’s no good.

  13. gee says:

    She’s so pretty, but her clothes and demeanor piss me off. It’s not really justified hate, I just don’t like her.

  14. the original bellaluna says:

    Ahh, look: Southern fried hair!

  15. S says:

    I think she is so, so beautiful that it almost hurts. Really, if I could look like anyone in the world…

    Also, last I heard, she & Angus are still together. I hope they never split! They are lovely together. Sigh. Some people have all the luck.

  16. TeeTee says:

    she was very pretty as a brunette, as a blonde–she looks washed out and her hair looks like rats have been sucking on the ends.

  17. Hazel says:

    She tries too hard, tbh.

  18. Samigirl says:

    She looks like Lilo’s long lost sister as a blonde. The brunette version is much prettier 🙂

  19. carrie says:

    who?

  20. she’s terrible head to toe

  21. original kate says:

    as a brunette she’s pretty, but somehow as a blonde she looks like chelsea handler.

  22. B says:

    I thought she looked stunning regardless, until I saw the pic of her as a brunette-I definitely agree that it suits her more. Still gorgeous either way, though.

  23. deej says:

    she looks very hungry 🙁

  24. sally says:

    She needs to get rid of whoever is doing her hair… She could probably pull off a darker blonde, but this color is so fake looking.

  25. kate says:

    dead eyes

    she was the evil robot in one of the transformers

  26. Camille says:

    I think Isabel is so beautiful but that blonde hair is ghastly!

    I used to watch her on Home and Away (an Aussie soap, that I no longer watch lol).

  27. Missy says:

    Can we start some sort of fundraiser? Because apparently even an actress in this economy cannot afford a comb.

  28. anonymoose says:

    generic and cheap as a blonde.

  29. Ruby says:

    As an Aussie I had the privilege to see her fine acting skills on a little soapy called Home & Away!?!?!?! Her character was this mysterious beach hippie chick. Exciting and Oscar winning stuff lol. Honestly I can’t judge any actor on a soap opera especially one that is based on a beach where it’s summer all the time (a beach called “Summer Bay” mind you). Based on the NSW central coast- no it’s not summer all the time!

  30. fallen says:

    Wow she looks way better as a brunette.

  31. kasper says:

    Now she looks like Tiger Woods’ next wife — cha-ching!!!!!

  32. telesma says:

    Her hair looks totally overprocessed. The look is generic low rent “California girl”, too much time on the beach, too much Sunglitz, too much pot, kind of trashy.

  33. jemshoes says:

    Isabel’s definitely got the Hippie-Princess look nailed to perfection! I still prefer Isabel’s look to Melissa George’s try-hard glamour and/or Sophie Monk’s. Like Isla Fisher, she looks better to me as a redhead.

  34. sammib says:

    Oh honey. No.

  35. MJ says:

    She looks a bit like Ali McGraw with brown hair. Can’t say the same for the blonde.

    “Hippie power couple” isn’t an oxymoron – think John & Yoko (not that these two are even close)!

  36. Emily says:

    I had the biggest crush on her back when she was on Home and Away. Back then she had the two-tone hair thing, light browns roots, and then gradually getting blonder. That really worked on her, this all over blonde not so much.

  37. thegorilla says:

    i don’t know who this is, but that pic i thought it was dina lohan no joke
