Céline Dion's New Honey Blond Lob Is The Perfect Color & Length For Older Women

Whoever said women in their 50s can't have fun with their hair clearly hasn't seen Celine Dion lately. Just in time for fall, the 58 year old music legend swapped out her usual toffee-toned color for a warmer shade of honey blond, cut into a lob that hit just at the collarbone. Though Dion has been known to experiment with many different hair colors and styles over the years, this look is definitely one for the books. It's also great salon inspo for older women who want to try something new this season.

A lob is perfect if you're dipping your toe into short hair. That's because this length is extremely versatile. It's not too short to pull back, but you still great a major refresh to your look. This cut is also subtly sexy. "This is a good transition from kind of longer, below-the-shoulders to right at the shoulders, keeping it kind of fresh," hairstylist Eric Marshall Wright, owner of the Nashville-based Eric Marshall Salon, exclusively tells Women.com. "For a woman who wants to show off her décolleté, I think this is a great option as well, especially if they are small-framed like Celine."

What's more, a honey hue can be perfect for blending incoming gray hairs without committing to super blond shade. "If you're naturally blonde and you're starting to go gray, this could be a great option so you're not too light, especially going into fall," hairstylist Eric Marshall Wright, owner of the Nashville-based Eric Marshall Salon, tells Women.com exclusively. "Honey blonde is kind of a mix of an ash and a gold."

If you want a flirty long bob like Celine Dion's, start by asking your stylist for longer layers. Specify that you want the lob to end at your collarbone, since that's key for this bob haircut that's so flattering on older women. Also, be sure to request soft, airy ends. "I'm seeing a lot of layers and movement on her ends," hairstylist Eric Marshall Wright, owner of the Nashville-based Eric Marshall Salon, exclusively tells Women.com, who advises getting a trim at least every six weeks to maintain the length.

The color will require a touch more precision to recreate. It will be easiest if you have some natural grays present at your hairline, like Dion does. "I think you should do a base color if you're looking for this exact replica, and some highlights to break that up," says Wright. "I also think that you definitely need to keep your hair glossed so it doesn't look brassy." For added sophistication, combine this hair look with Dion's go-to manicure, which is a simple and chic style anyone can pull off.
