Paris Jackson stepped out during Paris Fashion Week, debuting a boldly gorgeous balayage. From her red bronde depth to wheat-blond overtones, it's the perfect hair inspiration for fall, because as days get shorter and temperatures drop, trends shift toward colors that offer a little warmth. Both these shades are a shift from Jackson's typical cool blond. "This fall, we are seeing a lot of people adding subtle pops of red and playing into warm fall colors," celebrity hairstylist Rikki Gajda told Elle in a 2026 interview.

Even better, the balayage adds a sense of dimension and incorporates darker shades without feeling like an overly dramatic transition. If you're interested in playing with a new hair color, this technique can help you incorporate the color in a gradual way. Balayage, which is different from babylights and highlights, introduces a lighter color toward the ends of the hair for an ombré effect, offering a sun-kissed effect that makes it look somewhat natural. The distinctive red and blond style is immediately a contender to be one of Jackson's most iconic hair looks of all time.

Paris Jackson has never been one to shy away from a statement hairstyle. In 2015, the musician was photographed with burgundy red hair; the following year, she chopped her hair short and rocked a tousled pixie cut. But Jackson has undergone a head-turning style transformation, going from an experimentation phase to finding a signature style (but that doesn't mean she's toned down her edge). Since 2018, she's embraced a consistent look of dramatically long tresses, supplemented by long extensions to complement her boho wardrobe.

In an Instagram video, she explained that after years of experimenting with her hair, she now prioritizes hair health. "I realized in the last few years that constantly bleaching and straightening it was not helping it get longer," she said. "So my day-to-day is just try and take care of the natural texture and let it do its thing." Jackson typically opts to let her wavy hair air dry; she applies protective, hydrating products and then gently scrunches her tresses to emphasize her waves. You can recreate the routine with a product like CHI Keratin Mist Strengthening Hair Spray and a touch of hair oil, like Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil.
