With its vibrant neon feel and the fact that it matched Billie’s outfit, this look was dubbed “brilliant,” by her loyal followers all over Instagram. And we can certainly understand why. Gaining a hefty amount of attention, Eilish certainly made an impression.
Nicki Minaj
Throughout history, the color purple was used to symbolize royalty. That was mainly due to the fact that it was so uncommon and rare. So, was Nicki Minaj hinting to us that she considers herself 'rap royalty' when she rocked this look? We'll never know, but consider us intrigued.
A purple ombre is something very courageous to do, and if done well, it can look absolutely amazing. Nicki, being the daring rap star that she is, wasn't afraid to take a shot at it. Having dyed her hair a few shades of purple, the Anaconda singer certainly turned heads.
Winnie Harlow
The platinum hair-do has been attempted by many, but Winnie Harlow went above and beyond that when she added a ray of purple to the mix. The near-silver fading into the violet strokes looked like silk adorning her head. Some fans even commented on how her locks almost look futuristic.
Being a fashion model, Winnie isn't afraid of trying new styles. So when it comes to her hair, there's no exception. Having surprised her fans with the bold move of cutting and dying her locks, the general consensus was clear: Her followers couldn't get enough of it!

Is it just us, or is the blue dress pairing beautifully with her daring hair colors? And her darker ombre towards the top of her head makes it even better. Looking confident and seemingly giving out that vibe, Williams certainly knows how to enter a room.
