Hair changes come and go, but Angelina Jolie switching up her signature brunette locks was not something we saw coming when she debuted the new 'do a few weeks ago. For as far back as we can remember (read: the 90s), Miss Jolie has always had dark hair and hasn't deviated from said classic look. What's even more surprising is that she's gone even lighter than the shade we spotted her with previously. Clearly going blonde is a long process, even if you're a celeb.

During a casual trip to the White House (yep, that pretty famous building), Jolie debuted her new blonde hair transformation a few weeks ago. Unlike recent celebs that have taken to the blonde side – Ariana Grande and Kris Jenner to name just two – the Maleficent star has gone down a more natural route, as opposed to a more daring peroxide number.

As seen with her eldest son, Maddox (no, we can't get over how grown-up her now looks either), the actress donned an effortless-looking honey blonde shade, keeping a slightly darker brunette shade at the roots, so the whole thing seemed more au naturel. The whole look *screams* summer.

Flash forward to this latest image where Angie can be seen working on her Atelier Jolie capsule collection with fashion powerhouse, Chloé, it's clear those strands have seen a bit more bleach; looking lighter and brighter. Not to mention a bit of a chop, too?

Still, we love this low-maintenance blonde look on her.

Sadly, Jolie is yet to confirm who performed this magnificent blonde switch-up, but when we do find out, you'll be the first to know. As for now, this ombré blonde is going straight into our hair inspo folder for summer.

Angelina dyed her hair blonde, so we dyed our hair blonde...
