Thanks to Ryan Murphy’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” limited series on Disney+, The rise of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s luxurious blonde locks have returned.

Before “Old Money Blonde” was a trending phrase of Tiktok and Pinterest, Carolyn embodied the aesthetic with her glossy, high-shine color and 90s New York polish to match. The OG Carrie Bradshaw, here’s how you can transition into this sleek look for fall and winter.

Butter Yellow The Bessette Way

The butter yellow trend is still going strong and now you can take it up a notch! This chic color isn’t limited to clothing and accessories, you can also incorporate butter yellow into your personal style with your hair color.

Bessette Blonde is a glossy, honeyed blonde with a distinctly 90s feel. It can feature champagne and buttery gold tones for a warmer touch than cool-toned, almost white blondes.

It is a bright blonde, but never stark.

Bessette’s hair color features these buttery gold undertones which adds dimension and intentional warmth.

Is Bessette Blonde right for you?

To find the perfect match for you, the key is balance.

On fair skin, a softer champagne tone can lift without washing you out.

On olive or deeper complexions, richer honey tones add depth.

What matters most is the condition: this shade really relies on shine!
