All there is to know about baby blonde and its most beautiful muses
Made famous by Grace Kelly, this subtle and sophisticated colour became the signature look of this American actress and princess of Monaco. Both beautiful and talented, she starred in several Alfred Hitchcock films which gave her baby blonde shade the label of "Hitchcockian blond". Subsequently, it became the shade of blonde worn by most actresses put on the big screen by the famous "master of suspense". And with good reason: like platinum blonde, baby blond catches the light particularly well on the big screen and looks especially fetching in black and white films. Hitchcock even said of Grace Kelly that she was "the contradiction between apparent coldness and extreme sensuality" and that is exactly what baby blonde is about.
