The model/actress/singer took to the red carpet with her super short, pixie cut dyed a dreamy cotton candy shade. The 22-year-old paired her new rosy ‘do with a nude mini-dress by Atelier Versace, and a pair of sparkling sky-high stilettos from Stuart Weitzman, for a space-age badass result.

Since shaving her head earlier this year for a film role, the model has been experimenting with epic hairstyles that demonstrate the versatility of short hair.

Cara has rocked everything from a silver spray-painted scalp at this year’s Met Gala, to futuristic waves at the LA premiere of Valerian.

The Brit supermodel’s candy coloured 'do may be out favourite look yet and if you’re wanting to give your tresses a colour transformation, this soft hue is the perfect colour to turn to.

Candy-coloured hair is edgy, feminine, flatters most skin tones and can easily be turned into another hair shade if you decide that it’s not for you.

Opting for a professional when it comes to colouring your hair is recommended, and will ensure your hue maintains its vibrance. Salons also have access to treatments and techniques that can help prevent breakage.

"Most salons use Olaplex, which is an amazing product which protects the integrity of the hair, says salon director Barney Martin."allows you to go from one end of the colour spectrum to the other – with minimum damage."

It’s important to remember that hair-colouring can often leave your strands damaged regardless of whether you opt for an in-salon experience or DIY treatment.

"Leave-in conditioners and treatments are an effective and easy way of repairing over-coloured hair at home," hair-stylist Michele McQuillan told 9Style. "Invest in a good hair mask for beautiful colour."
