Lorde Debuts Blond Hair While Defending Abortion Rights at Glastonbury Festival
Glastonbury Festival is a chance for celebrities and festival-goers to let loose, dance along to incredible live music, and embrace new fashion and beauty looks. This year, New Zealand singer Lorde was no exception. The 25-year-old might usually sport a head of brunette curls, but she chose to debut a new blond hair color as she performed on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday afternoon.
Opening her set with her single "The Path" from her most recent album, "Solar Power," Lorde wore a lilac corset that was tied around the thighs and layered over pink tights. Her's bleach-blond hair was styled into a middle part with subtle waves through the ends. The singer had previously showcased a blond hairstyle in her music video for "Mood Ring," where she channeled the lifestyle of wellness influencers, but fans were not expecting her to change up her look off-camera.
The "Royals" singer completed her fresh beauty transformation with dark eyebrows, black eyeliner, pink eyeshadow, and rosy cheeks, and there's no denying this pastel color scheme suits her.
Blond hair wasn't the only talking point of Lorde's performance, though. She brought two of her best pals on stage — Arlo Parks and Clairo — to perform her song "Stoned at the Nail Salon," giving the crowd a lot more than they had bargained for.
And, like Olivia Rodrigo, Lily Allen, and headliner Billie Eilish, Lorde took the opportunity to use her platform to denounce the devastating US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has taken away the rights of pregnant people to choose to have an abortion in the US. She said: "Wanna hear a secret, girls? Your bodies are destined to be objectified since before you were born. That horror is your birthright. But here's another secret. You possess ancient strength, ancient wisdom, wisdom that has propelled every woman that came before you. That wisdom is also your birthright. I ask you today, make accessing that wisdom your life's work. Because everything depends on it." Lorde then added, "F*ck the Supreme Court," as the crowd erupted into cheers.
