We haven't heard much new music from Lily Allen lately, but rest assured she's still in the news--and superficial, sad as these times are, a simple change of hair color does the trick!

Now, we here at Product Fiend have certainly discussed skin tone and hair shade experimentation (see Kate Moss). While some of us mere mortals can't always pull off a flattering blonde, it seems that it's the god given right of a pop star to bounce back and forth between brunette, blonde, red and every other shade under the sun. Ah, but not all pop stars' (skin at least) are created equal.

For example, remember when Amy Winehouse had her own blonde ambition? It's not that she didn't look kinda cute for the day, but some naturally born brunettes like her just look more striking being brunette (Angelina, Courtney Cox, Catherine Zeta-Jones).

As much as I see Lily fitting into the latter category, something about this new color seems to really brighten her skin up. (Although, I think she'd look better if she would've left her brows dark. Orangey-blonde brows, always a party foul...) What do you think?
