Patrick Dempsey [2] as a blond [3] may just snag him that McSteamy title after all. The internet collectively lost its mind over the weekend when Dempsey, who is already a fixture on many "hottest man alive" lists, debuted platinum-blond hair [4] while accepting a Disney Legends Award at the D23 Expo on Sept. 9. If you've yet to see Dempsey's latest look, buckle up — you may feel a bit parched after seeing this.

The star, a longtime racing fan, reportedly underwent the transformation for the upcoming movie "Ferrari," in which he plays race-car driver Piero Taruffi. While the icy-white hair color was new, it was accentuated by his signature coiffed style that added a bit of texture to his hair.

Whether he knew it or not, Dempsey has landed right in the middle of an ongoing hair trend [5]: Pamela Anderson blond. "This bright blond is achieved with lots of highlights and is left 'untoned' to give a slightly raw, bleached look," Tom Smith [6], celebrity hairstylist and international color creative director for Evo Hair [7], previously told POPSUGAR. Other celebrities like Ciara [8], Kim Kardashian [9], and Megan Thee Stallion have been seen in the hair color, and it doesn't look like the trend is going anywhere anytime soon. If you're hoping to get a similar look, do note that the color is best with the help of a professional at a salon.
