Whether it's churning out catchy pop bangers, bringing the house down with live performances, or being at the top of her fashion game, Dua Lipa never misses a beat. When it comes to trying out different hair and makeup looks, we think we can all agree at this point that Lipa has got new rules, and she counts 'em. In fact, the singer-songwriter has been serving us nonstop hairstyle inspiration since the beginning of her career back in 2016. From "Cruella" hair color to bubblegum-pink, Lipa has never shied away from changing up her look — and she's given us an abundance of daring beauty looks to emulate as a result.

Still, because she has mesmerized so many with her seamless transition between various hair colors throughout the years, it's natural to wonder what Lipa's natural hair color really is. Luckily, we have the answer: in 2019, Lipa posted a picture of her younger self on Instagram, showing her dark-brown hair in adorable multiple little pigtails. Over the years, Lipa has shared multiple sneak peeks when sharing throwbacks of her childhood, with pictures of her from when she was a kid showing that she has naturally dark-brown hair.

When Lipa first arrived into the public eye before her smash debut, Dua Lipa, she wore her natural hair color. Then, in 2018, Lipa cut her formerly longer hair in a lob. By the end of 2019, the singer unveiled a light-blond hue as she entered the Future Nostalgia rollout. She's since played around with a mix of hair colors – bleach blond, red, chocolate-brown, and everything in between. Then, most recently, Lipa went a shade darker than her natural brunette hair when she dyed her hair jet-black.
