Oh . . . okay sorry I didn’t know. It’s just that her roots always look darker but I guess she could just be a darker blond.

Very few natural blonde’s hair remains blonde into adulthood it almost always turns into a mousey brownish color. It doesn’t make them any less a “natural” blonde” though. Her hair might not be as blonde as it was when she was young but she still is a natural blonde.

wow, that was racist. Obviously, if you think she’s pretty than white girls can be pretty because she is white.

She was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for a magazine… I think is was for Marie Claire or Harpers Bazzarr. She really pretty and she does not look like just any blond.

She’s not a natural blond. Look at pictures from her early modeling career.

I’ve seen pictures of her as a child and she is a natural blonde. Her hair was probably dyed dark early in her career to give her an “edgy” look at the time.

Most white Afrikaners have dutch ancestry , so .
