Venus Williams is living life to the fullest as a blonde. Williams, 44, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about embracing her new honey blonde hair while gushing about her partnership with Schwarzkopf Professional for their Up Your Game campaign. “I just didn’t think I could do it,” she told Us , saying she was unsure if she could pull off the bright color with her “red undertones.
” “As soon as I saw it, I was thrilled,” she excitedly shared. “And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, it looks just like Serena.’” Venus, who is Serena Williams ’ older sister, laughed to Us about how similar the pair looked when she rocked the same hair color.
To create Venus’ makeover, celebrity hairstylist Brendnetta Ashley used Schwarzkopf’s Blondme lightener and Igora Vibrance . “Styling the blonde glamorous look, we used OSiS+ Elastic Light Hold Hairspray ,” Ashley told Us , noting she worked her magic in Venus’ hair to style chic curls. Through her partnership with Schwarzkopf Professional, Venus said she “discovered all the possibilities that you could push boundaries with hair even further.
” “I’m a person who doesn’t have boundaries, so I can’t believe I didn’t try that before,” she added. Venus’ hair transformation marks the first time she’s experimented with golden locks. “We both wanted to go with a look that she had never done before,” Ashley said.
