Future Is Blond Now—And We’re Kinda Into It? Let’s Discuss.

the 2025 Met Gala, the red carpet delivered its usual parade of glamour, experimentation, and gasp-worthy reveals—but one unexpected moment that had us doing a double take? Future. Blond. Chopped. Casual.

Yes, the “Mask Off” rapper—famously low-key and usually tucked behind a curtain of long dreadlocks—stepped out with a cropped, bleached blond ’do. If you’ve been peeping his IG, he’s been teasing us with a lighter look for a minute, but seeing it in full effect on the Met stairs? We weren’t ready.

His fit? Equally low-key, yet high-fashion. Future rocked a custom Pharrell Williams x Louis Vuitton ensemble: a gray quarter-zip set, layered with a tie for just the right touch of effortlessness. While most attendees leaned into crisp tailoring and sculptural statements, Future’s vibe was more chill luxe—easygoing, modern, and undeniably cool.

Let’s talk about the theme, though. This year’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” wasn’t just about sharp silhouettes—it was about heritage, expression, and the many textures of Black style. Hair, as always, was a statement of its own. We saw kiss curls, finger waves, afros, braids, pompadours, and pin curls all gracing the carpet. Angela Bassett gave us tall-hat drama with teased-out volume, Zendaya and Alicia Keys served in braids, and Gigi Hadid took us back in time with a polished curl moment.

And right there among them—Future and image architect Law Roach—both ditching their usual long locks for blonde transformations. Future’s new look, paired with a soft-spoken fit, almost whispered instead of shouted, but the impact? Loud.
