Kate Moss Dons Dark Roots, Golden Extensions

Exiting London's Hazlitt's hotel, Kate Moss modelled what seemed like souvenirs from her recent holiday in Ibiza: beachy blonde hair, a sun-kissed dark tan, and, er, even darker roots.

The look is quite a turnaround for the skinny British supermodel. Just weeks before, she sported shoulder-length locks to the opening of Topshop's Knightsbridge store, reports the Daily Mail; now, however, her hay-colored hair hung down well past her chest and olive Fiona Paxton Surat necklace.

Either someone's been tippling the Miracle-Gro, or we'd guess that Moss has had the help of more than a few hair extensions.

As for the 36-year-old's dark roots, don't think for a minute that this trendsetter couldn't be bothered to touch-up her tendrils. Visible roots are very much in style -- not unlike the gray streaks Moss showed off five months ago at her Longchamp handbag launch in Paris.

In fact, in recent months, stars including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Gwen Stefani, Sarah Jessica Parker, and a whole flock of winged Victoria's Secret Angels have kept their roots dye-free.

So there you have it: The answers behind Moss's new 'do.

Actually, we have one more question: The woman is worth millions - can't she afford a hairbrush?

In related news, read about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's new neon hair.

Moss looks like she's been rode hard & hung up wet. Put a comb through that rat's nest chick.

Hey Mark, not everybody's hair looks good at every second. And sometimes lighting and camera angle can make roots look even darker. So lighten up! Kate Moss is an ICON in the modeling world.

One question for Kate Moss. Do you know what a comb and brush are?

Agree with ceeejaaa. Blondes, especially natural, have a lot of natural shadowing in their hair. Tilt your head the way Moss is in the photo, and you have a shadow line that follows along the part of the hair, if the hair is wavy at all at the root line, this makes the shadow even more prominent, and can you see her shadow in the photo? Really, this article is only trying to make use of a bad photo somebody was stupid enough to buy, and the article isn't much better.

I'm sorry, but I just have to hate someone a little bit who looks so damn good with bad roots.

She looks hot! I only wished i could look like that without a brush. Tossled hair is in & the I have seen other celebrities with roots long before her. It's the trend.

It is hard to keep up blonde hair if its not your natural color. Dark roots on blonde haircoloring is dirty looking. I still can't figure out why so many people go for the blonde hair when so little look good in it. Dark hair looks so much more mysterious on a woman and blonde looks so fake.

"dark roots are very much in style".

I hate when my roots show, I don't care if they deem it to be the hottest style on earth. I dyed my hair light blonde just for fun, but my natural hair is dirty blonde. I can't wait to dye my hair darker to nip the problem forever. err nip the "style" forever.

It seems like celebs can do and wear anything ridiculous and it becomes a style. I personally think the clothes I find at my little local stores are worlds more stylish than anything I see them wearing.

Dark roots are trendy? How about slovenly,tacky and lazy? I love that the headline is "blonde beauty shows dark roots." If the "blonde beauty" shows dark roots,then she isn't "blonde",is she? I guess that makes her a brunette,just like the other 99% of "blondes" in Hollywood.

Kate Moss only looks decent when she's in front of a professional camera.
When she's not working...you'd never pick her out in
a crowd except to think..."she's skinny and needs to eat".

Big deal. She's always showing her roots when she goes blonde. She's like a Bohemian-Hippy blonde type.

Are you kidding me??? I just love it when men make comments on this stuff as though they are experts. Even if Mark is gay, that doesn't automatically make him an expert. The next thing is going to be that her gas bloat is the result of a "baby bump".
