Megan Rapinoe has begun to develop golden hair.

At Thursday night's ESPY Awards, the soccer star and activist switched off her signature pink hair for ashy blond.

Rapinoe had previously sported pink hair, including a vibrant magenta hue created by well-known hairstylist Riawna Capri.

However, it has been some time since she made a decision regarding a colour that appears more natural.

Rapinoe is open to change, though.

In fact, when things really got bad, she even gave her companion Sue Bird permission to

Rapinoe's new hair colour looks chic and smart on the red carpet and

even if we preferred the pastel-pink trend. Despite cutting off her pink hair,

Rapinoe was still able to maintain her rebellious persona.
