Mandy Moore may have been a brunette for years, but millennials may remember when she was blonde, back in her Princess Diaries, Saved, and "Candy" days.

Well, Mandy has gone back to her roots, so to speak. The This Is Us actor is blonde yet again! The 2000s are TRULY back!

GORGEOUSNESS.

"Back to blonde for summer," she captioned an Instagram post showing off her new do.

To get the golden look, Mandy dyed her hair herself (!) with help from Nine Zero One Salon hairstylist Nikki Lee. If you want to copy her blonde locks, you easily can. She used Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Color Creme in Almond Cream (70) and followed up later with the Garnier Nutrisse Color Reviver in Cool Blonde to give it a boost.

While this particular shade of blonde is different from what she's had in the past, Mandy hasn't been this light since 2005.

New hair, new baby, and the end of This Is Us happening next year? That's a whole lotta change for Ms. Mandy! One thing's for sure: She totally pulls off being blonde or brunette! (Maybe pink will be next?)
