Nina Dobrev Rocks Chocolate Brunette Tresses As Elena Gilbert on Vampire Diaries
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Based on the popular book series The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith, The CW Network has created a spin-off series which recently premiered.
The new Vampire Diaries series stars gorgeous 20 year old brunette Nina Dobrev in the career making role of Elena Gilbert. Leading Lady Nina is an experienced actress (Degrassi) who is as beautiful as she is charming. The character of Elena is designed to be portrayed as goodness and light in order to contrast with the dark brooding features of Stefan, her new love. Who just happens to be a vampire.
Nina Dobrev’s chocolate brunette hair contains carefully placed highlights and lowlights to add a halo of lights around her faceline, underlying the good versus evil theme built into the good girl meets dark handsome vampire. Her below-the-shoulder long sultry tresses also contain hints of strategically placed lowlights in shades of caramel and hazelnut.
Although the original books described Elena Gilbert as a blonde, the CW has recast her as a brunette who starts off soft and timid but finds her voice and strength of character as the show unfolds. It is possible Nina’s hair will reflect the evolution of Elena and may take on different hairstyles, hues and texture as the season progresses. (more…)
