Fans Reminisce About Jessica Alba’s (44) Blonde Era – And It Was Absolutely Sizzling

Jessica Alba, 44, has spent the last twenty years moving from Hollywood starlet to business powerhouse, but fans can’t stop talking about one particular phase of her career. Many agree that her mid-2000s blonde era, when she shined as a golden bombshell, was iconic. Social media users often call this her “peak Alba,” a time when her style and beauty left a lasting mark on pop culture.

Her transformation to blonde is most closely associated with her role as Sue Storm in the 2005 hit Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel. To play the Invisible Woman, Alba went from her natural brunette hair to bright, sunny blonde locks. The look matched her sun-kissed skin and became inseparable from her image during that time. It appeared on magazine covers, red carpets, and influenced beauty trends for years.

Movies like Into the Blue also highlighted her beachy, golden waves, which became a summer style inspiration for fans. I think they’re fun and good movies for the ”black leather” era of comic films, one fan said in a discussion reflecting on her superhero years. Even if some critics had mixed opinions about her casting back then, there’s no denying how memorable that blonde look was.

After that high-energy period in Hollywood, Alba shifted her focus. She co-founded The Honest Company in 2011, building it into a billion-dollar brand known for clean, sustainable products for families. She stepped down as Chief Creative Officer in 2024 to pursue new projects and passions, but she still serves on the company’s board and remains a strong voice in the business world.

Alba returned to the screen in 2024 with Netflix’s action thriller Trigger Warning. In the film, she plays Parker, a Special Forces commando facing a dangerous conspiracy in her hometown. Critics praised her performance for showing the same physical energy and intensity she had in Dark Angel, the series that first made her a household name. It’s really good to see Jessica Alba back doing a movie, one review noted.

Looking ahead, Alba has a busy 2026 planned. She is set to appear in Dakota Johnson’s directorial debut, A Tree Is Blue, alongside Charli XCX. She is also attached to the thriller The Mark and is reportedly in talks for the dramatic film Weightless. These projects show she is not slowing down and continues to take on challenging and varied roles.

On the personal side, Alba finalized her divorce from Cash Warren on February 13, 2026, after sixteen years of marriage. The two remain close and committed to co-parenting their three children, Honor, Haven, and Hayes. Our babies couldn’t have a better dad — warm, kind, present, always knowing just what to say, she shared in a public tribute. Alba has also started a new relationship with actor Danny Ramirez, and the pair recently enjoyed a sun-filled getaway together.

Whether on a beach or filming a demanding role, Alba still radiates the charm that made her blonde era so memorable. Her hair may change, but her talent, style, and business acumen remain constant in Hollywood.
