If you don’t usually take a cue from Britney Spears’ choices in fashion, you may want to do so now. The 26-year-old mother of two is sporting long, straight, “baby blonde” locks.

Looking better than ever, Brit lightens her locks and lets down her hair and her hair stylist, Kim Vo, gives PEOPLE the scoop on the new look. “I took her into the baby-blonde spectrum, like a child who’s been at the beach,” Vo says of softening the star’s darker blonde color. “She now has a lot of streaks including some dark in the back but the effect is baby-blonde. She is blonder than she’s been, which she loves.”

Apparently, the new do is in preparation of Britney’s video participation in Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” world tour, which will kick off in East Rutherford, New Jersey on October 4.

Also according to the stylist, she had to take into account the color of the Material Girl’s hair and give Britney a shade which complements and contrasts Madonna’s mane.

There’s also one quick beauty tip that you can get from Britney: use the Perfect Polish Dry Serum. It’s perfect for those who prefer to have a straight hair style, and it keeps your locks polished and frizz-free.

I definitely think that the color of Britney’s hair suits the season and the color is simply fab!
