Good luck taking your eyes off Zac Efron<\/a>\u2019s new hairdo.<\/p>\n

The High School Musical star traded his signature brunette hair color for a striking new shade as he vacationed with Nina Dobrev\u2014whose engagement to Shaun White was recently called off<\/a>\u2014along with their pals Chace Crawford, Miles Teller and Keleigh Teller.<\/p>\n

During the nautical getaway, Zac, 37, showed off a bleach blonde look as he posed with the group aboard a yacht in a photo posted on Keleigh\u2019s Instagram<\/a> page Sept. 18.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the Iron Claw star\u2019s first time trying out a lighter look, either. He previously debuted a platinum blonde makeover<\/a> in January 2019 at the Sundance Film Festival, though he later explained why he didn\u2019t plan on maintaining the dye job for long.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would be so much work and chemicals,\u201d Zac told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> in April of that year. \u201cI doubt it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the actor admitted that the transformation only came about after he \u201clost a bet,\u201d he shared that he previously experimented with a blonde look as a kid after being inspired by one of his childhood icons.<\/p>\n
