Dumb blonde

Dumb blonde is a stereotype that is typically applied to women with blonde hair that achieved a degree of prominence based on attributes other than their intelligence and ability. This is considered to be a result of a frequent preference among promiscuous males for women with below-average intelligence, as well as certain western cultural preferences for blond hair.

Several notable actresses have been the recipient of the "dumb blonde" label, with Marilyn Monroe being the most notable example.

There is a common category of jokes that employ the dumb blonde stereotype for their effect.
