Gil-galad was an Elvenking... (Patreon)

As far as I can tell, this will be the first fair-haired Gil-galad I'm aware of.  At any rate, he won't look like a grumpy old man with a smashed-in face, no sir.

Tolkien intended to have him be descended from Finarfin (through Angrod and Oropher) rather than Fingon. Funnily, since I imagined Fingolfin and Fingon as blonde until I read the later HoMe volumes, my Gil-galad was always golden-haired as well, so after all those changes, he was the only one that was allowed to stay the same.
