28 celebrities who have dyed their hair red

Fox, who normally has black tresses, told Vanity Fair that the look was inspired by Greek mythology.

"We wanted to do something that's different but also still me," she said. "I have this obsession with the story of Greek mythology. I don't want to go into the whole thing, but basically coming back from the underworld, what would you look like? If your hair was set, if all the fire and brimstone from hell was in your hair, you were the queen of the underworld, what would you look like walking the red carpet?"

In March 2019, Keough shared an Instagram photo showing her with curly brown hair, captioned, "The only existing picture of my natural hair color." Over her career, she's had brown, blonde, and, now, red hair.

The hair stylist on "Daisy Jones," Maryann Hennings, told People what went into Keough's transformation.

"We made Riley this bright red. She's normally dark haired, so I lightened it, put this bright red on it and then put a gloss over it that just made the whole thing shine," she said. "[Keough] would get it done every three weeks. Sometimes I would have a glaze or shades put over it to pop the red. I would use a lot of leave-in conditioners and products that left her hair in good condition."

Zendaya is known as a hair chameleon — she's tried almost every color and style. But she comes back to this deep red time and time again. The first time she did this color was in 2019, which she called an "MJ homage" on Twitter, referencing her "Spider-Man" character MJ Watson. She also confirmed it was a semi-permanent dye, not a wig.

She brought the look back in 2021, captioning an Instagram selfie, "It was time for a change."

Teigen showed off her new auburn look on Instagram, captioning it, "Breaking news: woman gets new hair color," and thanked her colorist Matt Rez and her hairstylist Rikke Gajda.

According to Stone's longtime colorist Tracey Cunningham, the reason Stone wears red so well is that she "looks like a redhead."

"I think there's something about those genetics that make the red shade look so gorgeous with her skin tone and her eyes," she told Refinery29 in 2018.

Since at least 2019, Rihanna has been sticking to glossy black hair, but around a decade ago, her bright-red hair was one of her most distinguishable features. Just look at the "Only Girl (In the World)" or "What's My Name?" music videos.

Roberts' natural hair, in her own words, is "kind of a dark blonde." But in two of her most beloved roles, she rocked auburn curls.

Jenner dyed her hair copper to walk in the Prada autumn/winter 2022 show at Paris Fashion Week. While she was in Paris, she was basically confined to her hotel room so as to not spoil the surprise of her new look.

By May 2022, she was back to her brunette roots.

At one point, Turner was dyeing her hair twice a week to make sure no blonde strands were peeking out while filming "Game of Thrones," but after a few years switched to red wigs.

"With my red, I feel very empowered, because with every character that I've played that has red hair, they've been such a strong and powerful character. I love it for that," Turner told Refinery29 in 2019.

Even though "GOT" is over, Turner has returned to the redhead life, though now she opts for more of a black-cherry hue.

Hadid is most recognizable with dirty-blonde hair, but she's experimented with many colors throughout her career, including the burgundy hue she debuted at the 2021 Met Gala. She worked with her hairstylist Esther Langham and colorist Keith Shore to achieve the look.

Sweeney became a redhead for a role, her colorist Nikki Lee told Allure. "We really wanted a major change for this role. Everyone knows blonde Syd, so when she booked this, we really wanted to go for it. Like, let's switch it up and give people a different side," she said.

"Initially, it was supposed to be a strawberry blonde, but after a couple flicks of the magic wand, we came up with this fun, fiery version."

According to InStyle, "It was quite damaged from all those water scenes and from re-dyeing it red so many times," said Winslet.

Dunst told Lucky Magazine in 2011 that she attracts "a different kind of boy when my hair's red. I get more quality men — like a more thoughtful, nerdy dude," according to Hollywood Life. It's fitting, then, that her husband, Jesse Plemons, is a natural redhead.

Lively's blonde hair is iconic, all the way back to her "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" days. So, in 2011, when she was cast in the movie "Hick," it was a welcome change, her colorist Rona O'Connor told Glamour.

"Blake had a vision in her mind of the red she liked, and it was a red I knew we could do," O'Connor said. "She loves it. She gets to wear something new and different and she can feel comfortable in her role in the movie and not have to deal with having to wear a wig."

For her role in "It Ends With Us," Lively will once again have red hair, though this shade is more auburn than strawberry.

In 2015, after almost two decades as a redhead, Hendricks left behind her fire-engine-red hair, according to People.

"It reminds me of when I was a kid — half my life I was blonde. It's a bit nostalgic and there's this sort of youthful feeling about it to me," she told People.

She's since returned to a more fiery shade.

"The minute I went red, it was like, 'quirky' instead of flirtatious and dumb. It was really fascinating to see just one element of yourself change people's perception and that became a very powerful tool for me, even in my acting," she said in 2016, according to Allure.

For the 2015 revival, however, Anderson wore a wig, although not by choice. She told EW in 2015 that she "was really looking forward" to dyeing her hair Scully-approved red, but her hairstylist told her that she was "risking a catastrophe" if she went red for the summer.

"I am not a redhead, I'm a blonde," Nixon told Marie Claire in 2010, when she appeared on the red carpet for "Sex and the City 2." "Right now, this isn't my natural blonde color. I had to dye it in order to get the red out of it," she continued.

In the "SATC" revival, "And Just Like That...," Nixon sported gray hair for most of the season, but dyed it back to her classic red in the finale.

"I have never felt more like ME than I do right now!! I have always felt like a red head my whole life, even to the point that I've thought that my future daughter would 100% be a red head," Hough wrote on Instagram in 2018 after dyeing her hair.

"I've seriously talked about doing this for 6 years, ask anyone who knows me...and now that I'm on this new journey, exploring and finding out who I truly am, I said screw it! I feel more feminine and alive and I love it," she continued.

Woll appeared on "True Blood" with red hair until the show's end in 2014, though she had started dyeing her hair red years before.

"As a fair-skinned blonde, I disappeared into the background. I've always been a loner, so I suppose dyeing my hair red was a way to say, 'I'm here, I exist, I'm a human being and you can't just push me aside,'" she told Elle in 2009.

Snow told Yahoo! Style that she identifies as a blonde, though she's most famous for her redheaded character in "Pitch Perfect." She says darker red is her least favorite shade on herself.

"I think my least favorite hair color was the hair color that I had in 'Pitch Perfect 2.' They really wanted me to be dark red and I wanted to be lighter like I was in the first movie, but they didn't want that. But I rocked some light red for a year, after it faded," she said.

"A lot of people don't know I'm not actually a redhead," Thorne told Allure in 2014. "I'm a blonde. I dyed it for 'Big Love.' It started off more of a deep red, and Disney was like, 'Why don't we take Bella all the way to blonde again?' I don't know why, but I had a breakdown and so overreacted. I wanted to go back to red."

These days, she's basically a hair chameleon.

The "Bohemian Rhapsody" star debuted her new look on the red carpet for the Netflix film "The Pale Blue Eye" in December 2022.

"It's all about COPPER and I'm LOVING this look," her hairstylist Mark William Selley wrote on Instagram. In another post he wrote, "Obsessed with this look… sometimes a little change is what's needed."

Ferreira, who played Kat on the first two seasons of "Euphoria" before mutually agreeing with creator Sam Levinson to part ways with the show, has normally had dark-brown or black hair.

But in January 2022, she debuted a new red hue on Instagram.

Madonna's daughter normally has sleek black hair, but over the years, she's experimented with a red tint, most recently at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Back in 2015, the natural dirty-blonde singer dyed her hair a deep auburn.

"I'm very content with my natural hair color right now. But I think the only other one I really loved was this kind of blood-red hair. It was like really dark red with this really bright red kind of sheen over it. It was awesome. I had so much fun wearing it," Wood told Allure in 2013.

Moss, who has most recently been a platinum blonde, made headlines with her strawberry blonde look in 2018.
