10 celebs who went red and how to totally pull it off

Do you often fantasise about dyeing your hair ruby-red but are too chicken to follow through? Well, that all might be about to change, because there’s no time like the present to make a bold beauty statement. Just look at these stars who’ve walked on the fiery side with their dye jobs. From soft coppers to deep mulberry tones, there’s a shade for every girl looking for a mane mix…

Katy Perry

Never one to stray from a hair transformation, Katy has rocked a number of experimental shades, but this Jessica Rabbit-inspired bombshell copper ‘do is one for the history books. 

Sienna Miller

The actress turned heads earlier this year with that tousled lob, then switched her buttercup locks for a vibrant auburn, before toning it down to this soft fade-out. 

Elisabeth Moss

Taking a cue from Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth rocks flame-coloured locks which compliment her baby-blue eyes. 

Kirsten Dunst

Mary-Jane obviously left quite the impression on Kirsten Dunst, who kept this dusty shade long after filming Spiderman. We love the way it pops against her alabaster skin, and dyeing her arches to match makes this look seem so natural. 

Rachel McAdams

Make no mistake, this paprika hue is no easy feat to pull off, but Rachel’s mane is so eye-catching it makes us want to shake things up. Pairing her soft but daring hair with a flush of pink makes this look oh so femme. 

Drew Barrymore

While there’s no denying Drew is the queen of ombré, her stint as a red haired dame set our hearts on fire.

Emma Stone

She’s naturally a blonde, but you’d never know it, given how naturally the actress’ red hair suits her big eyes, fine features, fair-skinned complexion and adorably goofy personality.

Kristen Stewart

Who knew regrowth could look so damn good?! K-Stew completely stole the spotlight at this year’s Chanel show with this fanta-tinged rock-chick debut. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. 

Rihanna

While we love RiRi’s raven mane, her time as a redhead was both edgy and feminine, and highlighted her natural glow. 

Blake Lively

Before she was Mrs Reynolds, Blake was a screen siren, sporting mermaid waves and a turquoise dress a la Ariel from The Little Mermaid back in 2011. 

So, are you feeling inspired yet? Cause we sure are! In fact, we were so curious to see how we’d look with crimson locks, we fauxed our own redhead makeovers. If you’re thinking about taking the plunge, here’s all the proof you need that yes, you can totally rock the red:  bh’s Rosie BLONDE HAIR, FAIR SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES Bright orange-red or ginger shades create a beautiful contrast against lighter skin tones. If you have blue eyes, these orange-based hues will really make your peepers pop. bh’s Beth MEDIUM BROWN HAIR, MEDIUM SKIN TONE, GREEN EYES For Beth’s skin tone and eye colour, copper is an obvious choice. Consider going a little darker at the roots to create a visual separation between your skin and hair. bh’s Astrid LIGHT BROWN HAIR, MEDIUM SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES If you have yellow, olive undertones like Astrid, strawberry-red will flatter you more than cool reds, like scarlet or crimson. bh’s Sam DARK BROWN HAIR, FAIR SKIN TONE, BLUE EYES Since Sam’s hair is already quite dark, going for a deeper red tone isn’t too much of a stretch. Opt for blue-red or purple-based tones, like berry and wine. What do you think of our red hair makeovers? Are you inspired to change up your locks?
