There are things we know for certain. The sun will always rise in the morning, coffee will fix everything and Scarlett Johansson is a natural blonde. Wait, don’t quote us on that last one. The truth is, there’s a lot we don’t know about some of our favourite A-listers. Though we try to keep track of every pregnancy announcement or favourite lipstick, celebrities have a knack for regularly changing up their look (wouldn’t you if you had a glam squad on call?).
But in the spirit of transparency (and having a few interesting facts up your sleeve at your next dinner party), we felt it was our duty to report some of Hollywood’s biggest hair transformations and to let you know that your favourite redhead is actually a blonde.
Emma Stone
She might just be one of Hollywood’s most iconic redheads, but we’re sorry to tell you, Emma Stone’s natural hair colour is blonde. “I really like having red hair. I’m a natural blonde, but I really like the red,” the Easy A actress told Vogue UK.
Scarlett Johansson
What happens when the blonde bombshell is actually a natural-born brunette? Well, this is the case with Scarlett Johansson. Did not see that coming.
Sophie Turner
Game Of Thrones fans (and redheads) might take this one hard but it’s time you knew the truth. Sansa Stark is a fictional character and Sophie Turner’s natural hair colour is blonde. Sorry.
Kristen Stewart
We’ve seen Kristen rock pink hair, creamy blonde, bleached blonde and chestnut brown. So would the real K-Stew please stand up? Turns out the Twilight star’s natural hair colour is none other than dirty blonde.
Zooey Deschanel
Ok, this one caught us off guard. A true-born brunette in our eyes and also in her own, Zooey made the switch from blonde after discovering that she couldn’t connect with her lighter-haired self. Speaking to Stylecaster, the New Girl actress revealed, “when I had blonde hair I would wake up and be like, shocked. Your hair is part of your identity, and I’ve always felt like a brunette with bangs.”
Jennifer Lawrence
She wears both well, but what is Jennifer Lawrence’s natural hair colour? Drumroll please… she’s a blonde! And a stunning one at that.
Rachel McAdams
We’re all familiar with Rachel McAdams as a blonde (hello, Regina George) but after a brief stint as a ginger and a moment with neon pink streaks, The Notebook star is actually a natural brunette.
Gwen Stefani
Before you try and guess, no her natural hair colour isn’t blue. But it’s not her signature bleached blonde mane either. Gwen is a natural-born brunette, however, you’ll have to scour the internet trying to find any evidence of it.
Which one of these celebrities surprised you the most?
Very interesting.
Stunned that Emma Stone and Sophie Turner aren’t redheads, they suit the colour so well! Zoey looks so great with brunette hair, much better than the blonde.
Yes, me too! Surprised that they are naturally blonde.
Zooey looks a thousand times better as a brunette. It is strange that her natural hair colour doesn’t actually suit her at all.
She doesn’t look like the same person with the blonde hair!
Zooey Deschanel is so surprising!
Kristen Stewart and Zooey Deschanel were surprising to me. I always thought they were both brunettes
Rachel’s natural brunette looks really good on her.
