Red hair has long been synonymous with fall beauty trends, but celebrities are switching things up this year and making a case for going red in the summer. It makes sense if you think about it: the color red is daring, hot, and exciting, which sums up summer beauty nicely.
Dua Lipa, Ciara, Emma Chamberlain, Gigi Hadid, and Ashley Benson — who confessed via Instagram that she's "always wanted to be a redhead" — are just a few of the celebrities who decided to turn up the heat this season and dye their hair red. Halle Bailey, Charlize Theron, and Chloe Bennet are also new members of the red-hair club after dyeing their hair for upcoming movie roles.
The hair color picked up steam after Netflix's hit miniseries The Queen's Gambit aired at the end of 2020. Since then, we've seen many iterations of the fiery hue pop up on our Instagram feeds, from code red to rust and tiger daylily.
Lipa went for a bright tiger-daylily hue for her latest Versace campaign, while Ciara went for a deeper rust red, proving there's a shade of red that looks stunning on everyone. Ahead, see all of our favorite celebrities' red-hair-color transformations this year so far.

Rumer Willis's Red Hair Color

Sophie Turner's Red Hair Color
Sophie Turner isn't new to the red shade, but it's been a while since we've seen the color on her. In early June, she returned to the fiery hair color for the first time since she starred on the HBO series Game of Thrones.
SZA's Red Hair Color
On May 30, SZA posted a sexy mirror selfie with bright, candy-apple-red hair.
Ciara's Red Hair Color
Ciara kicked off summer in the best way: with a new hairstyle. Right before Memorial Day weekend on May 29, the singer debuted a deep, rusty-red hair color that caught the light beautifully in her Instagram photo.
Gigi Hadid's Red Hair Color
Gigi Hadid first dyed her hair a muted orange-red shade in March, but on June 27, the model posted a new photo of her long hair blowing in the wind, where it looked to be a vibrant orange-red hue.
Charlize Theron's Red Hair Color
Charlize Theron's red hair, which we saw for the first time on May 19, may be for her role as Lady Lesso in Netflix's film The School For Good and Evil, but we hope the fiery shade stays long after they wrap on filming.
Emma Chamberlain's Red Hair
In May, Emma Chamberlain showed us how to go red in a subtle way when she gave her brown hair a red tint.
Chloe Bennet's Red Hair Color
Chloe Bennet dyed her hair red at the end of March to prep for her role as Blossom in The CW's live-action Powerpuff Girls.
