Emma Stone's Natural Hair Color Isn't What You Think

Emma Stone has worn plenty of different hair colors over the years and proven she looks good in all of them, from brunette to blond and even the black and white wig she wore for Disney's "Cruella" back in 2021. While many love her with red hair — and how could you not, considering it's become her signature shade — you might be surprised to discover that it's not her natural hair color.

In fact, the actor's original hue is dark blond. Celebrity hairstylist Tracey Cunningham first transformed Stone into a redhead for a movie in 2006. In an interview with POPSUGAR, Cunningham said, "One of my other favorite memories was when Emma Stone came to me for 'Superbad' and we made her a redhead. It was so beautiful. I loved it."

Clearly, so did Stone, and she's since kept the shade for a majority of her career, although she does alternate between platinum blond and dark reds with highlights. Still, each color looks as good as the next. Keep scrolling ahead for proof.

Platinum blond had a moment in 2017 — and, with Stone, it's easy to see why.
