Redheaded stars inspiring a bold hair color change

Recently, while watching House of Guinness, I realized that I have a strong affinity for women with red hair. Although I believe Niamh McCormack would be just as captivating with any hair color, I think it is the contrast between her fiery curls and crystal blue eyes that makes her so striking. The fact that she constantly wears green in the series only adds to the overall impression that this girl is a feast for the eyes. In fact, for months now I have been thinking about dyeing my hair orange myself, for the simple reason that I want green to suit me that well.

But orange hair is not reserved only for fair-skinned girls with light eyes, although they are most often natural redheads. It also looks great on people with brown eyes. I recently watched Madelaine Petsch on the Call Her Daddy podcast, yes, I watched a podcast, because I could not take my eyes off her beautiful hair. Whether natural or not, red hair always makes an impression. There is something incredibly alluring about hair that shimmers like a flame, so much so that you do not even need a particularly colorful outfit or heavy makeup. Hair can be the star of any look.

And it seems to me that lately I am not the only one noticing redheads, since more and more celebrities are opting for orange hair. Even famous brunettes like Zendaya and blondes like Gigi Hadid have tried this color. In addition to classic red tones, muted, bronzed ginger shades are also trending. They are a less risky option for those who want to try a new hairstyle but are afraid of a dramatic change. Below, I highlight redheaded celebrities who inspire me to maybe try a new hair color myself in 2026.
