From Italian bobs to layered cuts, 2023 has already offered up so many trending hairstyles to inspire your next chop. And when it comes to hair colour, things are even more exciting. Glossy brunette, Barbie blonde and even cherry coke red are trending in salons right now, but when it comes to choosing a hue that will transcend the seasons there's no better place to find inspiration than with the A-list. After all, celebrities are lucky enough to have access to the very best colourists in the industry and often switch up their shades as frequently as I change my bedsheets. And whether it's dramatic full colour makeovers or more subtle shifts with highlights, I have a whole Saved folder dedicated to celebrity hair colours and my favourite colour switch-ups.
Ahead, I'm sharing 8 of the best celebrity hair colour transformations that I'm saving for a future hair appointment—and the products you need for colour care at home.
1. Fiery Auburn
Despite playing a redhead in her breakout role in Game of Thrones, Sophie Turner is a natural blonde and wholeheartedly returned to her lighter roots after wrapping the show, but her latest colour switch-up has her embracing 2023's obsession with all things red. Turner's deep-burgundy roots descend into fiery-red ends for a beautifully bright look that feels vibrant and fresh.
This blazing red hue is so on-trend right now.
Our top product pick:
Enhance both dyed and natural red tones and maintain vibrancy with this red shampoo that keeps auburn shades looking fiery.
2. Midnight Black
In one of the most dramatic celebrity hair transformations I've ever seen, both in terms of colour and cut, Florence Pugh shed her classic blonde blob for a goth-inspired black buzzcut at this year's Met Gala. So damn cool.
Pugh proves that even the shortest of hair lengths can enjoy a colour transformation that will turn heads.
Our top product pick:
Packed with glycolic, tartaric, lactic and citric acids, this hardworking scrub dissolves dead skin cells and product build-up to rejuvenate your scalp while baobab seed and passionfruit oils nourish your skin and hair.
3. Copper Glow
When Gigi Hadid dyed her caramel blonde hair to this bright copper shade back in 2021, I was obsessed—and I still am. Copper hair continues to be hugely popular and Hadid's almost tangerine-inspired tint means this celebrity hair look is light, bright and perfect for summer.
This copper hue will also look super-cool as it fades into a muted peachy shade.
Our top product pick:
Leave this glossy colour tint on for 20 minutes to add a golden copper hue to brown hair or a peachy-orange tint to blonde strands.
4. Platinum Blonde
Another Met Gala look that lives in my head rent-free is Laura Harrier's electric blonde pixie cut. The contrast between the dark roots and bright-white lengths lends this look an almost '80s-inspired feel that I can't get enough of.
Keeping hair roots dark helps this typically high-maintenance shade of blonde feel a little more relaxed.
Our top product pick:
Prevent bleached hair from turning brassy with this indigo-blue shampoo that keeps orange tones and brassy highlights at bay.
5. Glassy Brunette
I love a celebrity hair colour transformation with impact and Nicola Peltz Beckham's switch to the dark side is one of my favourites. Expensive-looking, shiny brunette hair is a big trend for summer 2023 so it looks as if Peltz Beckham was ahead of the curve when she opted for this deep chocolate brown hue last year.
The key to this colour is keeping it well-conditioned for that high-shine finish.
Our top product pick:
This innovative hair treatment genuinely only takes 8 second to deliver a moisture-quenching shot of hyaluronic acid to your strands, leaving them intensely moisturised, smooth and incredibly shiny.
6. Chalky Pink
Although it was way back in 2020, Kaia Gerber's pink dye-job is one of my favourite celebrity hair colour switch-ups ever—and it's another colour trend that looks set to be hot again for summer 2023. This chalky pink shade is surprisingly wearable on blonde hair, and keeping the roots a more natural tone like Gerber means it won't feel as dramatic as an all-over colour.
Seriously, how cool does this look?
Our top product pick:
This soft pink hair colour from Bleach London is the perfect way to dip your toe into this colour trend as it only lasts a few washes.
7. Lavender Haze
When it comes to pastel hair colours, Cynthia Erivo's lavender princess hair is always one of the first looks that springs to mind for me. This versatile lilac shade is soft, dreamy and oh-so-pretty and works beautifully on darker hair colours as well as blondes.
The only question is, are you feeling brave enough to embrace an all-over colour like Erivo?
Our top product pick:
These wash-out masks from Wella Professionals are a low-maintenance way to try a whole host of colour trends. This frosty lilac shade is perfect for trying Cynthia Erivo's hair colour at home.
8. Golden Brown
Hailey Bieber is no stranger to the celebrity hair colour transformation—she tends to opt for lighter, brighter highlights in the summer and shift to more chocolate browns in the winter months. Her latest look sees her stepping out in a very on-trend mid-brown bob which looks cool and uniform in some lights and more honeyed in others.
I'm calling this shade golden brown and it's definitely one to save and take to your hairdresser.
Enhance warm brunette tones and add next-level gloss with this deeply conditioning shea butter hair treatment.
