1-Gigi Hadid
During Milan Fashion Week in March, Gigi Hadid unveiled a striking new hair color, courtesy of hairstylist Panos Papandrianos. In an Instagram post, Hadid attributed her new look to Beth Harmon, the passionate redheaded character portrayed by Anya Taylor-Joy in “The Queen’s Gambit,” expressing gratitude towards everyone involved in the show’s production. “This is for every crew member, creator, writer, cast member, and fan of the show who fell in love with the magic of Beth Harmon and her story,” she wrote.
2-Anya Taylor-Joy
This brings us to Hadid’s source of inspiration – the talented actress and lead of “The Queen’s Gambit,” Anya Taylor-Joy. Although her hair color is toned down slightly from her character in the series, it still highlights the beauty and appeal of the copper hue, which has become increasingly popular.
3-Phoebe Dynevor
Colorist Mads-Sune transformed the hair color of Phoebe Dynevor, leaving fans of Bridgerton in awe, as she exchanged her dark blonde locks for a new, stunning hue.

5-Ciara
Ciara also showcased her own take on the copper hair trend most recently. The singer, who previously experimented with the “winter blues” and “Farrah Fawcett” hair trends, flaunted her lengthy copper waves on Instagram.
6-Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain’s copper hair color complements her skin tone and eyes flawlessly. If you’re interested in trying out this look at home, Tardo recommends finding a shade that complements your skin tone. He recommends the Clairol Natural Instincts 6R Spiced Tea Light Auburn ($14) due to its gentle and hydrating formula, which is free of ammonia.
Body Care Art Tip
To be on the safe side, Tardo suggests purchasing two boxes of hair color. Additionally, he recommends conducting an allergy test by applying a small amount of the product on the inside of your elbow to ensure that you don’t have an adverse reaction to the formula.
7-Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth opted for a stunning, shimmery copper hue, departing from her natural blonde hair color. To maintain the brightness of your copper hair, Tardo recommends using a color-protecting shampoo, such as Davines Nou Nou ($34). He adds, “This will assist in prolonging the life of your auburn locks.”
8-Emma Stone
Emma Stone is known for changing up the shades of her natural red hair. In this picture, she can be seen sporting a bright copper hue. However, she has also rocked auburn hair and blonde highlights in the past, both of which looked fantastic on her.
9-SZA
SZA’s curly hairstyle is beautifully complemented by the warm copper hue. This particular terra cotta shade of copper is an excellent choice for individuals with darker skin tones. Rubenstein advises those who are hesitant about coloring their hair at home to seek the assistance of a professional for the best possible results. She cautions that lightening hair at home can be damaging and expensive to reverse.
However, if you decide to go the DIY route, she recommends trying a demi-permanent color that is only a shade or two darker than your natural hair color. “It’s the absolute best way to do it at home,” she advises.
10-Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts, like her aunt Julia Roberts, has a natural hair color of light brown, but this copper shade provides an effortless transition for a pop of color.
