Stars Who Look Better As Blondes: Selena Gomez, Reese Witherspoon & More

Stars Who Look Better As Blondes: Selena Gomez, Reese Witherspoon & More — Do blondes really have more fun? Perhaps, or maybe it’s just when stars like Selena Gomez dye their hair blonde, they feel like having MORE fun?

Embracing a hair transformation is a right of passage for any Hollywood starlet and at some point, all of them tend to try out a lighter look. Sometimes, it’s a subtle transformation, like for Taylor Swift; others make a dramatic entrance by introducing the world to their blonder locks, like Kristen Stewart and Rihanna. And some you just couldn’t look at the same way if they weren’t blonde. Heck, Reese Witherspoon will never not be associated with the movie ‘Legally Blonde’ – so why mess with perfection!

Check out the gallery to see some of your Hollywood faves swinging both ways – brunette and blonde – and decide wheter you agree that they look better in golden locks of gorgeous hair!

Sofia Richie

Sofia Richie — Sofia Richie is a natural brunette, but being a model — and a millenial — she’s often changing up her look to see what works for her. Blonde is her color, we must say.

3 of 40

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift — Taylor Swift has changed her hair to be every shade of blonde out there, but we’re partial to the golden locks she rocked during the 1989 era best.

4 of 40

Rihanna

Rihanna — Rihanna likes to dye her hair every color of the rainbow, but when she decides to hit the yellow palette, it’s always with a soft hue that compliments her complexion.

Sarah Hyland

Sarah Hyland — Sarah Hyland goes for a more sunkissed blonde when she chooses to dye her hair and when the summer months roll along, we can’t blame her. It just brightens up her whole look!

6 of 40

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart — After Kristen Stewart put her Bella Swan years behind her, she started to seriously experiment with her hair. This platinum blonde pixe cut is one our favorite looks on her.

7 of 40

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore — Most millenials think of Drew Barrymore as a blonde, probably associating her with her iconic character in ‘Scream’. But in all honesty, she’s a brunette who takes going blonde very seriously, since you can barely tell she’s even dyed her hair.

8 of 40

Katy Perry

Katy Perry — Katy Perry may have kissed a girl and liked it, but she’s a girl who has never been able to setlle on a hair color. This shorter, platinum cut really brighten up her face though.

9 of 40

Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams — Regina George dyed her hair honey blonde and looked gorgeous, so we’re going to dye our hair honey blonde and look gorgeous. Oh, we mean, Rachel McAdams — sorry!

10 of 40

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie — Margot Robbie is almost unrecognizable as a brunette, having spent most of her time in the spotlight as a blonde. While she looks lovely with dark hair, no reason to mess with perfection. Stick to the blonde.

11 of 40

Zoe Kravitz

Zoe Kravitz — When your dad is Lenny Kravitz and your mom is Lisa Bonnet, chances are you’ll be someone who likes to be playful with their look. And this one is a hard choice, since with the darker hair, she’s the spitting image of her rocker dad, but with the lighter, she looks identical to her actress mom.

12 of 40

Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett Johansson — Another tough call, as Black Widow has seen and done it all with her hair, but when it comes to Scarlett Johansson , we tend to lean towards the Avenger: Infinity Wars look over her red locks in her debit in Iron Man 2.

13 of 40

Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts — It’s kind of hard to look at Emma Roberts as a blonde and not immediately think of Chanel Oberlin from ‘Scream Queens’, right?

14 of 40

Lucy Hale

Lucy Hale — This is a subtle blonde that Lucy Hale is pulling off, but it’s a sweet way to brighten up her look all the same.

15 of 40

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence — Jennifer Lawrence has experimented with a lot with her hair over the course of her career, but it might surprise fans that her natural color is actually blonde. And while she looks incredible as a blonde, it’s hard not see her and immediately think, OMG Katniss just dyed her hair!

16 of 40

Emma Stone

Emma Stone — Emma Stone is a red head. And of discussion. Well, except when she’s Gwen Stacy. Then it’s acceptable. And she does look incredibly badass.

17 of 40

Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner — The thing about Kylie Jenner and when she dyes her hair blonde is that’s when she looks most like her older sister, Kim Kardashian. Like, the two could be twins — and we’re good with it!

18 of 40

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian — See! Doesn’t Kim Kardashian look identical to Kylie Jenner in the last slide? Go back and look, we’ll wait.

19 of 40

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar — Buffy is blonde and Sarah Michelle Gellar is Buffy, and so Sarah Michelle Gellar stays blonde, if we have anything to say about it. Unless there is a need for her to play Erica Kane’s daughter — then it’s acceptable to go back to brown.

20 of 40

Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner — This is a toughy — because Jean Grey/ Dark Phoenix is a red head, and Sophie Turner is so good in those movies. But… she was blonde when she married Joe Jonas, so…. TIE.

21 of 40

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon — It should be a law that Reese Witherspoon be blonde at all times. Like… legally blonde. (Yes, we’ve got jokes.)

22 of 40

Elizabeth Banks

Elizabeth Banks — Effie Trinket had wigs to accomplish her wild looks, but Elizabeth Banks just has to choose a new color for her hair and she’s ready to roll. Blonde is the clear winner here.

23 of 40

Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne — Cara Delevingne’s a model and thus, she changes her look often. We’re partial to when she keeps it simply with icy blonde locks.

24 of 40

Hilary Duff

Hilary Duff — As a natural blonde, Hilary Duff has the base to do whatever she wants with her hair — like dying it turquoise! — but, we like her when she goes back to her roots; her perfect, golden roots.

25 of 40

Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez — J.Lo’s hair has been honey blonde for so long, it’s hard to think of Jennifer Lopez rocking any other color. Still, she has experimented with different shades, and we’re leaning towards liking when she goes a bit lighter the best.

26 of 40

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan — Lindsay’s another red head that needs to stay that way! Lohan has gone blonde a few times over her career, but she always realizes it’s better to go back to her red roots. Smart girl.

27 of 40

Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen — The Scarlett Witch needs to have deep red roots, but Elizabeth Olsen does not. Her honey blonde hair is just stunning, and compliments her pigmentation beautifully. Keep it that way, sis!

28 of 40

Karlie Kloss

Karlie Kloss — Supermodels are pretty much born to look good wearing anything and everything, including different hair colors and styles. While Karlie Kloss is stunning no matter what, even when rocking a brunette hair shade, she’s even more gorgeous flaunting platinum blonde locks.

29 of 40

Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt — From The Devil Wears Prada to A Quiet Place, there seems to be no role that Emily Blunt can’t adapt to. The same could be said for her hair color shades however, she glows even more as a blonde than as a brunette.

30 of 40

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande — While it’s pretty unbelievable that Ariana Grande is older than twenty years old (yep, she’s twenty seven now) her darker hair makes her look even younger. We definitely root for Ari rocking a honey, lighter brown hair shade over dark brown locks.

31 of 40

Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston — As one of America’s hair icons, repeat after us: there is NO possible way Jennifer Aniston EVER could look “bad”. While her iconic Rachel Green hairstyle served as inspiration to women all over in the 2000’s, the lighter hair colors she’s gone with take the cake for her absolute best looks.

32 of 40

Julianne Hough

Julianne Hough — Julianne Hough is a grade A hottie, no doubt. Her trained dancer’s body allows her to pull off wearing just about anything, but eh, could the same be said about hair color? We’re not so sold on that, and we prefer Hough in a light blonde hair color over anything else.

33 of 40

Chrissy Teigen

Chrissy Teigen — This is a really, really tough call. She’s just too pretty! Chrissy Teigen is honestly is stunning either way, but rocking blonde honey and caramel highlights maybe bring out her facial features more than a straight dark brown tone. What do you guys think?

34 of 40

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato — Another toughie! Even though Demi Lovato’s au natural dark brown, almost black hair does wonders for her, she really stands out with a pop of color flaunting a lighter shade. Plus, the dark, rooty look is definitely a serve. Who agrees?

35 of 40

Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke — OK, this one seems to be a no-brainer. We will never forget when Emilia Clarke rose to the surface with her “real life” image: fans everywhere seemed SHOCKED that she didn’t have silver/blonde hair in real life! Her natural brown just doesn’t quite live up to Khaleesi’s iconic icy blonde locks.

36 of 40

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus — Miley Cyrus loves to get experimental with different looks, but when her hair’s dark it really does set her back to her Disney Channel days. Miley, let’s keep the hair light from now on, please.

37 of 40

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj — Maybe it’s just the way it highlights her face, we’re not too sure, but Nicki Minaj can’t ever go wrong as a platinum blonde. She almost doesn’t even look like herself wearing any other color!

38 of 40

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley Tisdale — Circa her High School Musical days, Ashley Tisdale famously rocks long, big blonde hair like no other. When her hair is darker, she almost looks older and definitely different. Let’s keep it light, Ash!

39 of 40

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman — Which Nicole Kidman do YOU think looks best: natural red head or sexy blonde? It’s really difficult to tell, especially since Kidman brought back a blonder version of her natural red hair for her role in Big Little Lies (2017). We suppose any blonder version on Nicole is the best look for her.

40 of 40

Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams — This one’s definitely a no-brainer. Michelle Williams has had to change up her look time and time again throughout her career as a screen actress, but you can’t even compare her blonde to any other shade. There’s no contest, and blonde is DEFINITELY her color.
