10 Celebrities Who Look Better With Natural Hair Color & 10 Who Look Amazing With A Dye

It's no secret that celebrities are hair chameleons. They get bored of their looks or have to change their hair for a specific role. They straighten their hair, cut it short, or even go bald! It goes to show fans just how dedicated they are to their work. Changing something like your hair color can make a huge difference for celebrities and even make or break their careers.

We've all had that moment when we were surprised to find out that our favorite celebrity who's known for her blonde locks was actually not a natural blonde, or that not all stars who are famous for their fiery red hair are true redheads. It's hard to imagine them in other shades because they look so good!

It might and might not work better when celebrities who are known for their natural hair change things up by going for another hue. Going from a dark hue to light or from light to dark can make them look younger, bring out the brightness in their eyes, and flatter their complexion.

While they may manage to look gorgeous in any color, there's always one that's slightly better. Here's the list of 10 celebrities who look better with natural hair color and 10 who look amazing with dyed manes.

10 Celebrities Who Look Better With Their Natural Hair Color:

20 Jennifer Lawrence Switches Between Two Colors For Her Roles, But Blonde Wins

Jennifer Lawrence is a natural blonde, but she rose to stardom as a brunette when she played the female protagonist Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series.

The stylists wanted to find the perfect brown shade for her character, but Jennifer didn't want them to experiment on her naturally blonde hair.

So they rented $30,000 worth of wigs for her to try on before ultimately selecting the perfect dye. Still, Jennifer constantly switches hair colors for her roles. She went blonde for Mystique in X-Men. There's no doubt that Jennifer looks beautiful with dark hair, but she rocks the blonde better. It brightens up her complexion.

19 Emilia Clarke Ditched Her Gorgeous Brown Hair For Platinum Blonde

Platinum blonde has been a trend for a while, and Emilia Clarke jumped on the bandwagon late last year. Everyone was shocked when she ditched her gorgeous brown hair because it was a drastic change. After wearing wigs for seven seasons, she now matches her GoT's character, Daenerys Targaryen.

She told Vanity Fair this past May, “I got to a point where I said I just want to look in the mirror and see something different. So I was just like, 'It's the last season. I'm going to dye my hair blond'.” She then joked that she regretted going blonde. Emilia looks better with her natural brown hair.

18 Selena Gomez Is Over Her Blonde Hair And Returned To Being A Brunette Again

Selena Gomez is no stranger to changing up her hair, and she looks good in every hairstyle. She can pull off the long hair, short hair, and even bangs.

Because she kept her brown hair for the longest time- with the exception of some highlights here and there- her fans were surprised when she went platinum blonde for last year's AMA.

But it seemed like the look was there to stay. When asked if she was keeping the look, she told E! Online, “I am. She's not going anywhere.” But Selena got over her blonde hair fairly quickly. A month later, she was spotted as a brunette again.

17 Margot Robbie Is Utterly Flawless With Her Natural Blonde Hair

Margot Robbie told InStyle that she had “brunette hair actually all through high school,” but things changed when she started auditioning. She said, “When I started working and acting, they all wanted me to have blonde hair."

Margot made a name for herself when she played Naomi in The Wolf Of Wall Street. Apparently, her character was supposed to be the steamiest blonde ever, and she didn't think she lived up to it. She told Wonderland magazine, "I was just terrified that people would see the movie and think: 'Eugh! She's not that great.'" But the blonde beauty was the perfect person to play that role.

16 Blonde Or Brunette? Anne Hathaway Looks A Bit Better As A Brunette

Anne Hathaway went blonde again for her movie Serenity that's set to come out this October. But she first debuted her blonde pixie cut at the 2013 Met Gala. According to Huffington Post, she said about her new look, “It's temporary. But as soon as I did it, I thought I didn't want it to be temporary any longer."

Maybe she realized that blondes don't always have more fun because shortly after, the actress was a brunette again.

Still- Anne looks good in everything. She shaved her head once and looked beautiful. While she can pull off the blonde hair, we think brunette suits her a bit better.

15 Kim Kardashian Always Goes Back To Her Dark Roots After Dyeing Her Hair Lighter

Kim Kardashian's long dark brown hair suits her so beautifully, but she still looked good when she flaunted her platinum blonde hair. However, it was only a matter of time before she went back to her dark roots like she always does after she dyes her hair in a lighter shade.

Kim tweeted that she's over her blonde hair and according to Daily Mail, the brunette bombshell was excited to go back to her natural hair color. She also told PeopleStyle, “I'm not going to lie - being blonde is so high-maintenance! Every few days I use this treatment [Olaplex 3] to strengthen my hair.”

14 Blake Lively Has Had The Perfect Long Blonde Locks Since Her 'Gossip Girl' Days

Blake Lively has had enviable blonde hair since she played Gossip Girl's Serena van der Woodsen.

But many celebrities change their hairstyles for a specific role, and Blake dyed her perfectly tousled blonde hair red for the movie Hick.

It was surprising to see her in a different color. She told People magazine at the time, “I feel like Ariel [the Little Mermaid]. It helps when you're playing a role, when I don't feel like myself. And I don't really feel like myself with red hair.” She recently dyed her hair red again for The Rhythm Section. Red's a nice color, but blonde looks better on Blake.

13 No Matter What Hair Color Hilary Duff Flaunts, Nothing Beats Her Blonde Hair

Hilary Duff rose to fame with her natural blonde locks as Lizzie McGuire. A few years after the Disney show ended, she opted to go dark brown, and while it was still pretty, she was almost unrecognizable.

According to Elle, Hilary said, “I was coming out with my new album Dignity and I had a breakup, so I dyed my hair brown.” It happens. One of the first things we tend to do post-breakup is either dye our hair or cut it off. Apparently, Hilary liked the color on her, but it doesn't seem like she went back to being a brunette ever again.

12 While Rachel McAdams Is Stunning As A Blonde, She's A Brunette Beauty

Dyeing your hair is like finding a new identity. And Rachel McAdams is one of the most versatile actresses who can pull off any color. She's rocked a wide range of shades like red and pink, but blonde has been her go-to color since her breakout role as Regina George in Mean Girls.

There's no doubt that she's stunning as a blonde, but she's also very beautiful as a brunette, which is, surprisingly enough, her true color.

She was breathtaking when she starred in The Vow. It's pretty hard to choose which color suits her the best, but dark hair complements her skin tone so beautifully.

11 Lindsay Lohan Has Changed Her Hair Color Frequently, But Red Looks Best On Her

While there are celebrities who dye their hair red for their signature look, Lindsay Lohan is a true redhead. She was at the peak of her career with red locks, but the same hairstyle can get boring after a while. So it's no secret that Lindsay likes to swap her gorgeous red hair for different colors.

Nothing beats the red though - it flatters her porcelain skin and really brings out her freckles, which have been her trademark since The Parent Trap days, whereas the blonde makes her look a bit washed out. Lindsay returned to her natural hue to make an acting comeback. Mean Girls sequel?

10 Who Look Amazing With A Dye:

10 Emma Stone's Signature Vibrant Red Hair Made A Big Impact On Her Career

Emma got her big break from Superbad where producer Judd Apatow had something to do with her iconic red hair. Emma told Easy Valley Tribune, “Judd made me a redhead. I was a brunette during casting. Then Judd walked in, said 'Make it red,' and walked out. So he made me this way.”

9 Hair Chameleon Katy Perry Rocks Dark Hair Better Than Other Colors

Katy Perry is a beauty risk-taker who has rocked a variety of hair colors and hairstyles. It's no wonder she's a hair chameleon- she looks fabulous in everything from long, wavy hair to pixie cuts. She even looks good with pink and blue hair.

It's surprising to find out that she's a natural blonde because she made a name for herself as a pop star with signature dark locks. But the hair colors we're born with don't always give us the best look. Katy's dark hair flatters her more than any other hues she's flaunted- the color complements her skin tone and brightens her eyes.

According to Daily Mail, she told Self magazine that she had problems getting roles because she was a Latin person with blonde hair. She added that she loved it when she dyed her hair dark.

Either way, though, the actress is stunning.

7 After Jessica Simpson Went Blonde, She Rarely Went Back To Her Roots

Jessica Simpson had blonde hair for so long that people might've forgotten the fact that the star is actually a natural brunette. She's tried different shades of blonde but has yet to return to her dark roots for years now.

The last time she dyed her hair brown was when she started dating John Mayer following her highly-publicized divorce from Nick Lachey. She probably wanted to change her hair color for a fresh new start after a bad breakup. While brown hair looks good on Jessica, blonde is the real winner. The shade makes her complexion look radiant, and who doesn't love that?

It's interesting that Leighton Meester is a natural blonde because she rocked brown hair at the peak of her career. She famously dyed her blonde hair brown during an audition for Gossip Girl because she wanted to play Blair Waldorf and the color of her hair didn't suit the role.

And it's true- being a brunette made a big impact on her career in Hollywood.

Sophie told Marie Claire that she “likes the auburn.” Also, she told PeopleStyle, “Whenever I think of my red hair, I relate it to such a strong woman.” Sophie gives off the sweet girl-next-door vibe as a blonde, but the red hair gives her more character. It goes very well with her fair skin and brightens her green eyes.

4 The Shade Of Jennifer Aniston's Blonde Hair Flatters Her Complexion

Before Jennifer Aniston became one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood with her iconic blonde look, she flaunted her natural brown hair on-screen in the early '90s. Her hairstyle gradually changed during her breakout role as Rachel Green in Friends.

Jennifer's been rocking blondish locks for so many years that it's hard to imagine her in other hues.

Jennifer looked amazing when she went back to her dark roots for her movie Horrible Boss, but if she were to stick with one hair color, then it will probably be her usual blonde hair with highlights. In the end, it's what works best for her complexion.

3 The Chocolate Brown Hair Makes Zooey Deschanel's Bright Blue Eyes Pop

Zooey Deschanel's known for her big, piercing blue eyes and chocolate brown hair that makes them pop. Surprisingly, though, she's a natural blonde and has been dyeing her hair brown for most of her career.

The actress who played the quirky Jess in New Girl is unrecognizable when in her natural hair color. According to Allure, she said, “I would literally wake up and see blonde hair in front of my face and I'd be like, 'Who am I?!' When I got my hair back to brown, I remember my sister going, 'Thank God you're back.'” Blonde Zooey? No, but she looks amazing in a darker shade.

According to Us Magazine, she told New York Times, “Based on roles that I was getting called in for, people were responding to certain types of characters with me as a blonde, and the minute I went red, it was quirky and fun instead of flirtatious and dumb.” Amy has gone back to her natural hue for her roles, but she's so fine as a redhead. Blonde still looks beautiful on her.

1 Brown Hair Suits Kristen Stewart's Fair Skin Tone And Green Eyes Perfectly

Kristen Stewart got her acting break thanks to her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight series. She had to dye her hair brown for her character, and she looked amazing. After the franchise ended, she's been switching up her hairstyles quite often.

She shaved her head and dyed it platinum blonde, giving it a bold look. She's always looking chic no matter what she does, but the dark hair suits her better than her natural blonde. The color emphasizes her beautiful green eyes, especially when she wears smokey eye makeup. It complements her fair skin perfectly, but her features don't really stand out with the lighter shade.
