Dua Lipa's Red Hair Is Back

Oh, so we're all dyeing our hair red now? Dua Lipa just debuted a new fiery style, joining a slew of celebrities who've also recently tried red on for size. This includes Megan Fox, Malia Obama, and Billie Eilish (though in her case, it was just her roots).

Photos of Lipa with her new look started circulating in late October, just before Halloween. Then, in early November, the singer was spotted leaving Global Radio Studios in London with her long, wavy hair in a deep merlot shade, squashing any rumors that the change-up was only temporary. At the time, her style also featured a few baby braids scattered throughout, and she matched her color to her equally trendy red knee-high boots. Red has been named as the hottest color of the fall and winter months, and we're beginning to see its effects in both beauty and fashion.

This isn't the first time Lipa took the vibrant color for a spin. In 2021 for her Versace autumn/winter campaign, the singer was photographed with an even brighter shade of cherry-red hair. While at first glance people assumed it was a wig, designer Donatella Versace revealed the star actually changed up her look for the photo shoot. "She also trusted me when I asked her, she did not hesitate [to dye her hair]," Versace told WWD in an interview.

Before that, Lipa sported a two-toned look while in lockdown, briefly adding strawberry red to her signature dark hair, but the extra-bright shade, paired with long extensions and blunt clip-in bangs, was the most dramatic transformation we'd seen from her yet. As Versace said, "Fiery red is a symbol of passion and strength," and Lipa certainly embodies that description. Ahead, get a closer look at the two times she's gone full red.
