Tilda Swinton
is anything but “mainstream” and has appeared in numerous experimental films after she was noticed by critics with her 1.80 meters shortly after studying acting on British theater stages - especially in “trouser roles”, such as Mozart.
The short blonde haircut makes the arthouse actress look even cooler and more androgynous.

In 2007
Swinton took
a trip to Hollywood - and stood in
front of the camera
with George Clooney for
Michael Clayton
.
For best supporting actress she was awarded an Oscar the following year.
She accepted it in her natural hair color - the striking red also shows that she comes from one of the oldest Scottish clans (Clan Swinton).

Kristen Stewart
is blond - but the dark approach reveals that hairdressers must have helped.
After the success in the vampire saga
Twilight

tried
not only with the somewhat different acting engagements, but also with hair colors.

With

Whoever watched the video clip of one of their most successful songs
Oops!

Spears
- after a long career for many fans the epitome of a blonde - is actually rather dark blonde.

In the early 2000s,
J. Los's
singing career
started
uphill
with her album of the same name, after which she was offered various roles in Hollywood feature films.
While

hardly shows
herself
without bleaching today, she wore
her hair in nature

Elegant paleness, black shiny hair.
This is how we know the US actress
Anne Hathaway, she
was seen in Ang Lee's Oscar-winning drama
Brokeback Mountain
in 2005
and in the best-selling film
The Devil Wears Prada
in 2006
.
A few years later, her beautiful hair had to believe in it for a role ...

For
Les Miserables
,
Hathaway
received
the Oscar for best supporting actress and a Golden Globe in 2013 - and rightly so, because she lost over eleven kilograms for the role of Fantine and had her hair cut in a film scene.
She accepted the awards with a raspy short pixie cut and then decided to dye her hair blonde.

But with her natural hair color,
Hathaway
became a Hollywood favorite in 2001:
She became world famous
through the film
Suddenly Princess
, in which she can be seen alongside Julie Andrews.
In the comedy, she portrays an inconspicuous American girl who learns that she is really a princess and heir to the throne in a European dwarf state.
The equally successful sequel,
Suddenly Princess 2,
followed three years later
.

Katy Perry
has a good laugh.
She became
world famous
as an American singer and songwriter in 2008 with

This question is not easy to answer, as the US singer is considered a true hair color chameleon.
From green to blue, from gray to platinum blonde, everything was included.
A real pleasure for hairdressers and stylists who are looking for radical changes.
Katy Perry is black-haired - or is she?

The type changes apparently did not only come from
Perry's
chart successes.
Even the characteristic black that she
wears
in the music video for
I kissed a Girl
,
among other things
, is not supposed to be her real hair color.
According to her own statements, she started coloring at the age of 15 because she didn't like her natural hair color.
Emma Stone

US actress
Emma Stone
wears her red hair with so much dignity and grace that one could easily believe that she is naturally redhead.
She can also be seen in most of her Hollywood blockbusters as a red-haired or at least red-blonde actress.

But
Stone
is mistakenly presented as a natural redhead.
She is actually dark blonde.
The Oscar winner now switches back and forth between ginger and blonde - but her natural blonde would not be quite as light and cool as in the picture.

her warm golden-blonde hair a little

Just as she
got to know and love

Taylor Swift
(born 1989) is already one of the most successful artists in history.
In 2019, the country pop singer was named "Artist of the Decade" at the American Music Awards.

But
Swift
has grown up and now wears her hair in her natural dark blonde more and more often.

an accurate, beveled bob with bangs
at the 2016
Vanity Fair Oscar Party
.

Those who are naturally blonde want to become red-haired - and those who are red-haired prefer to be colored blonde.
A strange trend can be observed in Hollywood.
US actress
Nicole Kidman
is also getting lighter on the head with age.

Kidman
wants to
wear her hair
not only blonde, but mostly straight too

The US actress and singer
Lady Gaga is a
master of all styles.
The shiny silver platinum blonde has meanwhile become her trademark when appearing on the red carpet.

Lady Gaga is
still not
afraid of
unusual looks
for concerts and performances on stage

In the past of the world-famous - and also politically very committed - artist, fans could also admire wild hair colors on her:
Lady Gaga
appeared blonde, black, pink, green and gray
.
What hair color does Lady Gaga naturally wear?

Which hair color the style icon would really wear naturally remains a mystery to many fans.
Nobody can
imagine
“perfectly normal” brown on

US actress and Woody Allen muse
Scarlett Johansson
was hailed as the “new Marilyn Monroe” at the beginning of her career, not only because of her acting talent, but also because of her blonde curls and feminine curves.
It's hard to believe that Johansson isn't a natural blonde at all.

Mother nature actually blessed her with brown hair.
Now that
Johansson
is firmly established as an actress in Hollywood, she dares to wear her natural hair color every now and then.
At first it took some getting used to, but her look turned out to be her
fans' favorite
styling at the world premiere of the comic book adaptation of
Marvel Studios Avengers: Infinity War
.
Kate Hudson

The successful US actress and film producer
Kate Hudson
comes from a real dynasty of actors, as she is the daughter of Bill Hudson and Goldie Hawn.

Almost Famous
, for which she was awarded a Golden Globe and which gave her her international breakthrough, she wears her hair as a wild, blonde mane.

The look of blonde “beach girls” is characteristic of
Hudson
, just as it was for her mother Goldie Hawn.
But both actresses are actually brown-haired.
But they rarely show themselves in public, as it doesn't match their image.
