Will and Jada Pinkett Smith
Remember the happy family day out when Will and Jada Pinkett Smith took Trey, Jaden, and Willow to the 2022 premiere of Will’s latest film, Emancipation? Everything was hunky dory. They posed for photos on the red carpet, everyone had a lovely time, and Dad didn’t slap anyone. Move along… there’s nothing to see here.
But after Chris Rock made fun of Jada’s alopecia at the 2022 Oscars, Will Smith walked on stage and — channeling his inner Muhammad Ali — slapped the Academy Award host live in front of millions of viewers.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner took her darling daughter Stormi to see her dad, rapper Travis Scott, perform at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Mom wore a figure-hugging silver graphic print dress, while Stormi looked like a little superstar in an off-white dress and sneakers.
Stormi might be tiny, but she’s already worth $570 million! The Kardashian-Jenner girls love men called Travis as Kourtney is married to musician Travis Walker. More on him later…
Beyoncé
Beyoncé took her daughter, Blue Ivy, to the 2019 The Lion King premiere. Queen Bey voiced Simba’s leonine girlfriend, Nala, in Jon Favreau’s photorealistic Disney remake. She also blew audiences away with a jaw-dropping new version of “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” And now we’re remembering it… we’re not crying; you’re crying.
But, did you know Blue Ivy is following in her mom’s footsteps? Beyoncé’s soundtrack album, The Lion King: The Gift, featured a song called “Brown Skinned Girl” — featuring Wizkid, SAINt JHN… and seven-year-old Blue Ivy Knowles!
Chris Hemsworth
Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Spanish model and actress Elsa Pataky, brought their eight-year-old twin sons to Sydney’s Thor: Love and Thunder premiere. The boys were suited and booted, while Elsa looked radiant in a black evening gown.
Surprisingly, the couple’s daughter, India Rose, didn’t attend the premiere of her first movie. However, Chris’ brother, Luke, tagged along with his wife Samantha — plus three of their four children — for the ultimate family night out.
Zoe Saldaña
When actress Zoe Saldaña was honored with a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in 2018, she didn’t show up alone. In fact, the whole Perego-Saldaña family had a day out in the California sunshine. Zoe, her husband — Italian artist Marco Perego — and their three children joined the ceremony too.
While it was a family day, luckily, Gamora’s dad Thanos stayed away, or else half the universe might have turned to dust. Wait, Thanos did what to Gamora in Avengers: Endgame?
Madonna
Some celebrities’ children dream of stepping out on the red carpet like a modern-day debutante. But that wasn’t the case when Madonna took her daughter, Lourdes Leon, to the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Lourdes was left blushing with embarrassment because her mom wore an outfit that showed off her derriere. Daily Mail reported, “The mortified teen was heard pleading: ‘Mum, do you have to?!’ every time her popstar parent struck a pose and poked out her posterior for the waiting cameras.
Matt Damon
Matt Damon keeps his private life super secret and often employs the spycraft he learned playing Jason Bourne to keep his family away from media attention. So, the Boston native caused a wicked stir when he took most of his family to the premiere of Air (2023).
Joining Matt on the carpet were his wife, Luciana Barroso, and their three daughters, Isabella, Gia, and Stella. But, that’s not the whole clan. Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage, Alexia — whom Damon counts as his own — also showed up.
Angelina Jolie
The whole Jolie-Pitt clan escorted Angelina Jolie to the 2021 premiere of Marvel’s Eternals. The actress a strapless Balmain dress with some vintage Tiffany & Co. jewelry. But, can you believe her kids wore their mom’s hand-me-downs to save money? Yes, it’s true, folks… even multimillionaire Angelina Jolie recycles!
Jolie told Entertainment Tonight, “We did all vintage and upcycled my old stuff.” Zahara wore the Elie Saab dress her mom wore to the 2014 Oscars, while Shiloh sported an upcycled mom’s beige Gabriela Hearst dress.
Salma Hayek
Angelina Jolie wasn’t the only Eternal to bring her kids to the premiere of Chloe Zao’s Marvel superhero flick. Salma Hayek’s daughter accompanied Mom to the 2021 Eternals first showing in Los Angeles.
Starstruck teenager Valentina Paloma Pinault got to walk the red carpet with her mom and the rest of the cast — including Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, and Lauren Ridloff — ahead of the much-anticipated but ultimately disappointing world premiere. Salma said she took Valentina along to see for herself that she could achieve anything if she puts her mind to it. Yeah, easily said when you have superpowers, Mom!
Machine Gun Kelly
Speaking of daddy-daughter dates, while Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox first stepped out on the red carpet debut as a couple at the 2020 American Music Awards, MGK brought a different date the following year.
The lucky lady was his adorably cute 12-year-old daughter, Cassie Coulson Baker, who absolutely rocked it in an elegant long black halter dress designed by Valentino. Casie proved to be a good luck charm as MGK took to the stage to accept the award for Favorite Rock Artist.
Reese Witherspoon
When Reese Witherspoon went to see Sing 2 in 2021, she took along her then-husband Jim Toth and children — Ava, Deacon, and Tennessee. Jim is Tennesee’s dad, while Ava and Deacon are Reese’s children from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe. Doesn’t Ava look just like her mom?
Sadly, in March 2023, Reese and Jim announced they were splitting up. They wrote on social media, “We have some personal news to share… It is with a great deal of care and consideration that we have made the difficult decision to divorce.”
Matthew McConaughey
Ever since making headlines back in 1999 for playing the bongos in the nude, Matthew McConaughey has kept his private life away from media attention. The Interstellar actor has kept his family out of the limelight for years, but in 2021, the clan made a splash on the red carpet.
MattMac brought his wife, gorgeous Brazilian model Camila Alves, and three kids — Levi, Vida, and Livingston — to the Sing 2 premiere. McConaughey wrote on Instagram that the night out was a beautiful “family affair.”
Tyrese Gibson
Singer and Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson was anything but furious when the doting dad and his delightful daughter, Shayla Somer, attended the 2015 American Music Awards. Shayla had a fantastic time schmoozing with stars like Taylor Swift and One Direction. But, star-studded events are not the only way Tyrese spoils his daughter.
At the event, a reporter asked Gibson about the most lavish or over-the-top gift he’d given or received. “Well, I just bought my daughter an island,” he said. Called Love Island, its location is top secret.
Courteney Cox
Surprisingly, Courteney Cox didn’t bring any of her Friends to the 2023 Scream VI premiere. Instead, her date was her 18-year-old daughter, Coco Arquette, who she shares with ex-hubby and ex-Scream co-star David Arquette. Mom and daughter held hands on the red carpet.
Coco wore a red maxi dress, while evergreen Courteney wore a black dress under a velvet blazer and high heels. Can you believe Courtney Cox is 59 in this photo? She doesn’t look a day over 30!
Daniel Craig
Daniel Craig is as hard to pin down as his ears are to pin back. In 2021, he made his last outing as James Bond. But just one year later, the English actor was back as Detective Benoit Blanc in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The super-private star was seen again at the film’s premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
Instead of taking his wife, actress Rachel Weisz, Craig unveiled his 18-year-old daughter, Ella Loudon, who he shares with his ex-wife — Scottish actress Fiona Loudon. Ella is following in her mom and dad’s footsteps by treading the boards and the red carpet.
Serena Williams
Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian brought their four-year-old daughter, Olympia, to the 2021 premiere of King Richard. The film is a biopic about Serena and Venus’ father, Richard, and how he overcame poverty and racism so his daughters could go on to dominate women’s tennis.
Serena and her mini-me fashionista daughter Olympia wore matching outfits — black bodysuits with a pair of thigh-high boots, one of which was decked out in silver jewels. Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian looked dapper in a white-button down suit and black jacket.
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
In 2016, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds introduced the world to their two daughters for the first time as the Deadpool actor received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ryan told Blake, “You are the best thing, the best thing that has ever happened to me — second only to this star.”
Then the funnyman continued, “You make everything better, absolutely everything in my life better. You’ve made me the father of my dreams when I thought I only had fun uncle potential.”
Courtney Love and Frances Bean Cobain
Courtney Love and Frances Bean Cobain attended the Saint Laurent show as part of the Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2018 in Paris, France. And it wasn’t the first time Frances Bean accompanied her mom to a red carpet event.
Kurt and Courtney took her to the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards when she was a one-year-old baby! Tragically, Kurt passed in April 1994. As a result, Frances Bean was left without her father at a very young age.
David and Victoria Beckham
Power couple David and Victoria Beckham took Romeo, Cruz, and Harper Seven to the premiere of Disney’s Save Our Squad. Well, it’s actually a blue carpet, but who’s squabbling? Mom and Dad got semi-dressed up while the kids rocked a more informal look.
Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, didn’t attend the event as they were probably living it up in California. The show follows David as he returns to his childhood manor of East London to help save an under-14s grassroots group Westward Boys from relegation.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick
In December 2022, Sarah Jessica Parker, husband Matthew Broderick, and the whole family attended the opening night of Some Like it Hot on Broadway together. The glittering event was held at New York City’s Shubert Theater. Mom, Dad, and the kids — James and twins Marion and Tabitha — all look thrilled to be there.
SJP and MB have been together since 1997, and keep their children out of the spotlight. As the kids have gotten older, however, the acting couple has brought their children to events here and there.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade
Cheaper by the Dozen is a film about a couple with 12 children. The story is so rich the movie has been made three times — first in 1950, then again in 2003, and yet again in 2022. Actress Gabrielle Union and ex-NBA star Dwyane Wade only have two kids, but they brought Zaya and Kaavia James to the premiere of Mom’s 2022 version.
Hollywood’s hottest and most wholesome celebrity couple, Gabrielle and Dwyane, should have a baker’s dozen of kids. So-called because bakers used to make batches of 13 in case one loaf burned, so watch this space!
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
All Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is you-uuuuu, but all her kids want is to look utterly adorbs on the red carpet. The festive warbler and her ex-hubby Nick Cannon took their twins Monroe and Moroccan to the 2018 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards…
Since then, Masked Singer host Nick Cannon has welcomed 10 more children. Yes, you read that right — 10 more children! Their names are Golden, Powerful Queen, Zion Mixolydian, Zillion Heir, Zen, Legendary Love, Onyx Ice, Rise Messiah, Beautiful Zeppelin, and Halo.
Ben Stiller
Funnyman Ben Stiller brought his 16-year-old daughter, Ella Olivia, to the 2019 Golden Globe Awards. And Ella is well-trained as she gushed about her dad’s latest directorial offering, Showtime drama Escape at Dannemora.
Ella was ecstatic to be her dad’s plus one, telling reporters, “It’s exciting […] I’m proud. I’m so proud of him!” Ella has become her dad’s go-to date in recent years, with the pair stepping out on the red carpet many times together.
Ciara and Russell Wilson
While some celebrity parents like keeping their kids out of the limelight, others thrust them into the spotlight at an early age. NFL quarterback Russell Wilson and his superstar singer wife Ciara brought their children, Future Zahir Wilburn and Sienna Princess, to the 2019 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Sports Awards.
At the time, Sienna was just two! The kids will surely follow in their parents’ footsteps. The question is — will Future Zahir Wilburn be a quarterback and Sienna Princess a singer, or the other way around?
Tina Fey
Uber-talented actress, writer, comedian, Saturday Night Live head writer, and all-round funny woman Tina Fey stepped out with her daughter, nine-year-old Alice Richmond, to the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 2014.
Fey won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series two years earlier for playing Liz Lemon in 30 Rock. While Tina was not nominated in 2014, she and Alice had a lovely night out on the town.
Lenny Kravitz
20 years ago, Lenny Kravitz brought daughter Zoë to the 2000 Grammy Awards. Fast forward two decades, and here are the gorgeous father and daughter pair attending Saint Laurent’s Fall 2020 show. All grown-up, Zoë is a star in her own right, playing Catwoman in 2022’s The Batman.
And with those genes, it’s no wonder Zoë became a talented actress. Apparently, when her dad asked her, “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” Zoë replied, “If it leads to the red carpet!”
Kate Moss
Lila Grace Moss Hack accompanied her mom, legendary English supermodel Kate Moss to New York’s 2022 Met Gala. Lila’s dad is editor and co-founder of Dazed magazine, Jefferson Hack, which is a pretty ironic surname for a journalist!
He split up with Kate shortly after Lila’s birth, silly boy! Lila — who suffers from Type 1 diabetes — has followed in the footsteps of her legendary mom by becoming a model. And don’t they both look divine?
Blythe Danner
Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow’s mom, Blythe Danner, is also an actress? Here, the pair of thespians walk the red carpet to go and watch the Los Angeles premiere of mom’s new film, I’ll See You in My Dreams.
Gwyneth’s late father, Bruce Paltrow, was a film and TV director and producer. With those genes, it’s no wonder Gwyneth is always walking the red carpet. She won an Oscar for starring in Shakespeare in Love when she was 26.
Britney Spears
Britney accompanied her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston Federline, on the blue carpet to the premiere of The Smurfs 2. And she even wore a curve-hugging blue (well, turquoise) Herve Leger dress to fit in with the little Belgian critters. The Smurfs that is — not Sean and Jayden.
Britney and the boy’s dad, Kevin Federline, had many custody battles since they divorced in 2007 but Sean and Jayden have grown into fine, well-adjusted young men. So, there’s no need for them to sing the blues!
Jason Momoa
In 2022, Jason Momoa brought his two teenagers to the premiere of his fantasy movie Slumberland. If you haven’t seen it, imagine Finding Nemo but with humans. He shares daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf with his ex Lisa Bonet.
Lola joined Aquadad for an E! News interview, saying, “It was incredible. Me and my friends choreographed a dance routine to “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa, and my dad loved the dance, so he put it in the movie.”
Seal
Seal attended the 2021 premiere of African American cowboy film, The Harder They Fall. The English singer was there to perform his song, “Ain’t No Better Love” from the film’s soundtrack. And there was no better love than the love between Seal and his stepdaughter Leni Olumi Klum, when they stepped out on the red carpet.
Seal and Heidi Klum have four children, while Leni is from Heidi’s previous relationship with F1 team manager Flavio Briatore. Seal adopted Leni in 2009.
Lil’ Kim
Rapper Lil’ Kim must have had a plus two to 2019’s star-studded BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, Georgia. She didn’t only bring her daughter Royal Reign; she also brought her BFF. Tiffany Panhilason is one of Kim’s co-stars on the VH1 reality TV show Girls Cruise.
For the special night, Royal Reign was dressed in Burberry from head to toe while her mom wore a metallic stunning pink dress by Dapper Dan x Gucci to go with her pink hair. And speaking of pink…
Pink
Singer-songwriter and acrobat Pink, her motorbike racing hubby Carey Hart and their children, Willow and Jameson, were spotted on the red carpet at the 2019 Country Music Association Awards. Their eight-year-old daughter Willow wore a lovely dress decorated with horses and showed off her rock moves in some stompolicious, steel-capped boots.
Three-year-old Jameson dressed as a future Country and Western music star in a mini 10-gallon hat and cowboy boots. Mom also took Willow and Jameson to the 2023 iHeartRadio Icon Awards, where the kids stole the show.
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
When she’s not tinkling piano keys, Alicia Keyes and her record producer husband, Swizz Beatz, are taking their son to The Black Ball Charity Gala. The fundraiser raises money for Alicia’s Keep a Child Alive Foundation, which helps children with HIV.
The annual event took place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in “New York, New York… concrete jungle where dreams are made of.” The handsome family cut a fine trio, and Alicia dazzled in a red dress to match the carpet.
Ellen Pompeo
Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo brought her daughter, Stella Luna Pompeo, to the 2018 premiere of Ava DuVernay’s A Wrinkle in Time at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theater. Stella gets her style from her record producer dad, Chris Ivery.
While mom did her best to blend in with her surroundings by wearing a chic belted red jumpsuit by Cienne, young Stella rocked a fabulous rainbow-colored skirt, sneakers, and a black leather jacket. It turns out Stella is just too cool for school!
James Marsden
Instead of bringing his girlfriend to the 2017 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Westworld actor James Marsden took his teenage son Jack on a father-son date. And doesn’t Jack look the spitting image of his dad… but blonder? Much, much blonder.
At the time, Marsden was dating British singer-songwriter Emma Deigman, aka Edei, and told reporters, “We’re excited. I’m just trying to keep up with him, the dress, the attire; he wears things I can’t.” But in April 2023, 49-year-old Marsden was spotted out and about with 26-year-old model Kelsey Merritt.
Jessica Simpson
In October 2017, Jessica Simpson and her five-year-old daughter, Maxwell Johnson, stole the show at the Princess Grace Awards Gala in Hollywood. The proud mom and daughter duo met Princess Charlene of Monaco, whose mom, Grace Kelly, the event is named after.
Maxwell presented Princess Charlene with a bouquet of flowers and got a hug as her mother looked on smiling. Maxwell wore a super cute bright red dress, while Jessica wore a black polka dot dress with ruby red shoes to compliment her daughter’s dress.
Ashlee Simpson
Jessica Simpson’s little sister, Ashlee Simpson, and husband Evan Ross showcased their two children at the 2017 American Music Awards. Daughter Jagger Snow was presumably named after Rolling Stone Mick Jagger. Son Bronx Wentz is from Ashlee’s previous relationship with ex-husband Pete Wentz. Like Brooklyn Beckham, he might have been named after the part of New York where he was conceived.
In October 2020, Ashlee added another babe to her growing brood. She welcomed a son, who the couple named Ziggy Blu, presumably named after David Bowie and one of his eyes.
Jamie Foxx
Beloved actor, comedian, and musician Jamie Foxx took his two daughters, aspiring model and actress Corinne Foxx and Annalise Bishop, as his dates to the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2020.
The Ray, Collateral, and Django Unchained star keeps his private life ultra-secret, but he was rumored to be dating Katie Holmes for six years from 2013 to 2019. Jamie first became a father with his ex Connie Kline in 1994. At the time of the photo, Corinne was 29, and Anelise was 14.
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott brought all five of their children to the world premiere of Jumanji: The Next Level. Tori is the daughter of hugely successful TV producer Aaron Spelling and former Beverly Hills, 90210 star — while Dean is a Canadian actor. Tori, Dean, and their brood even had their own reality show at one point.
Tori posted on Instagram, saying, “Had such a fun family movie night at the premiere of Jumanji 2 […] Liam got to meet his hero Danny De Vito.” Unfortunately, Tori and Dean have since split. According to sources, Tori has been spotted living out of an RV along with her five kids.
Tim Burton
Like one of his film characters, Tim Burton rarely goes out in sunlight but made a super rare red carpet appearance with his and Helena Bonham Carter’s son Billy Ray and daughter Nell at the 2021 Rome Film Festival.
Tim was there to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for making great films like Batman, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hollow, and Big Fish, and err… Planet of the Apes. Tim, Billy Ray, and Nell weren’t the only ones to grace Rome Film Fest’s red carpet. The Burton trio was joined by their dog, Levi.
Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler took their children, then-nine-year-old Max Liron Bratman and then-two-year-old Summer Rain Rutler, to the 2017 premiere of The Emoji Movie. Xtina had Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman while she shares Summer with Matthew Rutler.
The appearance marked the first time the family walked a red carpet together, and the kids sported emojis on their clothes. The Beautiful singer has been engaged to Rutler since 2014, but they still haven’t tied the knot.
Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian
Musician Travis Barker became part of the Kardashian-Jenner clan by marrying Kourtney Kardashian, and the couple brought almost the entire family to the 2022 Hulu premiere of The Kardashians. Kourtney shares Mason, Penelope, and Reign with her ex Scott Disick, while the Blink-182 drummer shares son Landon Asher and daughter Alabama Luella with ex-model Shanna Moakler.
Here, the beautifully blended family is only missing Mason and Penelope. When interviewed, they said they were waiting for the show to hit TV screens.
Puff Daddy
Puff Daddy took his daughter, Chance, to the 2022 Academy Awards. 15-year-old Chance exuded elegance in a classy white, bejeweled dress with sparkly trimmed sleeves. Diddy told Entertainment Live, “She’s an inspiring actress, and we get to have a date, and I’m just so excited, and I’m just so stunned.”
Diddy added, “I’m at a loss for words, so I’m blessed to be here. I’m presenting tonight, and we’re having a good time […] I’m dealing with daddy emotions.” Awww, bless him.
Drew Barrymore
Drew Barrymore brought her youngest daughter, Frankie Kopelman, to the 2017 Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s annual Bunny Hop in New York City. And two-year-old Frankie made the cutest date ever as she and her mom held hands on the red carpet and posed with the Easter Bunny.
Posing with the giant rabbit was nice because little Frankie wore the Easter Bunny’s brother as a coat. Only kidding, there wasn’t a gray hare in sight… apart from on mom’s head.
LeBron James
LeBron James might be able to squish you like a bug under his size 15 Air Jordans, but he’s really a big softie. The NBA star married his high school sweetheart, Savannah, and treats their kids like royalty.
After all, his nickname is King James. LeBron brought all three kids to the 2023 Espy Awards. LeBron and Savannah have two older boys — LeBron “Bronny” James Jr. and the gladiatorial-sounding Bryce Maximus. While Zhuri is the most recent addition to this royal family.
40+ Celebs Who Had Both Blonde and Brunette Hair, and We’re Genuinely Debating Which We Prefer
Zendaya
Zendaya flabbergasted and wowed many when she shared photos on Instagram of her beautiful new hairstyle, which included blonde hues, in 2022. Most followers unanimously agreed that, although Zendaya seldom dabbled in blonde, she had got her hair coloring right this time.
The young actress is a natural brunette and usually wears her hair long, although lately, she’s favored shorter styles. Named by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2022, she’s clearly made an impact with her dark locks.
Emma Stone
Over the years, we’ve become used to Emma Stone heading to the salon for her new roles. She’s a natural blonde, and it was good to see her returning to her roots for her role in The Favourite in 2018.
A year later, it was back to brunette in Zombieland. Honestly, Stone rocks any hair color and looks stunning in any attire, whether watching baseball games or appearing at movie premieres. Although, it’s a good thing that it was a black-and-white wig in Cruella, right?
Millie Bobby Brown
Recently, we’ve seen a complete transformation in the teen star of Stranger Things. She blew us away when she appeared on the red carpet for the season four premiere last year, sporting platinum extensions with her trademark bangs, looking gorgeous and sophisticated.
Au natural, much like her name, Millie Bobby Brown is a brunette. Thrown into the limelight at age 12, she sported her dark brown color for years in several cute styles. As she develops her style as a Gen-Z icon, who knows which shade she’ll eventually choose as her signature color.
Hailey Bieber
Model, actor, and socialite, Hailey Bieber has donned different shades of blonde over the years. Hailey’s hair has ranged from golden to platinum to bleached, but she’s always been a striking blonde bombshell nevertheless. She’s kept her beauty routine simple: smokey eyes, minimal foundation, and pouty lips.
Bieber intermittently chooses to go brunette, sometimes a deep chocolate brown, as she did in her early teens and then again more recently. She looks particularly glam in her dreamy brown look, and when it comes to her hair, she seems to enjoy changing things up a bit.
Kim Kardashian
When you’re a Kardashian, jumping between blonde and brunette seems to be a thing. Kim even changes her color from one day to the next. Keeping her stylist busy, she reported that it once took 14 hours to dye her hair blonde after a stint with brown!
Her original deep brown hue is back again. She always appears comfortable wearing the classic brown ombre look, and according to hairstyle experts, this is because the shade enhances her features and skin tone. Her darker hair means brighter clothes and sensational make-up.
Rihanna
Rihanna keeps us guessing! Her original color change to blonde in 2009 was quite dramatic, as was the cut. She changes her color regularly but has often returned to blonde in curly wavy ‘dos or long, sleek styles, and don’t forget her sweeping bangs!
The multi-award-winning singer is successful on every front. Rihanna continues to reinvent her style, her look is flawless, and she nails it as a brunette! We’re left wondering if there’s any look she can’t do. Rihanna… always ready to “Take a Bow.”
Dua Lipa
Another pop star who frequently changes her hair color is Dua Lipa. As recently as the 2022 Grammy Awards, she stunned all with spectacular blonde hair that had fans gobsmacked as she owned the red carpet.
When Lipa reverts to her original brunette roots, she still looks spectacular. Her upward trajectory as a singer and increase in fanbase will ensure that we’re likely to be treated to many other hairstyles and colors from Lipa in the future.
Selena Gomez
She’s been a household name since she first appeared on our TV screens in Barney and Friends back in 2002, but Selena Gomez first shocked us by turning blonde in 2017 and again in 2021. However, the pop star’s summery look doesn’t ever last for long.
Gomez always returns to her warm brunette look, and she seems to be most comfortable in this color. Whether it’s up-styles, casual loose ‘dos, or cute bobs, she’s a stunner! In the end, she can afford to do whatever makes her happy, right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker, a vintage actress, will always be fondly remembered as playing the role of blonde Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. This iconic role has forever etched her image into our memories, and it’s difficult seeing her with any other shade of hair.
Nevertheless, she felt the need to experiment and has changed to brunette on more than one occasion. Whether her hair was long or short, blonde or brunette, Parker has made an impact. Ah, nostalgia; it’s time to rewatch some Sex and the City again!
Billie Eilish
A natural blonde, we’ve seen Billie Eilish don many other colors, including luminous green, which is her statement color. She’s often returned to blonde as she feels she doesn’t stand out as much in a crowd as a blonde. That’s true.
In her quest to blend in, Billie has also experimented with being a brunette. However, being so talented and recognizable means that just changing your hair color to standard colors may not be sufficient to allow you to fly under the radar easily.
Sofia Richie
With an Instagram following of nearly 8 million, Sofia Richie is a rising social media celebrity. Although she’s a natural brunette, people have quickly noticed when she’s experimented with different shades of blonde. The shades of blonde have been blended and generally subtle.
Despite loving being blonde, there always seems to be a remnant of the brunette base for us to be reminded of Richie’s natural color, even if it’s only the roots. When her more natural hair reappears, Richie remains as stunning as ever.
Anne Hathaway
Preferring short to medium-length hair that suits her delicate features, Anne Hathaway has periodically added various shades of blonde and red, whatever seems to grab her fancy. Her change to blonde appeared to be a smooth transition that complimented her natural, beautiful self.
Whatever the hairstyle or color, Hathaway seems not to venture too far away from her original brunette. She prefers mainly subtle color addition that always seems to enhance her natural, classic beauty. She definitely favors staying true to her roots.
Beyoncé
You seriously need to follow Beyoncé’s Instagram page if you’re trying to keep up with her incredible outfits and hair color changes! She loves being blonde and has launched her latest honey-blonde look on this platform. This talented singer really rocks the blonde on stage.
Beyoncé’s hairstylist claims that Beyoncé has been her favorite client for many years as she changes her hair so often. However, she’s spent time enjoying her natural browns and coffee colors. No matter the color, we can always see her “Halo!”
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart, of Panic Room and Twilight fame, has dyed her hair blonde on numerous occasions, most noticeably when she attended the 2021 Film Festival in Venice. She did so sporting strawberry blonde hair, while in 2016 and 2017 she seemed to prefer being a bleached blonde.
Dirty blonde is her natural color, which is basically a mixture of blonde and brunette. While participating in the Twilight film series, she tended to dye her hair darker, to be mostly brunette with some blonde bits. You do what you have to do!
Kylie Jenner
Known to some as “Lip Queen”, the youngest of the Kardashian clan is addicted to changing her hairdos and color. From platinum to honey shades, Kylie has always turned to blonde for a radical change to her look. Being a style icon must be hard work!
After experimenting with a host of other hues, when she returns to her naturally dark brown hair, Jenner looks like a whole different person. In high-buns and other up-styles, loose, curly, or straight, natural is a popular color with her numerous fans.
Lucy Hale
A natural brunette, Lucy Hale started experimenting with dying her hair when she was a teenager. For her role in the 2021 TV series Ragdoll, Hale’s character, Detective Constable Lake Edmunds, had dyed her hair blonde in places. The result was strawberry blonde and brunette hair.
It’s sometimes hard to keep up with the changes to Hale’s hair. Some of her experimental shades have included very dark, almost black hair, while she’s also added some pink or blonde color to increase her hair’s variety and contrast.
Cara Delevingne
As a model and actress, Cara Delevingne’s face has been plastered across billboards and magazine covers around the globe. Almost everyone’s familiar with her platinum-blonde hair and dark brows. Recently dabbling in honey-blonde as her hair color of choice, she’s surprised many.
The biggest surprise of all came when she emerged as a darker brunette. She’s undergone some transformation, with some even saying she’s unrecognizable. However, what’s clear is that Cara Delevingne can rock any color she chooses!
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid rose to fame as a blonde model with her golden mane as her signature look. Unbelievably, she started her career at the tender age of two years old and starred in many campaigns for Guess clothing company until she had to start school.
Recently, her hair returned to the dark side and revealed her natural brownish color. At the time, some called the supermodel the spitting image of a young Brigitte Bardot, while others were more taken with a newer shade she chose, called “Expensive Brunette.”
Lily James
A popular actress who’s also a chameleon when it comes to her hair color, Lily James looks amazing in bombshell blonde, as it naturally complements her pale complexion. She’s portrayed numerous blondes in her movies and TV series, Pamela Anderson being the latest.
The minute we get used to her as a blonde, James changes back to shades of her natural brunette self. All the bleaching and then dyeing back to brown makes taking care of her hair a high-maintenance activity!
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is one of those fortunate actresses to be blessed with blonde-brown hair, which means she can change from blonde to brunette, and back again, effortlessly. Blonde does seem to suit her skin tone and with it swept up off her face, she’s the picture of elegance.
As a brunette, she’s equally as striking and she’s been known to wear her hair in natural curls with bright red lipstick. The combination looks great and proves that Johansson can pull off any color and any ‘do.
Shakira
We all recognize this Colombian singer, dancer, and songwriter with her blonde tresses and hips that don’t lie! In fact, most of the photos we’ve seen of Shakira since she shot to fame have been with her signature blonde look. Consistency has been key.
Shakira hasn’t always been blonde. She’s brunette by birth and was persuaded to dye her hair blonde at the start of her career to give her a more desirable appeal. Her darker hair does change her appearance, and she’s admitted to missing the color.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has been blonde since 2012, after years as Hannah Montana. Contrary to popular belief, Cyrus wasn’t blonde at the time but merely wore a blonde wig. After her departure from the show, she changed her hairstyle and color dramatically and has been blonde ever since.
Cyrus rocked life as a brunette in her younger days, and there’s been talk of her returning to the hair color of her youth. However, so far, there’s no sign of that happening. The singer-songwriter has been more focused on her career, and there’s been little drama in recent times.
Elizabeth Olsen
An actress and younger sister to equally famous twin sisters, Elizabeth Olsen has starred as Wanda Maximoff in Doctor Strange. She’s a natural blonde who’s morphed through different shades over the years but keeps returning to her more subtle shade, similar to that of her sisters.
Olsen has been wearing a darker hue since 2021, much to her fans’ surprise. She’s been brunette before, but we’ve become accustomed to seeing her with fairer hair. She’s experimented with other colors, so it remains to be seen how long she’ll stay a brunette.
Zoë Kravitz
The daughter of musician Lenny Kravitz, Zoë is a multi-talented woman in her own right. Possessing all the grit needed to survive in the entertainment industry, Kravitz decided to ditch her long, dark braids for a more blonde pixie look, attracting compliments and criticism.
As we would all do, she had some doubts at the beginning, as all she’d ever known was brunette. So, it was natural that years later, she returned to this familiar warm color, still with the pixie cut. Will she keep it? That remains to be seen.
Lorde
Unconventional and introspective is how her songwriting has been described, and that’s certainly how you’d also describe Lorde’s fashion sense. She recently made us all fall off our chairs as she debuted her blonde look at the Glastonbury Festival in 2022.
For years, all we’d known was Lorde’s “Royals” slicked-back dark hair tones. Enjoying the gothic style of dressing, dark hair was a more natural look for her. Lately, she’s also discarded the heavy makeup of her earlier years.
Dakota Johnson
Certainly not sporting 50 Shades of Grey in her hair, it may surprise you to read that Dakota Johnson is a natural blonde. In fact, it’s very much a case of like mother like daughter, having actress Melanie Griffith as a mom simply left her no choice.
In 2014, it seemed like Johnson couldn’t decide what she wanted. She turned brunette, then bronde, then blonde, and then chestnut brown, a color that really allows her greenish-blue eyes to pop. For now, she remains a brunette, focusing instead on her acting career.
Kiera Knightley
Who doesn’t love Kiera Knightley in Pirates of the Caribbean? She looked especially beautiful in The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man’s Chest when she featured long dusty blonde hair. It certainly complimented her feisty character!
Years of makeovers for different roles means that her hair has suffered. To much surprise and relief, followers of Knightley are now aware that she often wears wigs to protect her natural brunette locks. When it comes to makeup, Kiera is a firm believer that less is more.
Katy Perry
Over the years, Katy Perry has tried most colors in her hair, but she is, in fact, naturally blonde. Despite this, she still dyes her hair platinum blonde when she wants a lighter look. The ambitious singer’s playful style reminds us never to be surprised by what she serves up next.
Although her song “Dark Horse” may not refer to her mane, Perry has spent a good deal of her life as a brunette, and it’s indeed her signature color. Her sparkly personality helps her get away with any hair color.
Zooey Deschanel
Naturally blonde, Zooey Deschanel has often been called Katty Perry’s doppelganger. Best known for her TV role as Jess in New Girl, she often wears 50s-inspired dresses and flared skirts and has seldom been seen in jeans. She’s not a fan of her blonde era. The brunette Zooey is the Zooey we all know and love.
For most of her adult career, she’s been a dark brunette with bangs and gorgeous big blue eyes. She loves the comedy genre, but as far as her hair color goes, she’s serious about brown!
Emily Blunt
This award-winning actress emerged as a blonde bombshell during the Paris Fashion Week in 2015, looking as gorgeous as ever with curly waves in her hair. She had dyed her hair blonde as a teen but doesn’t have fond memories of her lemon-juice-colored cut.
Emily Blunt loves to experiment with her shade and style of brown hair. Just like the roles she plays, the styles are all very different, but she pulls off every one of them like the star she is!
Blake Lively
Although her signature hair color is blonde, Blake Lively has dyed her hair nearly every other natural color. The mother of three and star of Gossip Girl changes her hair color just for fun and sometimes for roles, and her fans have come to expect the unexpected.
Lively coined the term “bronde” to describe her particular shade of light, golden brown hair, and it really fits. As a bronde, there’s a little more warmth in the tones of her hair which compliments her elegance and glamor.
Miranda Kerr
Supermodel, Miranda Kerr, has come a long way since her rise to fame in 2007 as Australia’s first Victoria’s Secret model. She’s sported some astounding hairdos in her time, with an array of hues, but she always looks impressive when she adopts a cheerful blonde look.
Kerr is passionate about anything organic after growing up in a small country town in Australia. She loves her chocolate-brown hair, which she lifts with some golden and honey highlights. More than just a pretty face, she’s the CEO of her own organic skincare business.
Rachel McAdams
The Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, famous for her roles in films including Mean Girls and Doctor Strange, has naturally curly blond hair. Over time she’s experimented with other colors. McAdams’s sister Kayleen, a make-up artist, is her make-up and beauty advisor.
Films, such as the 2009 Sherlock Holmes and Disobedience, released in 2017, demanded that McAdams acquire dark brunette hair. Her darker hair had a warm, rich look, apt for the storyline of these films. Her brunette look never lasts for long, though.
Charlize Theron
A South African actress, Charlize Theron, has worn her blonde hair in a variety of styles, from pixie cuts to bobs and side-swept bangs. She can pull off a range of ‘dos with confidence, mainly due to her perfect oval face.
The jury’s still out on her new dark brown shaggy mullet. While the color emphasizes her blue-green eyes, it’s a bold new look for her. Movie roles have called for dramatic changes in the past – we’ll know soon enough how long the new color lasts.
Emma Watson
When you think of actress and activist Emma Watson, you think of blonde. Seriously, this is the color everyone remembers and identifies her with. She’s starred in an amazing variety of films and stands boldly for women’s causes. She’s talented, intelligent, and beautiful!
Watson started making some subtle changes to her hair color, which made the final change to dark brown less shocking for those of us who weren’t quite expecting it. Her sophistication, glamor, and sense of style are ever-present. What more could you want?
Reese Witherspoon
She’ll always be known as Legally Blonde, even though she’s appeared in countless other movies and produced many more. Reese Witherspoon keeps her style simple, fun, and feminine, and when she starts to speak, you can hear that she’s a southern belle at heart.
Of course, when you’re one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, you have the freedom to change from a blonde bombshell to a brunette bombshell! Witherspoon did just that, and boy, did she look fab! It left us asking, is she now legally brunette?
Leighton Meester
At some point, Leighton Meester decided that she needed a complete change and changed from a long-haired brunette into an icy-platinum-haired blonde. The radical change took some getting used to, but she admitted that she wasn’t going for a natural look this time.
Her signature color is definitely brunette and looks great with her floral dresses, slender suits, and pretty jewelry. The Gossip Girl star has developed her own particular style and doesn’t necessarily follow where fashion is taking other stars.
Victoria Beckham
When Posh Spice changed her hair color to a beautiful blonde, it coincided with the family’s move to the USA. More importantly, Victoria Beckham felt like a new woman, or so she said. Perhaps a change was what she really, really wanted!
The British fashion mogul has long been a brunette with iconic glossy dark hair. Other than her hair and her stint in the pop music world, she’s known for her chic style: her statement suits, pencil skirts, and long coats.
Emilia Clarke
Her platinum blonde hair in her portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones is what Emilia Clarke is best known for. In that particular role, the Mother of Dragons wore a wig, but she’d been blonde for some time.
However, Clarke wanted to move on after the end of the series and returned to her natural brown roots. It’s easy to see why she was chosen as Clinique’s first global beauty ambassador. She’s the epitome of a modern woman!
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez is the proud owner of a beauty line of products aptly called J.LO. In 2022, J.Lo married Ben Affleck, to whom she was previously engaged. For the occasion, blonde streaks were applied, resulting in beautiful hair for a beautiful bride.
Is there anyone who can compare to the multi-talented Jennifer Lopez? She’s a multi-award-winning singer, actress, and dancer. It may be hard to remember because J.Lo really loves changing her hair color, but she’s actually a natural dark brunette.
Amber Heard
Yes, Amber Heard has been in the news a lot lately and has earned some bad publicity, but it’s her hair that concerns us. She rocks blonde hair through and through! Her golden locks are her signature, but please don’t utter the words “dumb blonde” within earshot.
While she’s mainly known for her golden locks, Heard stunned all when she debuted her brunette look in 2008. She went for a super dark brown look which accentuated her pale complexion. She’s revisited the look and has gone a shade or two lighter each time.
Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence is another actress who’s made it onto Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People list. The Academy Award winner isn’t afraid to experiment with her roles or her hair color. She’s worn sandy blonde, and platinum blonde, and kept her natural blonde color too.
In her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, she needed to make the change to brunette. Since then, she’s tried a whole range of brown hues and proven that she can pull off sporting any color effortlessly.
Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie loves to wear her blonde hair in a ponytail, and she does this without looking harsh. The Australian actress likes to keep her look simple, whether out and about in Venice Beach or on the red carpet for film premieres.
Being the quintessential blonde doesn’t mean she doesn’t try any other colors. On the contrary, she’s tried the bronde look and has also gone for a darker brown, with fabulous results! Her look is proving popular with other celebrities too.
Florence Pugh
As a young actress, Florence Pugh received high acclaim for her performances in Macbeth and the remake of Little Women. She’s happy to take risks with her general fashion, style, and hair color. Florence looks great in blonde and all its different shades.
She’s also made the change to brunette – a lovely deep chocolate shade. Her appearance is totally different, but it definitely seems to suit her personality and style. It remains to be seen whether she’ll persist with being a brunette or revert back to being blonde.
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz, the iconic blonde, has spent most of her life blonde. The romantic comedy actress has sported many different styles, but always with the same hue. She generally keeps her hair blonde for her film roles, as she’s usually cast as a blonde.
So, you can imagine the gasps as she stepped out with a darker hue in 2006. The fad didn’t last for too long, and she’s gone back and forth between blonde and brunette since then. Still, it does take some getting used to. But we can’t say we’re angry about it – she sure does pull off anything she tries!
For most entertainers, film premieres and charity galas are a chance to promote their latest movie and be seen rocking their best frocks and tuxedos. But for some people, they are an excuse for a family night out. Today, we’ll meet some of Hollywood’s finest actors, actresses, musicians, athletes, and TV personalities who took their children along to red-carpet events. So, get your glad rags on as we meet some celebrity stars and their adorable kids.
