Emma Stone, whose vibrant hue has earned her a spot in nearly every “red hair-color inspiration” board on Pinterest, is no longer a redhead.
The 37-year-old actress surprised onlookers as she arrived in the front row of the Louis Vuitton 2027 Cruise Collection show in New York City on Wednesday, sporting noticeably lighter, colder-toned hair.
The Oscar winner has been known for her copper hair since ascending to fame in the early 2000s with roles in romantic comedies like Easy A and Crazy, Stupid, Love.
In March, she arrived at the 2026 Academy Awards with deep auburn color, but on Wednesday, her warm hues were toned down, and her hair was full of thin blond highlights.
Emma Stone’s new bronde hair color stole the show at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2027 show in New York City on May 20.
Now dyed a brown-blonde shade commonly known as “bronde,” her shoulder-length strands were side-parted and styled into soft, beachy waves.

Stone’s pulled-back makeup, created by celebrity makeup artist Nina Park, included a coral-pink lip and cat-eye eyeliner that emphasized her intensely green eyes.
She wore head-to-toe Louis Vuitton with a relaxed button-up cardigan, black trousers, and a monogrammed bag.
Tracey Cunningham, Schwarzkopf Professional U.S. Creative Director of Color & Technique, whose A-list clientele includes Jennifer Lopez, shared on Instagram that she created Stone’s color.
The transformation came in preparation for Stone’s next movie project: The Catch, in which she will star opposite Chris Pine.
