This bottle-redhead is more famous for her crimson locks than her natural hue. Here, Stone adds some more dimension to her hair with deep brown color at the roots. It's a nice transition for redheads hoping to try a cooler hue.

Rihanna has undergone many style evolutions in her career, but none can hold a candle to the cherry red hue she debuted in 2010. On a head full of curls, here, they look even more dynamic. If you're seeking a brighter hue like this, just ensure that your colorist stocks the right shades to pull it off.

Elson's pallid skin tone and red hair combo have made her resemble a modern day pre-Raphaelite muse. But it's when she turns her gingery hair up to a shiny crimson like this that she looks positively electrifying.
