Burgundies, sunsets, merlots, and apricots—red hair of all iterations have been a mainstay shade since the start of 2021. And if you thought the red reign was over, think again: Megan Fox is out to reinvigorate the trend. Fox stepped out at an Oscars 2023 afterparty, having traded her raven lengths for a copper cut that fell a few inches past her shoulders, the warming tone setting the bar for prospective red-hair enthusiasts everywhere.

After debating several crimson variants, colorist Jacob Schwartz settled on a deep copper, the color landing between stylized and nearly natural with help from Redken’s new Color Gels Oils. A center part, along with a signature power brow, overlined lip, and flawlessly contoured face, kept the moment distinctively Fox, the new shade serving to set off her features—and mark a new turn. Amid the swirling rumors around her (very public) relationship with Machine Gun Kelly, a solo debut and the makeover to match certainly makes a spit-fire statement.
