In a year marked by unconventional beauty trends ranging from latte-inspired makeup to cinnamon cookie butter hair, the “Cowboy Copper” hair trend has been steadily gaining popularity. Adding her name to the list of trendsetters, Shay Mitchell recently unveiled a bold transformation, embracing the vibrant auburn hue associated with the trend.
Renowned celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos took to Instagram on Tuesday to showcase Mitchell’s stunning hair makeover. The Pretty Little Liars star, aged 36, now boasts voluminous waves complemented by a caption that reads, “Copper Cowboy.”
Giannetos achieved this eye-catching color using L’Oréal Paris’ Superior Preference hair dye in the shade 6R. Mitchell’s overall look was further enhanced by makeup artist Ash K Holm, who crafted a glossy copper lip and taupe smokey eyes to seamlessly complement the new hair color.
Known for his work with A-list clients such as Amal Clooney, Ciara, Gigi Hadid, and Megan Fox, Giannetos frequently collaborates with Mitchell for significant hair transformations. This collaboration follows Mitchell’s recent switch from brunette to the striking auburn shade.
Shay Mitchell isn’t the sole celebrity opting for a red mane this season. Emma Stone, in preparation for the New York City premiere of her latest film, “Poor Things,” transitioned from her natural blonde to a captivating red. Stone’s hairstylist, Mara Roszak, created a “youthful, chic, and casual” updo inspired by Stone’s character and complemented by a flower-adorned Louis Vuitton choker. The actress’s vibrant red hair served as a striking contrast against her custom sheer yellow embellished gown from the same label.
This year witnessed other notable figures embracing red hues. Chrissy Teigen, for instance, showcased a vibrant copper gold shade at Vanity Fair’s Oscars afterparty. Joining the trend, stars like Marsai Martin and Julia Fox declared this summer as the season of Ariel-red hair, further emphasizing the widespread allure of the fiery tones in the world of celebrity beauty.
