They say blondes have more fun, but apparently these celebrities were convinced otherwise. Everyone likes to take a walk on the wild side, and these famous few did it by dying their hair red. While it worked better for some more than others, here are some stars that gave red the old college try…

Emma Stone
This star was so convincing with her red hair that many believed it was her natural colour, probably because it matches her fiery personality. Now back to her natural blonde hair, we can’t help feeling a little sad that Emma didn’t rock the red for a little longer.

The Simpsons
You’re probably thinking Marge and Homer, but we’re actually talking about Jessica and Ashlee. Both singing sisters flirted with reddish tones, with Jessica notably dyeing her hair an auburn colour for singer John Mayer, who she was dating at the time. It’s safe to say that colour lasted about as long as that relationship.

Reese Witherspoon
Back before she was getting into minor altercations with police, Reese was briefly spotted walking the line on the red side with a reddish brown ‘do. Apparently the look was a bit too dramatic because she recently returned to blonde.

Rachel McAdams
Apparently she can do no wrong — Canada’s sweetheart has decided to go red, and to no one’s surprise, looks great. To top things off, she was spotted sporting her new red locks while riding a bike around the city. Now all Torontonians can collectively swoon.

Lindsay Lohan
While we can’t deny Lindsay Lohan has had some tumultuous times as of late, we can’t forget the days of innocence that Parent Trap Lindsay offered, in all her redheaded glory. Currently Lindsay is more of a strawberry blonde, so maybe the key to reviving her former movie magic is a return to the red. Fingers crossed.
