The Red Carpet’s Color Standouts

At the Golden Globes, the gowns weren’t the only eyecatching part of the red carpet—the stars’ haircolor was just as brilliant. Four standouts from the evening? Olivia Wilde’s face-framing lights, Bryce Dallas Howard’s copper red, Jenna Dewan-Tatum’s rich chocolate brown and Amy Schumer’s sparkling blonde. Anticipating the soon-to-be high demand for this gorgeous color, we spoke to the stylists behind these stunning manes, Joico Celerity Colorist and Spokesperson Denis de Souza, Goldwell Celebrity Colorist Rona O’Connor and Redken Celebrity Colorist Tracey Cunningham who shared their head-turning formulas.
