Jennifer Love Hewitt has switched up her signature look once again—this time trading in her brunette strands for a striking copper-red hue. The 9-1-1 star revealed the transformation on Instagram on Thursday, May 9, sharing a glowing selfie and expressing her excitement about the change.
“I have wanted to be red for so long!” Hewitt wrote, tagging her longtime colorist Nikki Lee of 901 Salon. “@nikkilee901 crushed this color. She named my color Sunset Lover.”
Lee also posted a behind-the-scenes look at the process, showing Hewitt’s original shoulder-length brown hair with blonde highlights, the custom color mix, and the final result. The new look features a warm, soft red shade, complemented by added length thanks to extensions from Great Lengths.
The makeover quickly earned praise in the comments. Actress Lacey Chabert called the look “Stunning!!” while other fans noted how the color enhances Hewitt’s eyes and complexion. One fan even joked, “I guess I’ll have to match ,” reflecting the overall buzz the transformation is creating.
This is not Hewitt’s first bold hair move. Nearly two years ago, she shocked fans by going blonde. Now, with this copper-red tone, she’s once again showing her versatility—and turning heads in the process.
