Tracey Cunningham is the celebrity colorist behind many A-list hair transformations. Remember that time Kim Kardashian went blonde? That was Cunningham. She’s also responsible for Emma Stone’s more recent color swap from red to peroxide blonde, and then back to red again. Naturally, Cunningham also had a hand in many of the looks on the Golden Globes 2024 red carpet at the weekend–and will be tweaking the shade of some of the world’s best-known manes throughout the remainder of awards season.
Here, she shares the details behind three celebrity color transformations, all of them bang on trend for 2024.

“Emma was blonde, I don’t know, about two or three weeks ago? She texted me the day after she did Saturday Night Live and said she wanted to go red. I used Redken’s Shades EQ [a professional hair gloss] on her, because when you’re platinum blonde you don’t need to lift the color, but gloss it. It took us a few times to get it right and I sent her gloss treatments to do at home to keep the hair color rich–I always provide my clients with their own color for home use. Emma didn’t want to go pale red, so we went for a darker red and, alongside Olaplex home treatments which she’s really good at doing, I am going to chelate [removing minerals and other product build-up] her hair and then gloss it for the Critics’ Choice Awards in a couple of weeks–it’ll make the red even more red.”
