FromBeyoncé’s “sunwashed” shade toSydney Sweeney’sbeach-inspired hue, the celebrity hair color motto this summer seems to be “go blonde or go home.”
The latest star to lean into the trend isEmma Stone, who popped up on her longtime hairstylistMara Roszak’s Instagramwith a dramaticallylighter (and shorter) look.
“I call it ‘super blonde,’ ” says LA-based coloristTracey Cunningham, who has been doing Stone’s color since herSpider-Mandays. “She just shot three huge movies in a row and at some point, you want to look like yourself.”
For Stone, 34, looking like herself means returning to her natural blonde hair color, which doesn’t normally present much of a challenge for Cunningham. But in this case, the actress had been ping-ponging between hair colors due to various movie roles (includingthe upcomingPoor Things, in which she has a nearly black shade).
By the time she was ready to go blonde again, she had a dark red hue with “a lot going on underneath,” says Cunningham. (The last time the actress was out and about wasback in early Juneat Louis Vuitton dinner in Paris, where she had a deep auburn hue.)
The process to take Stone lighter was, well, a process. It began in June when Cunningham spent an entire day bleaching the star’s hair to a nearly platinum color. “We made it so blonde that she actually wanted lowlights in it,” says Cunningham.

Robinson took over the job, giving the star lowlights while Cunningham was on vacation in Europe. Then, about two weeks ago Cunningham touched up the regrowth. The result of the tag-teaming: the bright and beautiful blonde hue shared on Instagram.

“It was cut on a very slight angle, with the front pieces being a touch longer than the rest to create super-subtle dimension,” Roszak shared.
