Breaking News: Blake Lively Goes Red!

red alert!

Blake Lively goes from blonde to redhead!

Spotted: Blake Lively ditching her blonde locks for a new, reddish hue! The Gossip Girl star stunned at the TIME 100 Gala in New York City Tuesday night, but her gorgeous green Zuhair Murad dress wasn’t the only thing onlookers were talking about. The actress — the new face of Chanel handbags — arrived on the red carpet sporting strawberry-tinged locks. “It’s for the film Hick,” Lively told PEOPLE. “I thought [my character] needed red hair. It helps when you’re playing a role, when I don’t feel like myself. And I don’t really feel like myself with red hair.” Colorist Rona O’Connor transformed Lively’s locks about a month ago, however, the actress managed to fly under the radar following her last public appearance at CinemaCon in early April. So how does she like her new look? “I love it,” she gushed. “I feel like Ariel.”

Stay tuned to Beautylish for insider info about the red hair makeover from Blake Lively's hair colorist, Rona O'Connor of Lukaro in Beverly Hills!

Update: Rona O'Connor reveals the inspiration behind Blake's new hair color and the whole 10-hour process in this exclusive Beautylish interview.
