To all those dreaming of Emma Stone’s grown-out pixie cut, just wait until you see her “spiced sienna” dye job.
By now, we all know that Emma Stone did not cut her hair off because she was tired of styling it in the morning or restless for change or hoping to highlight her incredible jawline—all of which would have been valid and relatable reasons for such a dramatic chop. In reality, she fully shaved her head for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ newest film, Bugonia, earning herself a seven-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival for her efforts. Okay, they probably weren’t clapping just because she went bald, but her latest hair color by Tracey Cunningham is certainly worthy of applause.
On August 28, the 36-year-old actor debuted a “luminous copper auburn” tone at the Venice Film Festival, which Stone’s longtime hairstylist dubbed “spiced sienna” just in time for PSL season.

“Crafted with Schwarzkopf Vibrance Alkaline Color Gloss, this shade radiates warmth, depth, and glow, perfectly framing her fearless transformation,” Cunningham, the U.S. creative director of color & technique at Schwarzkopf Professional, wrote of Stone’s latest update on Instagram, sharing her exact custom formula for those who are already texting photos of her client to their local color specialists.
Those who frequent salons know that lightening one’s hair is much longer, more delicate process than going in the other direction, and Stone has slowly been making her way back to auburn since switching to a dark brunette shade in the summer of 2024. Back in January, she debuted a nutmeg pixie cut at the Golden Globes, subtly inching closer to this warm copper auburn as her hair grew out.
