Looking for a complete hair colour change can make a huge (and dramatic) impact on the way you look and feel.

Whether you're a redhead who wants to try her hand at being bleach blonde, or a brunette looking for alternative brown hair colours, we see you, and we hear you.

If you want to take the leap, we've put together some pictures of celebrities who've gone for the colour change for your inspiration.

You may know Em Rata for her signature brown locks but the model-turned-actress is very partial to changing up her style, from a fringe to dramatic wigs...
@emrata / Instagram
...the American star nailed the redhead look as she tested out different styles on her Instagram.
Getty Images
Salma Hayek traded her glossy brunette locks for a new 'do - and we were quite curious to see how it looked...
Rex Features
Salma went full blonde for Paris Fashion Week, and we almost didn't recognise her. Now this might be a wig, because she was back to brunette by the end of the day. Either way, she rocked it - Elle Woods would be proud.

Getty Images
Emma Roberts is a total colour chameleon when it comes to her hair. She's most notably been blonde and a redhead before...
Getty Images
And now she has gone brunette! She could get away with anything.
Getty Images
GIRLS star Allison Williams has sported glossy brunette locks throughout her time on the show...
Getty Images
... but since the show ended, she has experimented more with her hair. We think this new blonde look works so well with her skin-tone. Let's face it - Allison could get away with anything!

Rex Features
The ever-gorgeous Olivia Wilde is usually recognised by her glossy brown locks...
Rex Features
... but she recently went for it with an extreme hair colour and style swap! Olivia has ditched the brunette look in favour for an icy blonde hue with dark roots, and has chosen to sport a bob.
Rex Features
The gorgeously great Brie Larson has recently rocked a brunette dye with hints of red...
Rex Features
But now she's BLONDE! It's a bold colour swap for the star, but one we think she totally rocks.

Getty Images
Model Coco Rocha has always stunned as a sultry brunette, but recently she decided to find out if blondes really do have more fun...
Getty Images
This blunt bleach blonde bob is definitely a dramatic change. We think Coco looks gorgeous!
Rex Features
Another star who has swapped his brown locks for blonde is Orlando Bloom...
Rex Features
Just check out his lighter 'do. What do you think?

Rex Features
Demi Lovato's gorgeous dark bob was certainly one of the singer's iconic looks, but Demi just shared a photo of a new daring look...
Rex Features
Demi has gone blonde, although it is not the first time that the singer dyed her hair, it was quite a surprise to her fans that loved the new golden long locks.
Rex Features
Kylie Jenner went bold when she dyed her hair peroxide during fashion month and although we liked it, it's her new hair colour we're really loving...
kyliejenner/Instagram
...Nice, don't you think? The rose gold should definitely stay.

Xtina/Instagram
Christina Aguilera has been a brunette or redhead for a while now...
Xtina/Instagram
... and yet she recently revealed this bleach blonde look, which gave us all the early noughties nostalgic feels.
Rex Features
Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner has always been a gorgeous redhead...
Rex Features
... but recently she shocked us all by going blonde! We can't wait to see more pictures of her new look, but we reckon she looks ultra cool.

Rex Features
We've always loved Kate Mara's short locks, whether she styles them into a super short pixie cut or a bob...
Rex Features
... and she recently mixed things up by dying her locks blonde. Obsessed? Us? Maybe...
Getty Images
We love Daisy Ridley and her luscious brunette locks...
Getty Images
...but it turns out she looks just as stunning as a redhead.

Getty Images
Sophie Turner is famous for her fiery red hair in Game of Thrones...
sophiet/Instagram
...but she's only gone and dyed her hair blonde, which seems more Daenerys than Sansa.
Michelle Keegan is simply stunning, and we've always recognised her as brunette...
... but she's recently taken the plunge and gone bright blonde! This is definitely a major change for her, but why has she decided to swap shades now? It seems the style might just be for a role, as she was spotted on set with her new locks on the set of Tina And Bobby.

Getty Images
Game Of Thrones star Maisie Williams looks super cute and cool with her brunette choppy bob...
PA Photos
.. but she recently showed off her new look at the Serpentine Summer Party. We love this daring new glossy navy shade.
Rex Features
Actress Lily Collins has always rocked a dark brunette hairstyle, which she often likes to style into vintage waves...
Rex Features
... but now she's taken a walk on the wild side and dyed her locks a vibrant shade of red-pink. We think this shade looks incredibly eye catching and stunning on her!

Getty Images
Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell has rather enviable locks. Her glossy brunette hair is long, shiny and gorgeous...
Getty Images
... and she's now taken the plunge and gone blonde! We think she looks utterly gorgeous.
Getty Images
We've always known Lana Del Rey as a redhead since she rose to fame.
Getty Images
She has just shown off a new look though, in the form of this blonde dye. We can't wait to see how she styles it on the red carpet.

Rex Features
Lady Gaga's hair is ever-changing, but we're most used to seeing her with her signature blonde locks (in many different styles...)
Rex Features
Yet lately, she mixed things up with this brunette dye - we wonder if it's a wig or something a little more permanent!
Rex Features
We love a bit of Nick Grimshaw, and are so used to his signature spiky locks in a darker hue...
Getty Images
... WOW - just look at how different his hair looks here! The Radio host debuted a very bright new look via his social media, much to the surprise of his many fans and followers. He's since shown it off on the red carpet.

Rex Features
Here's Cate Blanchett looking chic at the 2016 Oscars with her bright blonde short hair...
Rex Features
... wow - this is a change! The actress is rocking a rose gold pastel look now, and we love it. It's eye-catching and fun.
Rex Features
Kaia Gerber is a natural brunette and her hair is silky, shiny and downright gorgeous. But she fancied being blonde for the day...
Kaia Gerber/Instagram
Don't worry, 14-year-old Kaia didn't hit the bottle - she donned a blonde wig. You've got to admit though - she looks incredible as blonde AND brunette. Model skills.

Getty Images
The lovely Bella Heathcote looks gorgeous as a blonde...
Getty Images
... but we also love her as a brunette! She recently debuted this darker look, and paired her locks with bold red lipstick.
Getty Images
Recently, Shailene Woodley has been rocking a bright blonde hair hue...
Getty Images
... but she changed it up for the NYC premiere of Allegiant with this dark brunette shade. We envy the gloss and shine of her locks!

Rex Features
Rebel Wilson has been a blonde for as long as we can remember. But recently she debuted a new, very bold look...
Rex Features
Wow - Rebel's gone orange! This rose gold shade is attention-grabbing and vibrant.
Getty
We've always known Kendall Jenner as a brunette, and never really seen her with different coloured hair...
Getty Images
... but recently, at the AW16 Balmain show, Kendall donned a blonde wig for her runway appearance. We think she can get away with both!

Rex
We've known Ashley Olsen as a blonde pretty much her entire life - but recently she debuted a rather different change...
Rex
... and turned brunette! What do you think? We have to admit although we love her blonde locks, this light chocolate brown shade suits her perfectly.
Getty
Orange Is The New Black star Ruby Rose has one of our favourite pixie cuts, and we are very used to seeing it in this brunette shade...
Ruby Rose / Instagram
On her Instagram page, however, Ruby showed off a very vibrant green hue lately. It sure is bold!

Getty
Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale has been as brunette for as long as we can remember...
Lucy Hale / Instagram
But she's recently decided to trial the phrase 'blondes have more fun'! She debuted this gorgeous blonde choppy bob on her Instagram.
Getty Images
Singer Meghan Trainor is known for her signature long blonde locks...
Getty Images
... but at the 2016 pre-GRAMMYs party, she debuted a very different look. Her light brunette curls suit her really well, we think.

Getty Images
Ever since her stint as a blonde in 2015, we've been waiting to see if Kim Kardashian would ever go back to a lighter shade...
Getty Images
... and she hasn't disappointed us! The star donned a blonde 'do (albeit a wig) for Kanye's 2016 fashion show.
Rex Features
Anne Hathaway is known for her signature glossy brown mane...
Anne Hathaway/Instagram
... but recently the pregnant star debuted a blonde shade, much to her Instagram followers' shock! We can't wait to see more pictures.

Getty Images
We;re used to seeing French actress and model Clemence Posey with her gorgeous blonde locks...
Getty Images
But recently, the star decided to try out a brand new hue, opting for this pale brown colour, which has a slight red tinge.
Rex Features
Olivia Palermo is a natural blonde, but she dabbled with being a brunette for a long time. Now though, she's a blonde...
Rex Features
Yep! Sashaying around Couture Fashion Week the style maven hit the cobbles with new blonde hair.

Getty Images
Lily James has dyed her hair a number of shades for various roles but naturally she’s a rich chocolatey brunette. But not anymore...
Getty Images
The actress added a dark blonde tint but managed to keep her hair’s glossy shine. We’re impressed!
Getty Images
We're used to seeing Ellie with her blonde short bob, so the orange tresses were a bit of a surprise!
Getty Images
Woah, Ellie Goulding debuted a bold new 'do at the EMAs. The star opted for bright orange locks, which she paired with a plunging black dress.

Getty Images
Agyness had previously been rocking a darker 'do with hints of red, but she decided she wanted to amp up the blonde...
Rex Features
The model and entrepreneur debuted a lighter hair colour at a screening in London. Her shimmering blonde locks looked great in a pretty tousled style.
Rex
She recently debuted this gorgeous autumn-ready hair colour at her sister's event for Debenhams. It wasn't long, however, until she switched things up...
Rex Features
At the Burberry SS16 show in London, Sienna debuted a gorgeous honey strawberry blonde colour. Suits her, doesn't it?

Rex Features
Katy Perry is known for her thick dark locks, and yet she changes up her look a LOT...
Getty Images
... and this time she's gone red! The star's fiery locks were debuted on the red carpet. We think this look suits her well, and looks great with her green ensemble.
Getty Images
Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss has rocked both blonde and brunette locks but she's gone for something a little different this time...
Getty Images
...Yep, we can't get enough of her warm auburn colour. It really makes her features pop and is perfect for the coming Autumn.

Getty Images
Mena Suvari's famed as the blonde stunner in American Beauty but has gone for a complete 360 with her latest colour...
Getty Images
...She's swapped it for a beautiful, rich brown and we love it.
Getty
This is the Kylie Jenner we know right?! Well...
AKM-GSI
...get used to something a little different. Kylie revealed her new 'do on her 18th birthday and it's certainly different.

Getty Images
Amy Poehler is a renowned blonde, so imagine our surprise when she arrived at Cannes Film Festival 2015 with an altogether new look...
Getty Images
The comedienne showcased her auburn tresses and pulled it off with aplomb.
Getty
Sheridan Smith has never been afraid to experiment with her style, but we're most used to seeing her with a cute blonde crop like this one...
Getty
...So imagine our surprise when the Brit beauty stepped out on the BAFTA red carpet with a cute brunette pixie crop! We love it, Sheridan.

Getty Images
Khloe Kardashian is a natural brunette, but she ever so slightly dabbled with blonde hair when she tried out ombre...
Getty Images
Now, well she's full on blonde! Khloe opted against the white peroxide hair (a la Kim Kardashian at the Balmain show), and instead she went for a Californian sun-kissed look. We love it.
Getty
This is how we know Hilary Duff. She's not a star that changes her hair every week (thank you, Rihanna) so you can imagine our surprise when she debuted her new look...
Rex
Didn't expect that, did you? Somehow, we like it!

Rex Features
Kim as we know her. Tanned, tousled, brunette...
Splash News
Not anymore. Kim K knows how to cause a stir. Revealing this bold new look on the Balmain front row during Paris Fashion Week, the jury's out.

RIP in piece Jared Leto's perfect 'hombre'...
Getty Images
Unveiled during Paris Fashion Week, the 43-year-old actor debuted his peroxide 'do. Admittedly this new look is all for his role as the Joker in the Suicide Squad movie so it may not be a permanent fixture.

Rex Features
Shailene's gorgeous pixie crop has become the actress' signature 'do but it's with delicate honey highlights that we know her best.
Rex Features
Arriving at the Miu Miu show at Paris Fasgion Week in early October 2014 though and Shailene debuted this swept back style with a newly platinum blonde hue.
Rex Features
Since bursting on to the catwalk Suki Waterhouse's hair has been a blend of blonde beach babe meets red carpet goddess. Aside from the tousled aesthetic and the cute little side plaits, it's the choppy in-your-eyes fringe that has spawned a thousand copycats.
Rex Features
So just imagine our surprise when the gorgeous model stepped out with this beautiful dark and moody brunette hue - looking like Lily Collins' sister in the process!

PA Photos
For the London premiere of Maleficent in May 2014, Elle Fanning added an ethereal touch to her gorgeous platinum blonde locks in the form of a mini crown of colour co-ordinated flowers.
Rex Features
Fast-forward to September though and Elle has ditched the long length and opted for this gorgeous mid-length brunette 'do instead.
Rex Features
GLAMOUR went into a frenzy when Jourdan Dunn highlighted her gorgeous Lob with these honey hues but...
Jourdan Dunn/Instagram
The top model has got right on trend with this season's love of Greys and Metallics with a new look. Debuting her hair on Instagram, she captioned the photo "Coachella Ready thank you @rendaattia". So ready.

Dianna Agron's short, dip-dyed honey-hued bob has practically become her signature 'do of late.
Wenn
But on a recent shopping trip out in LA, the former Glee star debuted this hot new platinum blonde 'do. We like!

We've got used to seeing Kate Mara with a beachy blonde shoulder-skimming bob.
Getty Images
But ahead of Autumn, the House of Cards actress has dyed her hair a gorgeous chestnut shade and gone a little shorter.

PA Photos
James Franco's matinee idol good looks are famously topped off with a head of gorgeous brunette locks.
Getty Images
So imagine our surprise when the Hollywood star was snapped with this blonde crop on the set of his new flick Michael.
Rex Features
Olivia Palermo's impossibly thick and naturally lustrous hair has made her one of our longtime hair icons and don't get us started on that rich and glossy chestnut hue...
Getty Images
But since she tied the knot, Olivia Palermo has opted for a summery update to her signature hair with this gorgeous honey-hued colour. We particularly love the choppy face-framing highlights around the front, too.

Rex Features
Since giving birth to her daughter North in June 2013, Kim Kardashian has played around with her hair colour, even experimenting with a richly blonde dip-dye. However, for the last few months, Kim's made a return to her natural raven hue.
Rex Features
But hold up! Just hours after that previous snap was taken, Kim revealed a completely new totally honey blonde 'do. But before you think the reality TV star has hit the bottle again, Kim revealed on Instagram that it was just a wig. Considerate us, fooled!
Rex Features
Whether working deep raven locks or honey highlights, Kristen Stewart never looks more glamorous than when she's wearing her long locks side-swept and wavy.
Rex Features
Having gone red for a film role, Kristen proves her beauty versatility by totally rocking a rich copper hair hue on the Cannes red carpet in 2014. We love this look.

PA Photos
We'd just got used to The Wolf Of Wall Street star Margot Robbie's chocolatey brown locks when...
PA Photos
... She reached for the bottle once again, this time dyeing her hair a rich shade of red. With her warm skin tone and piercing light blue eyes, we'd say this might be our favourite shade on the star to date.
Rex Features
Lily's dark chocolate, glossy locks are her signature style.
Rex Features
But the gorgeous singer recently debuted a brand new style thanks to this strawberry red dip-dye.

PA Photos
Ever since Sophia Bush emerged as feisty Brooke Davis on the TV show One Tree Hill, we've always thought of her as a brunette. Until now...
Getty Images
...Yep, Sophia Bush has hit the (peroxide) bottle. The 31-year-old actress was seen on Extra with a dramatic new hair colour. Like it?
Rex Features
Kate Bosworth is known for a having two different coloured eyes, AND great natural blonde hair. The actress is currently shooting a new film in New York, and on set she revealed a new red hairstyle. Are you ready to see it?
Rex Features
RED HAIR! Kate Bosworth was filming scenes for her new film, Still Alice and she's said goodbye to the blonde, and hello to auburn locks. She teamed her new look with natural make-up and peach lips.

PA Photos
Margot Robbie shot to fame in 2013 thanks to her acting ability in The Wolf Of Wall Street, not to mention her stunning beauty and gorgeous blonde locks. Why mess with tress perfection, right?
PA Photos
Wrong! Margot decided to change up her signature blonde ringlets for the biggest night in Hollywood - the Oscars. The Australian beauty worked a vampy red carpet look consisting of a beaded Saint Laurent black gown, dark crimson lips and a new dark brunette hairstyle. Risqué, yes, but a total winner in our eyes.

Julia Roberts' copper red locks have been her trademark since she first burst on to the scene all those years ago and whilst she’s changed up her look a few times, it’s her flaming red hair that’s her beauty trademark.
INFphoto
Say what?! Just ahead of the 2014 Oscars, nominee Julia Roberts was snapped sporting not those gorgeous long, russet locks but a completely new platinum blonde ‘do. Proving that she’s a hair chameleon, we have to admit, Julia’s owning this new look!

...She swapped back to this chic raven side-swept bob. We can't keep up!

Rex Features
Colour swap alert! We’re used to seeing Emily Blunt as a bold brunette (and more recently with warm auburn locks) but Emily looks just as gorgeous (if not more…) with this sunny golden hair hue. We love her undone up-do, too.

Rex Features

Rex Features
In April 2012, Olivia ditched her signature chocolate hair hue and swapped to this rich, golden blonde. She could work any hair colour, couldn't she?
Rex Features
We’ve become accustomed to seeing Tulisa Contostavlos as pop’s daredevil brunette...
