Here's Exactly What Makes Natural Blonde Emma Stone Look *So* Amazing as a Redhead
Marie Claire Image Maker Tracey Cunningham shares how she transforms the most famous locks on the planet.

Celebrity hair sometimes seems like it holds magical properties. One day it's short, the next it's long. One day brunette, the next day blonde. Feats of transformation that seem impossible for mere mortals occur every week for the A-list's boldest members. How do they do it?
The answer is: they don't. Seemingly effortless metamorphoses are actually the ingenuity of star stylists like master colorist Tracey Cunningham, whose A-list clientele includes Cameron Diaz, J.Lo, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Cunningham is the next member of the inaugural class of Image Makers award-winners we'd like you to meet.
We've teamed up with the E! Style Collective to do a series of fun video interviews between the winners and Marie Claire senior fashion editor Zanna Roberts Rassi—here, she chats with Cunningham about how she transformed natural blonde Emma Stone into a fiery redhead, and what makes a new shade look so natural.
Check it out, and stay tuned for more interviews with our fabulous Image Makers!
