Debra Messing was known for her iconic red curls on Will & Grace, but for a while she's been sporting her beautiful deep red locks in a curled blowout.

Hendricks's deep ginger shade is almost as famous as her role as the jewel tone-wearing Joan in Mad Men. Colorist Tracey Cunningham calls Hendricks's shade "a perfect match" to her skin tone.

Want to keep your red around for longer? Try Redken's Color Extend Magnetics Sulfate-Free Shampoo, which uses charged amino-ions that attach to the hair fiber and create a barrier to keep your hair protected and your hair color stable for up to four weeks.

Amy Adams's deep strawberry blonde is proof that red is one of the most versatile hues. Her colorist, Cunningham, says the look was achieved by mixing two shades of red and finishing with a clear gloss for sheen.

In-between appointments, the InStyle editors love using Rita Hazan Ultimate Shine Gloss for a boost of shine and to make the fiery color that much more noticeable.

Moore's velvety cinnamon hue has become her signature color and rarely changes, even for film roles. Colorist Marie Robinson, who works with Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway, likes this pigment for those with yellow undertones. "Just avoid shades that look or sound very orange or copper," she says. "And go to the salon in between touch-ups for a gloss refresher."

Kidman's ethereal apricot blonde requires careful handling. "Don't shampoo every day," Robinson advises. "And avoid using heated styling tools everyday, as they damage the outer layer of hair, causing it to release color molecules."

Your savior? Oribe Gold Lust Dry Shampoo, a formula that soaks up oils fast, blends without leaving behind any white residue, and holds the brand's signature mesmerizing scent.

Emma Stone is something of a hair color chameleon. While she has been known to rock an icy platinum blonde shade, she often returns to this eye-catching and rich ginger hue, which complements her creamy skin tone perfectly.

Sophie Turner

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is actually a natural blonde, if you can believe it, but it sounds like red has made quite the impression on the young star. "I used to think blondes do," she told InStyle in an interview. "But now I think that reds have more fun."

Rihanna

Rihanna's fire-engine red shade is flattering against her caramel skin and amber eyes. Though the color isn't natural, it is a fun foray into red hair dye.
