Sophie Turner names fan-favorite hair color from h…
Sophie Turner is looking back at the many hair colors she has worn throughout her career, revealing which shade gets the most positive reaction from fans.
The 30-year-old actress became internationally famous as Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, a role that transformed her career and made her auburn-red hair one of her most recognizable features. Turner began dyeing her naturally blonde hair red at just 13 after landing the role in 2009. Since then, she has experimented with several different shades, including platinum blonde, auburn and brunette. (People.com)
From natural blonde to Sansa’s signature red
Turner’s hair transformation was closely connected to her Game of Thrones journey. Her natural blonde hair had to be changed to an auburn-red shade for Sansa, creating a look that audiences quickly associated with the character.
Over the years, Turner has spoken positively about the red color because of what it represents in her career. In a previous interview, she explained that the shade was especially meaningful because it was the first major hair transformation she experienced for a professional role. She also associated red hair with the strong characters she had played. (Allure)
However, red is no longer the only color connected to Turner. She has repeatedly returned to blonde, experimented with darker shades and even appeared as a brunette for her upcoming role as Lara Croft in Amazon’s Tomb Raider series. (People.com)
Blonde gets the biggest reaction
In a recent interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Turner reflected on how people respond to her different hair eras.
According to the actress, blonde has received the most positive reactions. Red, meanwhile, can create strong reactions but does not generate them as consistently. She also explained that brunette hair can make her feel more anonymous because people are less likely to recognize her.
The comments show how dramatically hair color can influence the way Turner is perceived. After spending much of her teenage years and early adulthood associated with Sansa’s red hair, returning to blonde has offered her a different sense of identity.
A career defined by transformation
Turner’s changing hair colors have become a visual timeline of her career. From the red-haired Sansa Stark to her blonde looks and latest brunette transformation, each era has accompanied a different stage of her professional life.
While fans may have their own favorite shade, Turner’s latest comments make one thing clear: blonde currently wins when it comes to the most positive public reaction.
