Jennifer Love Hewitt Can Rock Any Hair Color & These Pics Are Proof

We "Can't Hardly Wait" to see what Jennifer Love Hewitt does next with her hair, because the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "The Client List" actor has proven herself to be a true hair chameleon. Hewitt may be best known for having brunette locks, but, over her decades in the spotlight, she's rocked that and almost every other hue under the sun. She's tried everything from blond, to red, and even hot pink, giving us a masterclass in bold and experimental hair color transformations.

In April 2026, the star admitted on Instagram that she likes to try a new shade every time her show "9-1-1" goes on hiatus, so it makes sense why her mane look book is totally jampacked with gorgeous colors. Luckily for Hewitt (and those who, like us, use her as hair inspo!), she can pull off any color. And these pics prove it.

In 2019, Jennifer Love Hewitt went to the dark side — with a twist. The "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" actor stunned with a wavy lob at PaleyFest LA. The stylish 'do included glossy, cool dark brunette roots, but she kept things a little lighter via her fun and flattering chestnut brown ends for extra dimension. The fun twist on balayage (which is different to babylights and highlights, remember) stopped the dark 'do from washing her out while brightening her fair skin.

Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't just about brown or blond, as she's experimented with power move pink hair at least twice. In 2015, she debuted hot pink highlights in her long brunette locks via Facebook. Five years later, she took things one step further when she added more pink to her sleek lob while stuck inside amid Covid-19 related lockdowns. In the caption of an Instagram upload, she tagged her hairstylist Nikki Lee and quipped, "Don't be mad lol." The outside the box color demonstrated her fun, bold side.

Jennifer Love Hewitt took a walk on the spicy side in May 2025 with red hair. She debuted the fiery shade on Instagram, telling fans, "I have wanted to be red for so long!" as she revealed Nikki Lee had dubbed the vivacious hue "Sunset Lover." Four months later, Hewitt took things one step further for an ABC event. Her eye-catching locks looked even more vibrant as she upgraded to a rich copper hue (which was trending at the time) that brought out the warmth in her complexion.

In 2024, Jennifer Love Hewitt's transformation saw her sport one of her darkest hair colors ever at a "9-1-1" premiere event. Her short, tousled bob was a very dark brown that bordered black on camera. She didn't incorporate obvious highlights, which made the inky hue appear all one color with a slight gloss. She parted her hair in the middle and wore deep red lipstick and fair foundation for one of her most sultry, vampy looks to date.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was a dirty blond balayage dream at a 2018 20th Century Fox event. Her wavy locks were long with mousy brown roots that faded into soft and muted warm blond strands that gave her complexion a healthy glow. The star appeared to mix lowlights and highlights, which ensured her mane had depth and dimension and almost matched her soft brows. Hewitt was 39 at the time, but the forgiving color helped her look years younger.

At a "The Client List" Valentine's Day Event in 2013, Jennifer Love Hewitt was a gorgeous multi-dimensional brunette. The 'do included a mix of red-tinted low and highlights, with both catching the light as she walked the red carpet to create a glamorous glossy effect. The light color with caramel tones was perfect for spring (because it wasn't too light or too dark) and brought out the rich brown in her eyes.

Looking for the ultimate dark chocolate hair with caramel highlights? Look no further than Jennifer Love Hewitt's 2011 InStyle Summer Soiree color. The dark, sophisticated shade had plenty of shine, while the rich brown highlights with deep red undertones looked stunning against her tan skin. The multi-tonal color had plenty of dimension which stopped the actor looking washed out, yet experimenting with unexpected black ends kept her look unique.

Jennifer Love Hewitt rocked one of her blondest looks at the launch of L By Jennifer Love Hewitt in 2014. She mixed cool and warm tones for the multi-dimensional style, which had light blond roots with unblended, dark brunette strands at the bottom that gave us more subtle Christina Aguilera "Dirrty" vibes. The actor appeared to be getting in on 2014's peek-a-boo trend, which saw people dye the underside of their locks a different color to the top.

At the 2001 Teen Choice Awards, Jennifer Love Hewitt had a lot of fun with her hair. She'd dyed her mane a fun chestnut brown with a hint of red all over, which complimented her light pink makeup. The unfussy color kept her look youthful (the actor was in her early 20s at the time) and uncomplicated, while the slight hints of gold in her locks caught the light for a glamorous effect without looking harsh or overdone.

Jennifer Love Hewitt first showed off warm golden blond hair in 2001 at "The Princess Diaries" premiere. She walked the red carpet with highlighted curly locks that were youthful and soft, and helped bring out her skin's glow. 15 years later, she tried a more modern take on the warm honey color with a straight blow out and middle part, which she shared on Instagram. That time, she left her roots a little darker for more depth that flattered her more mature skin.
