You might be surprised to find Emma Stone on this list after all she is known for her gorgeous red hair, but actually Emma Stone is naturally blonde and of course one of the hottest blonde actresses in Hollywood. Allegedly, the reason why Emma is always flaunting red is that she “looks like a redhead,” and we couldn’t agree more.

She has since gone on to feature in many successful movies like Easy A (2010), Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), The Help (2011), The Amazing Spider-Man series, La La Land (2016), Cruella (2021).

Since then, she has continued to work with various movie productions, engage in video games modeling and voice-overs as well explore her singing talent, with a Grammy nomination to her name.
Hayden Panettiere’s efforts in her acting career have not gone unrewarded as her portrayal as Juliette Barnes in the musical drama series Nashville has earned her two nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
