Red Hairstyles: Rihanna

We actually prefer the (dyed) bold red style on pop star Rihanna. Her new shoulder-length bob is both edgy and lovely.

Now, Lindsay is a blonde, but for years, she was red (her natural color). Remember Disney's remake of The Parent Trap? The troubled actress was 11 and very much a redhead.
