“Blushy beauty moments,” is how celebrity makeup artist Nikki Wolff captioned Daisy Edgar-Jones’s latest look. The English actor—and newest global brand ambassador for Estée Lauder—has long established a soft-focus, English rose sense of glam: think pristine skin, feathery brows, and a pouty, balm-dabbed lip. Now, she’s taking those same sensibilities to her hair.
This week, Edgar-Jones debuted a strawberry brunette shade, with lighter tones through her plumy top layers, dappled through her enviable set of bangs, and graduating down into those chest-skimming lengths to create dimension and depth. Styled by Earl Simms and colored by Jacob Schwartz, the warmer color picks up her delicately sculpted contour and sumptuous, almost chestnut blush that blooms across her cheeks. It’s an expertly monochromatic work that Wolff is a dab hand at—for Edgar-Jones, but also other celebrity clients including Emilia Clarke, Raye, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Those long tousled locks with the swept-out fringe, by way of Daisy Edgar-Jones, culminate into one of this past season’s widely sought after yet effortless cool-girl cuts. With the face-framing bangs, worn loose or blown out for that old-school glam look, it remains firmly on trend for 2026.
Edgar-Jones has a softly, softly approach to her hair, moving assuredly and slowly over the years from a jaw-length bob to ’70s-leaning curtain bangs. Same goes for her hair color: it’s been a chocolatey, espresso shade, painted with caramel highlights, and worked up to a beachy blonde lob. It’s colorist Jacob Schwartz (called upon by everyone from Bella Hadid to Margot Robbie) who’s been along for the ride and every subtle hair transformation.
This latest look falls in total tandem with her fashions: DEJ loves ’70s-tipped style, textures, and sumptuous color palettes. Think beige suede jackets paired with Gucci cowboy boots, a confectionery brown Chloé leather, or this latest look: a diaphanous Valentino organza top with an amber floral fastening.
Make like DEJ this season and consider this blushing brown shade when you’re next in the chair: unlike most red shades, it’s pretty easy to maintain and grow out, and instantly elevates your bob or romantic long layers. Strawberry brunette season is here!
