Not too long ago, we put together a list of redheads in the adult industry over on our sister site, Babesrater.com. Fun as that was, we couldn’t shake the feeling that we were leaving this site out of the action. So, we decided to give the spotlight to a different kind of flame-haired stunner—natural redheads from across the entertainment world.
Think Hollywood’s fiery beauties, and not just the ones lighting up the big screen. This lineup also includes fashion icons and other dazzling figures who’ve made their mark beyond acting.
So, without further delay—and in no particular order of hotness—let’s meet the stunning natural redheads who prove that fiery is more than just a hair color.
Karen Gillan
Karen Gillan is a Scottish actress, filmmaker, and former model who’s made her mark on both sides of the Atlantic. She first won hearts (and probably broke a few) as Amy Pond, the feisty companion in Doctor Who. Hollywood soon came calling, and she’s since kicked butt as the blue-skinned Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and brought plenty of laughs as Ruby Roundhouse in the Jumanji movies.
In true “all in for the role” fashion, Karen even shaved off her natural auburn hair to play Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy. Don’t worry—her hair eventually grew back, but her fearless commitment to a part has been turning heads ever since.
April Bowlby
April Bowlby is an American actress you’ve probably seen stealing scenes on TV—whether as Kandi, Alan’s bubbly girlfriend/wife/ex-wife in Two and a Half Men, or as the shape-shifting Rita Farr (a.k.a. Elasti-Woman) in Doom Patrol. She even popped up as Crazy Meg in How I Met Your Mother, proving she can make “delightfully unhinged” look effortless.
Fun fact: April Bowlby was the very first actress to bring Rita Farr, a.k.a. Elasti-Woman, to life in a live-action role. And when she’s not busy saving the day on-screen, she’s flexing her intellectual superpowers as the host of 75 Reads, a podcast that explores David Bowie’s favorite books—because why be just a superhero when you can be a literary adventurer too?
Oh, and here’s another gem—April is a natural redhead, with vibrant red hair and striking blue eyes. Basically, she’s got the kind of look that could stop a speeding train… or at least make it slow down to admire her.
Kate Mara
Kate Mara is an American actress you’ve likely seen commanding the screen in House of Cards, 24, and American Horror Story. On the film side, she’s made her mark in Brokeback Mountain, The Martian, and even stepped into superhero territory with Fantastic Four.
Here’s a fun twist: acting isn’t the only thing in her blood—so is football. Her family has deep NFL roots, with ties to both the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers, making holiday games an entirely different kind of family drama.
Kate is also a natural redhead, often rocking shades that range from warm auburn to deep, rich tones. She’s dabbled in other colors (yes, even blonde), but she always seems to circle back to her signature fiery look—because when something works, why mess with it?

She’s even conquered TV, earning rave reviews for her haunting performance in HBO’s Sharp Objects.
Fun fact: Amy’s now-famous red hair? Totally a plot twist. She’s actually a natural strawberry blonde but dyed it red to avoid typecasting—and the gamble paid off. Suddenly, she was landing all sorts of diverse, quirky roles. While she might be a blonde by birth, that fiery red suits her so perfectly we couldn’t resist giving her a spot on this list.

Sure, she plays around with different shades of red now and then, but her natural hue is that rich, warm auburn that suits her to perfection.
Rachelle Lefevre

Off-screen, Rachelle puts her heart into causes she cares about, especially as a dedicated supporter of the Best Friends Animal Society. In other words, she’s not just good at playing memorable characters—she’s also a real-life hero to a lot of furry friends.
