Emma Roberts channels her famous aunt Julia with newly-dyed red locks for upcoming role

Emma Roberts channeled her famous aunt Julia Roberts by dying her signature blonde mane ‘sunrise red’ at the Nine Zero One Salon in West Hollywood last Saturday.

The New York-born nepo-baby – turning 34 in one week – hired ‘only the best’ hairstylists Nikki Lee to color her locks and Riawna Capri to cut it and attach Great Lengths extensions.

Emma – who boasts 20.5M Instagram followers – even posted a before/after video of her makeover.

Lee told People on Sunday that Roberts ‘needed to go red for an upcoming acting role’ gushing: ‘We love this look on Emma — it’s giving a very modern take on Julia Roberts hair in the nineties.’

The former child star will soon fly to Saudi Arabia to film her next movie Fourth Wall at the brand new AlUla Studios – according to Variety.

Emma portrays a kidnapped former child star in Alexis Ostrander’s thriller for Stampede Ventures.

But some speculated that Roberts was about to reprise her role as actress Jill Roberts, the mastermind Ghostface of Scream 4 (2011), in Kevin Williamson’s upcoming sequel Scream 7 – which shoots through March 12 in Atlanta.

ᴅᴇᴀᴅline reported Monday that Ethan Embry joined the ensemble cast including Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Scott Foley, Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown for the slasher already scheduled to hit US theaters February 27, 2026.

The Belletrist co-founder’s other upcoming acting projects include I. Marlene King’s series Calabasas, Nathan Smith’s animated film Saurus City, and Katie Locke O’Brien’s comedy H๏τ Mess.

Worryingly, Emma’s last three films have received absolutely dismal reviews from critics – Space Cadet (28%), Madame Web (11%), and Maybe I Do (31%) – on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speaking of haircuts, Roberts was in New York on Monday enlisting hairstylist Sam Leonardi to give her adorable four-year-old son Rhodes Robert Hedlund a trim.

The Tell Me Lies executive producer welcomed the godson of country crooner Tim McGraw during her two-year relationship with Tulsa King actor Garrett Hedlund, which ended in 2021.

NCIS guest star Cody John popped the question to Emma on July 16, and the engaged couple originally met in August 2022 through mutual friends.

Roberts was previously engaged to her Adult World co-star Evan Peters, whom she dated between 2012-2019.
