Changing your hair color is one of the most impactful and fun ways to change up your look. Whether you’re stepping into your badass era, brightening up for summer, or jumping on a trend because you’ve seen all your favorite stars do it, there are few things quite like turning around in your salon’s swivel chair see how you look with new hair color.
Now don’t get us wrong – we love an on-trend auburn shade and more classic-looking highlights, but it’s so much fun to think outside the box and go for a bold color. Think green, pink, purple, etc. Of course, blue is one of those forever cool shades that’s on almost everyone’s wish list. There are so many shades to choose from and we love how much dimension it can add to any look.
Find 11 of our favorite blue hair ideas as seen on celebrities. From icy strands to deep ocean blue, there’s something for every skin tone and preference. And no, Smurfs didn’t make it.

#1Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga channeled an ice queen from head to toe for the 2019 Golden Globe Awards. Her icy blue hair matched her Valentino dress, weaving between soft white and icicle blue.
#2 Megan Thee Stallion
Navy hair is some hot girl shit – just ask Megan Thee Stallion. We love how this dark shade looks in cascading curls and how it changes depending on where the light hits.
#3 Karl G
The award-winning Colombian reggaeton singer is no stranger to blue hair — it’s been her trademark for years. We love how effortlessly cool these bright turquoise strands look with their beachy waves.
#4 Kesha
Instead of going all-in with just one suit, try two a la Kesha. We love how she leaned into both pink and blue pastels, and if you squint your eyes a little, you’ll be able to spot hints of purple as well.
#5 Amandla Stenberg
A fun way to play with color is to add complementary shades of blue from mid-shaft to the ends of the hair, like Amandla Stenberg’s.
#6 Demi Lovato
Once upon a time Demi Lovato had blue hair color. They wore different variations of the shade for years, but we particularly like this dark green version.
#7 Winne Harlow
Winne Harlow’s reverse ombré is a lesson in edge and cool. If you look closely you can also see that the under layer of her head is dark blue contrasting with her ice blue on top.
#8 Georgia May Jagger
Play with different shades of blue by blocking two complementary shades. We love how Georgia May Jagger balances light turquoise with a grey-blue hue – a true art of duality.
#9 Billie Eillisch
Lest we forget Billie Eillish’s blue hair phase. She went through different variations of the shade and applied it to different parts of her hair, but we particularly like this gray-blue tone.
#10 Tati Gabrielle
Tati Gabrielle’s light turquoise finger waves are a look for the books!
#11 Shay Mitchell
Get on top of three trends instead of one like Shay Mitchell is doing here. She expertly combined lob, wet look and blue hair for total smoke show effect.
