Kate Mara has debuted a striking “Red Renaissance” hair color courtesy of Tracey Cunningham, Schwarzkopf Professional’s U.S. Creative Director of Color & Technique. Known for aligning her hair with the evolution of her career, Kate has once again turned to Tracey to create a transformation that is both timeless and of-the-moment.
Her hair has mirrored her journey on screen: she went brunette for Werner Herzog’s Bucking Fastard, playing twins alongside her sister Rooney. Tracey then lifted her to a luminous blonde for the upcoming Apple TV+ series Imperfect Women. And now, the duo has returned to Kate’s signature red, but with a daring, modern edge that redefines the look for a new era.
Over the course of three hours, Tracey crafted depth with subtle lowlights, rebuilt the base for richness and staying power, and finished with an all-over application of Schwarzkopf Professional’s Igora Vibrance. This alkaline gloss is Tracey’s go-to for achieving unparalleled shine and multi-dimensional brilliance. The result is a fiery, glossy red that feels as iconic as it does brand new—an update that is equal parts Hollywood glamour and bold statement.
