Male Celebrities Who Changed Their Look With Dyed Hair

Hair color can change a celebrity’s whole image.

For some male stars, a dye job is part of a movie role. For others, it is a music-era reset, a red carpet statement, or simply a way to keep their look fresh. Blonde, pink, blue, green, silver, red, and platinum hair have all become part of modern male celebrity style.

These are some male celebrities who have publicly appeared with dyed hair, changed hair color for roles, or became known for bold grooming choices. It is not meant to shame anyone for coloring their hair.

1. Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik is one of the most obvious names for this list.

The former One Direction singer has tried several hair colors over the years, including platinum blonde. Vogue covered one of his boldest dye jobs when he stepped out in Miami with platinum hair and even a platinum beard.

Zayn’s hair changes usually feel connected to his music, fashion, and personal style. He does not treat grooming like a small detail. It is part of his whole image.

2. Jared Leto

Jared Leto has changed his hair color many times for roles, red carpets, and music eras.

He has gone platinum, pink, green, and several shades in between. Vogue included Leto in its look at famous platinum-haired men, showing how his blonde look became part of a wider celebrity grooming trend.

Leto’s style works because he rarely looks halfway committed. When he changes his hair, he usually changes the whole mood around it.

3. David Beckham

David Beckham helped make dyed hair mainstream for men.

The former footballer and style icon has worn blonde, frosted, shaved, longer, and darker looks over the years. Beckham’s hair choices mattered because millions of men copied him.

4. Eminem

Eminem’s bleached blonde hair became one of the most recognizable celebrity looks of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The color was part of the Slim Shady image: sharp, rebellious, and instantly identifiable. Even now, that blonde look remains tied to one of the most famous eras in hip-hop.

5. Pete Davidson

Pete Davidson has experimented with several hair colors, including bleached blonde and pastel blue.

Allure reported that Davidson dyed his hair pastel blue with the help of celebrity colorist Aura Friedman after previously being known for a bleached-blonde look.

Davidson’s style is casual, messy, and unpredictable, which makes bold hair colors feel natural on him.

6. Jaden Smith

Jaden Smith has never been afraid of bold hair.

GQ covered one of his standout looks: a pink/neon-red shade with blonde at the bottom. The same report also noted how short hair can still make a strong color statement.

Jaden’s dyed hair fits his broader fashion image: experimental, young, and not too interested in old rules.

7. Frank Ocean

Frank Ocean has changed his hair color several times, especially with short dyed styles.

GQ noted that Ocean has worn blonde, green, and blue hair, showing how short hair can still carry strong visual impact.

His color changes usually feel understated compared with louder celebrity makeovers, but they still stand out because his style is so controlled.

8. Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling has dyed his hair for roles, including lighter looks that changed his usual image.

Vogue included Gosling among famous men who tried platinum hair for film roles.

His hair changes are usually more character-driven than trend-driven, which makes them feel different from pop-star dye jobs.

9. Joshua Jackson

Joshua Jackson has also tried platinum hair for a role.

Vogue included him with other male stars who went lighter for screen work, noting that both Jackson and Ryan Gosling wore the color for more menacing film roles.

10. Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman made colorful dyed hair part of his identity.

Long before bright hair became common among athletes and celebrities, Rodman used color, patterns, and bold grooming as part of his public image. Vogue included him among famous platinum-haired men, but Rodman’s real style legacy goes far beyond blonde.

He helped make dyed hair feel fearless, especially in sports.

11. Joe Jonas

Joe Jonas has played with hair color throughout different music and fashion phases.

Like many pop stars, he has used lighter shades and dyed looks to mark new eras. His hair changes work because they fit the Jonas Brothers’ move from clean teen image to more adult pop style.

12. Nick Jonas

Nick Jonas has also experimented with hair color, including lighter and highlighted styles.

His grooming changes have usually been more subtle than Zayn Malik or Jaden Smith, but they still show how common dyeing has become among male pop stars.

Nick’s look tends to stay clean and controlled, which makes even small color changes noticeable.

13. Maluma

Maluma is known for changing his hair as part of his music and fashion image.

He has worn blonde, pink, blue, and other standout shades across different eras. For Latin music stars, hair color often works like a visual reset before a new album, tour, or public appearance.

Maluma’s dyed hair fits his confident, fashion-forward brand.

14. Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny has used hair color as part of his larger style identity.

He has worn shaved designs, bright colors, and unexpected grooming looks over the years. His fashion and beauty choices helped push Latin trap and reggaeton style into a more experimental space.

15. Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X has worn several bold hair colors and styles.

His hair often supports the larger visual story around his music, red carpet appearances, and performances. Like his outfits, his dyed hair choices are not random. They are part of the character and spectacle.

16. Machine Gun Kelly

Machine Gun Kelly has worn blonde, pink, and other dyed looks.

His hair color changes fit his punk-pop style, tattoos, fashion choices, and music-era shifts. For him, dyeing his hair is less about looking polished and more about looking restless and expressive.

17. Zac Efron

Zac Efron has appeared with dyed blonde hair, including a bright platinum look that got plenty of attention from fans.

His color change stood out because people were used to seeing him with darker hair during his High School Musical and early movie years. Going blonde gave him a sharper, more adult look.

18. Adam Levine

Adam Levine has experimented with bleached and lightened hair over the years.

The Maroon 5 frontman’s style has shifted many times, from dark hair and tattoos to lighter, cleaner, and more fashion-forward looks. His hair changes usually fit the music frontman lane: noticeable, but still easy to wear.

19. Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber has tried several hair colors, including blonde and platinum looks.

His hair has been part of his public image since his early teen-pop days. As he grew older, hair color became one of the ways he moved away from the clean “Baby” era and into a more adult style.

20. Chris Brown

Chris Brown has worn many dyed hair looks, including blonde, blue, green, and multicolor styles.

His hair changes have often matched his music videos, performances, and streetwear-heavy fashion image. For male R&B and hip-hop artists, hair dye can be part of the full performance package.

21. Kanye West

Kanye West has changed his hair color and hairstyle many times.

He has worn blonde, pinkish, patterned, and shaved designs at different moments. His hair choices often reflect larger creative phases, fashion experiments, or personal reinvention.

West’s grooming choices are rarely just grooming. They usually become part of a public image shift.

22. Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan has used blonde and lighter hair as part of his soft, stylish pop image.

His hair colors usually feel less aggressive than punk-inspired dye jobs. Instead, they work with fashion, music videos, and a clean editorial look.
