So long, ombré hair! Drew Barrymore recently ditched her two-tone locks, opting for a warm, uniform auburn shade that she debuted at a book launch party in West Hollywood on Wednesday night. It’s been a while since we’ve seen the actress with just one hair color: in September of 2009, she worked light blonde hair with black tips while promoting her film Whip It, then moved on to practically a reverse color scheme, sporting darker roots with lighter ends, a look she owned for quite some time. Barrymore’s literally rocked every hair color under the sun, but with this new hue, she returns to a glam look we saw (and loved!) in 2007 and 2008. The actress has been spotted smooching new beau Will Kopelman all around Los Angeles lately — could the new look have to do with a new love? Tell us: What do you think of Barrymore’s new hair hue? –Kate Hogan

Drew looks great with red hair!

tori on April 14th, 2011

Pretty color but makes her look older which isn’t a good thing!

R A on April 14th, 2011

Love it, she looks gorgeous! Reminds me of Julia Roberts.

Bill on April 14th, 2011

I wouldn’t throw her out of bed unless I was going to do her on the floor.

Vanessa on April 14th, 2011

She looks amazing!! Thats her color. Love it.

Melinda on April 14th, 2011

Love it and love her!

carrie on April 14th, 2011

I love it! She looks fantastic. She’s lucky she can do most hair colors and it looks good. Love this auburn look.

Chris P on April 14th, 2011

The color looks great on her. She can basically dye her hair almost any color and it looks good on her.

Tori Holden on April 14th, 2011

Why is this news? She’s been red before. It does look good on her though

nadine on April 14th, 2011

Prefered her as a blond

Susan on April 14th, 2011

I really like Drew. I loved her red hair in the Charlie’s Angels movies but, while this looks better than the two tone hair, her hair looks over-stressed at the tips.

Eden on April 14th, 2011

She looks beautiful! I love that color on her.

Amy on April 14th, 2011

Love the colour – works well with her skin tone. I don’t think it makes her look older at all!

taunya on April 14th, 2011

I think that this color looks good on her. She looks beautiful.

regina on April 14th, 2011

I like it!

CorinaElena on April 14th, 2011

I like it, I think it looks fresh, young and perky. :)

canada girl on April 14th, 2011

Love the hair color!!!!

ellen on April 14th, 2011

I <3 DB I don't care what color her hair is she rocks

Sharon on April 14th, 2011

Nice one, Bill.

PAW on April 14th, 2011

Is it just me or does she look very Julia Roberts-y here?! I think it looks great though!

Kim on April 14th, 2011

she could shave her head and still look great. love the auburn, it’s warm and natural.

Kiki on April 14th, 2011

Love It!!!!!!!!!!

Tess on April 14th, 2011

Thank goodness! I don’t think ombre hair is a good look on anyone, even Drew. I love this red color though, it’s so her!

dottie on April 14th, 2011

That color looks awesome on her.

tw on April 14th, 2011

She always looks good, but I like blonde better.

Colene R on April 14th, 2011

Drew looks great with red hair. I have red hair myself even though red fades the fastest.

Jon on April 14th, 2011

I like her hair Hue, and PHOTO! And, only time will tell if it has to do with her new Beau, Will Koppleman!

Anne on April 14th, 2011

come on PEOPLE Mag. big deal!

TJ on April 14th, 2011

Don’t like it. She’s still adorable, but looks better as a blonde.

ANN on April 14th, 2011

HOW MANY OF YOU THINK BILL SHOWS NO CLASS? This is the style section fools.

Mary on April 14th, 2011

She looks older..No red!!!

Tiffany on April 14th, 2011

This COLOR looks great. I have no idea who referred to this as ‘dye’, but any stylist would know that ‘dye’ is not the proper term. Anyway, you look beautiful, Drew! She can pull off any color. :)

lisa on April 14th, 2011

so what big deal

Katie on April 14th, 2011

She looks great! One poster said it made her look older, but I don’t see that at all, in fact quite the opposite!

ThatOneGuy on April 14th, 2011

Slow news day! Drew has had blonde, black, brown, red, blue and purple hair at different points over the last 20 years. She is constantly changing her hair color. She looks cute as always, but this story is BOOOORRRING!

sydthekyd on April 14th, 2011

Did she dye her eyebrows, too?

Lanie on April 14th, 2011

I hate her hair red. I think she looks best with really light blonde hair. I don’t know why but she just looks so boring and bland with brown hair.

Her skin tone looks best with light blonde hair, not that dirty blonde she sports at times.

Red Skye on April 14th, 2011

She looks great as a red head!Wonder who colored her hair they really did a fantastic job.

shari on April 14th, 2011

she looks great any color!!!!!!!!!!!!!Love her!!

Sunshine on April 15th, 2011

I like whatever color her hair was when she was little (is that blonde?). This color makes her look pale.

Rose on April 15th, 2011

Love that color on you Drew its looks natural on you!

Zoe on April 15th, 2011

Perfect color for her. I love it. I don’t get why everyone wants to go blonde? Dare to be different!

Amy on April 15th, 2011

I love it! I’m glad to see she dyed it red again. I loved her hair in Charlie’s Angels. It suits her skin tone very well and does NOT make her looker older.
