Jennifer Love Hewitt Unveils Hair Transformation at Rare Red Carpet Appearance

After more than a year away from the spotlight, Jennifer Love Hewitt made a stunning return to the red carpet, showcasing not just a major hair transformation, but also her revival of a fan-favorite role from her horror film legacy.

Jennifer Love Hewitt stepped back into the limelight on July 14, 2025, unveiling a fresh ginger-hued hairstyle during the premiere of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in Los Angeles. The event marked her first red carpet appearance in over a year.

Held at the United Theater, the premiere featured Hewitt with noticeably redder locks, a shift from her longtime brunette look that caught the attention of the media and photographers alike.

For the occasion, the actress wore a black, ankle-length dress intricately detailed with jeweled beading. She completed the look with silver accessories and black heels accented with silver, offering a polished and elegant appearance.

This public appearance comes as Hewitt gears up to reprise her role as Julie James in the upcoming installment of the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise. She will reunite with co-star Freddie Prinze Jr., who returns as Ray Bronson.

The two previously starred together in the 1997 original and its 1998 sequel, "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer."

Hewitt, 46, shares three children, Autumn, 11; Atticus, 10; and Aidan, 3, with husband Brian Hallisay. Her last red carpet event took place in March 2024 for the television series "9-1-1," where she plays Maddie Buckley.
