Sophia Bush is debuting her new look!
On Thursday, July 4, the One Tree Hill alum, 41, kicked off her Independence Day celebrations with a new hair color.
“We decided to put the RED in 'red white and blue' this year ♥️,” she wrote under the joint Instagram post.
Tagging hairstylist Nikki Lee and makeup artist Afton Williams, Bush displayed a beaming smile as she looked back at the camera to show off her lighter locks.
The star, who is known for sporting a dark brunette look, then turned to the side in the second snap as she wore a blue denim shirt and jeans.
Revealing the front of her buttoned-down shirt in the final picture, Bush bent her head to the side as her hair fell into a wavy middle part.

“You never have a bad hair day, both figuratively and literally, Sophia," one fan commented.
"Slayyy, Queen!💅🏻❤️🔥,” another person commented, while yet another added, “you have always been THAT girl💋.”
Bush also shared a video of her new hair color on TikTok. Starting the video of her rocking a makeup-free straight face to the camera, the actress mimed to a voiceover.
“Imagine the day they see you again,” the voiceover said. “And you are just ..well.”

Bush then turned her hair to the side before the camera switched up her look with her copper red hair, and full face of makeup.
Syncing with the style change, the voiceover added, “Better,” as the John Tucker Must Die star sported a white crop top under a blue shirt.
Bush’s hair change comes after she attended a celebration of Woolf Works at New York City's American Ballet Theatre in June.
Sporting her darker locks, Bush posed on the red carpet with girlfriend Ashlyn Harris, whom she’s been dating since 2023.
The Chicago P.D. star was dressed in a long-sleeved V-neck top with a bright red midi skirt, while Harris, 38, wore a blue double-breasted suit set and a pair of round sunglasses.
