Jennifer Love Hewitt made a stunning appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer. The 46-year-old actress showcased a bold new look with her freshly dyed ginger hair.
A Bold Transformation
Hewitt, traditionally a brunette, first revealed her vibrant new color on Instagram in May. However, this event marked her debut of the shade on the red carpet.
Stylish Ensemble
For the premiere, she wore a stylish black beaded midi dress designed by Rachel Gilbert, paired with rhinestone-embellished heels. Instead of a necklace, she opted for an assortment of rings and a mix of silver and gold bracelets on her wrist.
Response to Her New Look
On her Instagram post featuring the new hair, she expressed, “I have wanted to be red for so long! @nikkilee901 crushed this color! She named my color Sunset Lover🌅 Thank you.”
Her fellow actress, Alyssa Milano, chimed in with an enthusiastic “This is a yes for me. 😍,” while her co-star Tommy DiDario playfully asked, “Ravishing in red! 😍 Should I go red to match???”
Returning to a Classic Role
Hewitt is reprising her role from the iconic 1997 slasher film and its sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. This marks a significant return for her character, Julie.
Reflecting on her return, Jennifer shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “I was hesitant at first. If I was coming back as Julie, I wanted to ensure we were bringing her back in the right way.”
Nostalgic Yet Innovative
Her desire was to ensure her character had a meaningful presence in the new project that extended beyond mere nostalgia. “It was important to me that there was a reason for her return, not just to ride the wave of ’90s nostalgia,” she explained.
Remarkable Premiere of Yesterday vs. Today
At the premiere of the original film in 1997, a young Hewitt dazzled in a strapless navy embroidered dress and black platforms, her hair styled in a charming curled ponytail.
The upcoming cast includes talented actors such as Madeline Cline, Gabbriette Bechtel, and Chase Sui Wonders, adding fresh energy to the much-anticipated release.
