“Blushy beauty moments,” is how celebrity makeup artist Nikki Woolf captioned Daisy Edgar-Jones' new look. The British actress and new global ambassador for Estée Lauder has long since established her own aesthetic of soft, English rose glamour: flawless skin, bushy brows and moisturized lips with a subtle sheen. Now, she's bringing that delicate sensuality to her hair.
This week, Edgar-Jones debuted a new shade, strawberry brunette. The lighter, almost plum-like hues run through the top layers of her hair, softly highlighting her signature bangs, gradually transitioning to chest-length lengths to create volume and depth. The look was created by stylist Earl Simms and colorist Jacob Schwartz. The warmer tone accentuates the actress' delicate contouring and a blush with a chestnut undertone. It's a signature look for Woolf, who also works with Emilia Clarke, Raye, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Strawberry Brown: The Main Shade of 2026
Long, slightly tousled hair with loose, daisy-style bangs is one of the effortlessly cool haircuts that was most popular last season. The face-framing bangs can be worn natural or styled with volume for an old-school glam look, and this option is sure to be a trend for 2026.
Edgar-Jones has always opted for a gradual evolution: from a bob to a jawline to curtain bangs with a nod to the 1970s. The color has also changed subtly: from a deep chocolate espresso with caramel highlights to a beachy blonde lob. The constant companion of these transformations remains colorist Jacob Schwartz (whose clients also include Bella Hadid and Margot Robbie).

How to wear strawberry brown hair
The new shade organically complements the actress's 1970s-inspired wardrobe: suede beige jackets with Gucci cowboy boots, brown leather by Chloé or a translucent organza blouse by Valentino with an amber floral clasp. This season, it's worth taking a cue from Daisy and paying attention to this ruddy brown shade: unlike most red tones, it is easy to maintain, grows out beautifully and instantly refreshes both bobs and romantic long layers. Strawberry brunette season is officially open.
