Autumn/Winter Hair Color Guide: Five K-pop Stars Show Off Wine Red to Berry Red Tones

Marie Claire's Taiwan edition reported on October 18, 2026, compiling wine-red hair color looks from five Korean celebrities as reference for an autumn/winter hair color change. The report featured Billlie's SIYOON, MEOVV's NARIN, STAYC's Sieun, aespa's WINTER, and ITZY's Yuna, each showing different depths of red tone, ranging from a deeper reddish-brown to a more pronounced berry red.

In terms of styling, this wave of wine-red hair isn't a single formula but varies depending on individual hairstyles. Short hair versions add a casual edge through layered ends and slightly flipped-out lines, while long hair uses natural waves or sleek straight strands to let the red tone shift in intensity under different lighting—some opt for a subtle look with deep base color and faint red glints, while others choose a fully saturated, immediately noticeable bright red.

From a practical standpoint, the most useful way to use these celebrity photos is as a basis for discussing 'desired depth and red-to-purple ratio' with a hairstylist, rather than asking for an exact replica. The actual result depends on one's original base color, past coloring and perming history, hair condition, and the lighting in the reference photo, meaning the same reference image can look quite different on different people.

For anyone considering the change, it helps to focus on key points based on current hair length: those with short hair can pay attention to the line of the ends and layering, while those with long hair can observe the curl pattern or straightness in the photos, then further discuss with their stylist to find the wine-red version that best suits their needs.
