Sophie Turner's Hair Colors: Public Reactions Revealed
10 Aug
Summary
- Blonde hair elicits the most positive public reactions.
- Brunette hair helps Sophie Turner remain less recognizable.
- Turner experienced an identity crisis after leaving Game of Thrones.

Sophie Turner, who began altering her hair color at 13 for her role as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, has explored numerous shades throughout her career. Her natural blonde hair was first dyed auburn red for the HBO series, a commitment that lasted for nearly a decade.
Turner recently shared that blonde hair consistently receives the most positive public reactions. While red hair elicits less frequent but intense responses, she finds brunette tones provide a valuable sense of anonymity, making her less recognizable. This current preference for brunette is for her role in Prime Video's upcoming Tomb Raider series.
Reflecting on her tenure as Sansa Stark, which spanned from 2009 to 2019, Turner admitted to experiencing an identity crisis upon leaving the character. She struggled to differentiate herself from Sansa, having spent a significant portion of her adolescence on set and was too young to read the books.
Furthermore, Turner expressed that she cannot bring herself to watch "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," the latest Game of Thrones spinoff. Despite having had a positive experience on the original show, she experiences significant anxiety even hearing the theme music, though she wishes the new cast and crew success.
