Dakota Johnson Debuts 'Glossed Espresso' Hair by Tracey Cunningham

Dakota Johnson, recognized for her iconic chocolate brown locks, has unveiled a new, deeper hue just as fall approaches. On September 1, she was spotted in Los Angeles en route to Warner Bros. studios, showcasing a shiny, dark brunette style with her signature bangs. This change was crafted by celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham, who serves as the US creative director of color and technique for Schwarzkopf Professional. Previously, Cunningham, who has worked with stars like Emma Stone and Julia Garner, created Johnson's 'dirty blonde' appearance for the Time 100 gala in 2025. For this transformation, she utilized Schwarzkopf Professional's Igora Vibrance, employing a method she describes as 'placed, not painted,' to achieve a seamless gradient. The new 'glossed espresso' shade is a rich, dimensional dark brown, designed to provide depth and avoid flatness, aligning perfectly with the seasonal shift toward richer color palettes.
