In place of red-carpet makeup and fashion looks, celebrities have found new ways to express their style in recent weeks.
One of the most popular methods seems to be through hair dye. Recently, stars including Ricky Martin, Hilary Duff, and Dua Lipa have all taken to Instagram with photos of themselves wearing bright new styles. Coincidentally, almost every person that’s done so has chosen either a pink or blue shade.
Here are some of the celebrities taking part in Hollywood’s latest beauty trend.
Ricky Martin was one of the first celebrities to dye their hair a bright color while social distancing.
He showed off his newly-pink hair in an Instagram video about the importance of social distancing posted on March 19.
Lauren Alaina followed, writing a pun-filled Instagram caption about her new hair color.
"This quarantine's got me feeling extra blue," the country star wrote in an Instagram post on March 19. "Probably gonna stay that way teal it's over."
Though she still had blue hair in an Instagram video posted on April 10, she now seems to be back to her natural blonde shade.
Luke Evans said his new hair color helps him channel a cartoon character.
In an Instagram post on April 8, the actor wrote: "Today I will be channeling Sir Woody of the woodpeckers #woodywoodpecker #redhairdontcare."
Elle Fanning also debuted a new color at the end of March.
She revealed the color via her Instagram Story on March 25. While it's unclear as to what color her hair is now, Fanning's strands did look significantly less pink in a photo she posted on April 13.
Kristen Stewart drastically changed her look with orange hair dye.
On March 29, Stewart's hairstylist CJ Romero shared a photo of her new color, writing: "Who said you can't be cute in quarantine!? 🧚🏻♂️Hair cut on @emmaroberts and Cut and Color on Kristen!! 💇🏼♀️💇🏼♂️🧡🧡."
He later shared more details about how to achieve her bright-orange hair, which he describes as being a "cosmic rust" color.
The next month, Jennifer Love Hewitt added pink highlights to her hair.

She shared a photo of her new style and color to Instagram on April 12, writing: "🤷🏼♀️yea." She later appeared on a live Instagram video with her husband Matthew Koma, who took credit for dyeing her hair.
Dua Lipa added some pink strands to her hair as part of an "experiment."
She also wrote about her new color on Instagram as part of a "Quarantine diaries" entry on April 16.
"This week's experiment... pink hair," she wrote. "That's kind of it really - I haven't acquired a new skill but I have joined World of Warcraft and I have two pets on it called mintsaws and little sheena (one's a dragonhawk and one's a tiger)."
A few days later, however, the musician ended up changing her look with orange dye and bangs.

Ruby Rose chose two popular colors when dyeing her hair.
In an Instagram post on May 1, the actress wrote: "What can I say!? Sometimes you just need to feel blue and other times you need pink to lighten your day."
Kendall Jenner seemingly changed her look by turning her natural brown hair blonde.
Jenner shared an Instagram video of what appeared to be her new hair color on May 7. The video has been removed from her official page, but can still be found on fan accounts, like KendallJennerSnapchats.
As Insider's Darcy Schild previously reported, "the short clip appears to have been filmed with a filter, which makes Jenner's eyes look blue." It's unclear if the filter altered the appearance of her hair as well.
