Top 10 Hottest Redheads: Modern

An actress largely known for comedy roles, when Isla Fisher comes onto the screen she certainly provides something to smile about! She was the sexiest part of “Scooby Doo”, and the cutest bit about “Confessions of a Shopaholic”... Married to English funny man Sacha Baron Cohen since 2010, Fisher has since branched out a little, taking parts as Myrtle Wilson in “The Great Gatsby” and Henley Reeves in “Now You See Me”. A versatile performer, she’s a very pretty lady!

We leave the world of film and march into music now, as Hayley Williams has us all forgetting the lyrics because she’s just too lovely to look at! This rock chick isn’t quite your standard brand of sexy, but that’s why we love her! Williams wows with her punky hairstyles, tattoos, alt fashion and general anarchy! Even though she’s ‘in the business of misery’, she’s been making us swoon for some time now! It’s a ‘riot’ a minute with this one, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

On the redhead scale, our next hottie skirts the brunette border, but there’s just enough scarlet about herself to qualify for today’s countdown! Kate Walsh is an actress most well-known for two roles... That of Dr. Addison Montgomery in “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Grey”‘s spin-off show, “Private Practice”, as well as Rebecca Wright in “Bad Judge”. We all love a woman in uniform, and when that woman’s a redhead, and when she’s as wow-worthy as Miss Walsh, well that’s a winning combination!

An actress to leave you wide open-eyed, Jessica Chastain found her Hollywood feet in largely controversial circumstances. Reasonably well known before December 2012, she was an all out A-lister by January 2013, after starring as young CIA intelligence officer Maya in “Zero Dark Thirty”. A movie that captured headlines on a daily basis... It was a political landmine, but she has since proven far hotter to handle! Considered a leading actress of her generation, she’s also one of the loveliest to look at!

As a general rule, anyone who has a starring role alongside Sookie Stackhouse in “True Blood” has to be hot! The show is overflowing with attractive people, but our next actress is probably the most beautiful of the fang-bangin’ bunch! Deborah Ann Woll plays Jessica in the HBO series, a sorta after dark offspring to the show’s lead male figure, Bill Compton. A character with an apparently uncontrollable libido, Woll shows a lot of skin during the series, making a lot of the audience very happy!

In more ways than one, our next entry is an actress who appears to just get better with each passing year! Julianne Moore has been heralded by critics for the majority of her career, and as she gets older, the awards and nominations are becoming more commonplace! At the same time, she’s a lovely looking lady, and she’s getting lovelier by the day! Her red hair’s a regular on the red carpet, and we just can’t get enough of it! In fact, we want even more, of Moore!

“Doctor Who” is well known for reinventing itself, so when the series promised a new companion in 2010 there was little out of the ordinary... However, when Karen Gillan arrived dressed as a policewoman kiss-o-gram, we oohed and ahhed a little more than usual! Since playing Amelia Pond, Gillan has switched to the silver screen, most notably with a more ‘blue’ than ‘red’ role as Nebula in “Guardians of the Galaxy”! If we could but choose one woman to fly through time and space with however, it’d definitely be her!

There aren’t too many top of the bill actresses to match Amy Adams, and there aren’t too many more attractive than her either! Adams’ rise as one of Hollywood’s leading names has run parallel to her becoming one of the hottest people on the planet! She was worth fighting for in “The Fighter”, and well worth hustling for in “American Hustle”... As Lois Lane in “Man of Steel” and “Batman v Superman,” she’s looking superhot for the superheroes! This is a high profile redhead, and with very good reason!

Our runner-up is actually a natural blonde, but so well known, well loved, and well fantasised over has Emma Stone’s red-headed look become, she scoops second place all the same! Ever since breakthrough roles in “Zombieland” and “Easy A”, Stone has been soaring to ever-greater success, and ever-greater sexiness! In “Gangster Squad” especially, Stone played the scarlet woman to perfection! Even those that didn’t like the movie loved her one-shouldered red dress look! How is it even possible for one person to look that pretty??

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
- Evan Rachel Wood
- Kate Mara
- Bryce Dallas Howard
- Florence Welch
- Cintia Dicker
- Barbara Meier

Just when you thought our red-headed roll call couldn’t get any more red hot than it already is, we hit you with a helping of Christina Hendricks! As Joan Harris in “Mad Men,” this lady has made men (and women) go weak at the knees on a weekly basis for some time! An indisputably talented actress, she has earned extra admiration the world over for her hourglass figure to die for, and for her emergence as a modern role model for women. She’s an all-round red-headed winner!
