Jennifer Love Hewitt Unveils Hair Transformation During Rare Red Carpet Appearance

Jennifer Love Hewitt looks a bit different this summer.

During the I Know What You Did Last Summer premiere at Los Angeles’ United Theater on July 14, the actress traded in her signature brunette hairstyle for a more ginger-toned look.

For her first red carpet appearance since the March 2024 premiere of 9-1-1, the 46-year-old—who shares kids Autumn, 11, Atticus, 10, and Aidan, 3, with husband Brian Hallisay—donned a black ankle-length dress covered in intricate jeweled beading, silver jewelry and a pair of black heels with silver detailing.

After all, the premiere was cause for celebration as Jennifer will join Freddie Prinze Jr. in reprising their roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, respectively, from the 1997 film of the same name and its 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

“I was hesitant at first,” Jennifer recently told The Hollywood Reporter of her return to the franchise. “I wanted to make sure that she fit into the movie in the right way and that there was a reason for her to come back besides just the ‘90s nostalgia moment.”
