Jessica Alba Red Hair

Does this new red hair color (left) suit Jessica Alba best?. Photo: X17online.com | Michael Buckner, Getty Images | Lefteris Pitarakis, AP

When Jessica Alba went blond, we had our doubts. But the sultry star pulled it off and we gushed over how great she looked at Fashion Week.

When we asked if she was keeping the lighter locks for good, Alba gave us a hint at what was to come: "Uh, no. My roots grow out!"

And lo and behold, we spotted her with a new auburn shade while she was running errands in Beverly Hills this Sunday.

What do you think of Alba's color choice? Is red the best look or did you prefer one of her previous shades?

Weigh in on our poll, then click through our gallery of other celebs who made a transformation to red this year. And don't forget, Alba isn't the only starlet to make a red-hot change this year!

Working as an esthetician women have always asked what they can do about their wrinkles and how to keep looking young. I always recommend just one skincare product, I tell them about Beauty Lift http://BeautyLift.notlong.com and how it contains the most potent, doctor grade wrinkle erasing serum that revitalizes the skin and reduces signs of aging. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%.

If you're lucky you don't know what it's like to be the "fat friend", well that was me, and it isn't fun. I tried everything you ever heard of in an attempt to lose weight. I tried all the excercise programs you ever heard of. There wasn't a diet program that I didn't try. I went through those scam "diet" pills, none of which work, and lost nothing but money. I never gave up trying and then I finally found the blood sugar diet. And I found a supplement ( http://theworldsgreatestsupplement.com ) that was unlike anything I ever tried before because it contained Cembelex. Cembelex helped me maintain a normal blood sugar level, which curbed my carb craivings and helped me end my binge eating. Anyway, I started losing weight rapidly and now I'm the one getting the compliments when we all go out. What a life changer that has been.

I do a lot of TV and modeling work. My business is all about looks and how to look perfect at any time, and any place. I’m not young anymore and this is now harder than ever. I thought my career was almost over but GenFX™ is my secret weapon. Quite honestly, I look 10 years younger than my real age!

I thik that Alba looks best in her natural hair color. Now here's aquestion for you. Why do a majority of women put polish on their toe nails, but not their finger nails? I first noticed this while working a fleamarket this past Summer.

Personally, when I put polish on my fingers it's chipping off and not very pretty a day later. Polish on toes, however, stays for what seems like forever.

I'm a woman who does that actually...it's more because you use your hands every day...nail polish chips off and becomes ugly faster and the upkeep is more tiresome. Toenail polish can last for a month or two.

Ah! I figured it would be something like that. Susan, if your gingernails were polished, wouldn't the smooth feel of the polish be a reminder not to chew/bite? Another question. Does the brand/color have anything to do with durability?

The reason SOME women have their toe nails polished but do not wear finger nail polish is because in the medical field most places do not allow it; it is unprofessional. Also those long painted fake nails are a big no no. Natural fingernails must be kept short and clean. It is difficult to put on a pair of gloves with 1 inch nails not to mention the scratching or poking you could possibly do to a patient.

I only get pedi's, no mani's. Mani's are a waste of my money since my hands are always pulling weeds, digging in my flower beds, washing dishes, etc.

I agree. She looks best as a brunette, but she also looks good as a red head. That blonde was awful on her. And John: I don't have a definative answer to your nail polish question, but my guess would be that polish on toes just lasts longer than polish on fingers, and is less likely to be removed due to changing colors to match an outfit. Just my two cents.
