Sophie Turner Will Always Associate Red Hair With Powerful & Strong Women

Sophie Turner brushes her hair back while leaving her hotel in New York City on Thursday morning (February 22).

The 22-year-old Game of Thrones actress rocked a pair of black plaid pants while on her way to some more business meetings.

Speaking with People recently, Sophie opened up about going back to her natural blonde hair color, and why she’ll always associate her red hair with powerful women.

“As a redhead, I was originally really shy. I was 13 and changed my hair from blonde to red [for the show] and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is so weird, this is not me’,” she shared. “But my role in Game of Thrones went from being a very vulnerable and insecure young girl to being a powerful woman who is very confident in herself and very empowered.”

“So whenever I think of my red hair, I relate it to such a strong woman.”

Sophie adds, “Whenever I go red, I feel like, F— yeah’… [and] as a blonde, it’s empowering in a different way. I went back to my natural color and I was like, ‘Damn, I feel like Sophie again’.”
