25 Gingers We Actually Love

Thanks to South Park, "gingers" (that's natural redheads with freckles) have become a lesser breed. Not so. In fact, we love'em. To prove we're serious, here are 25 ladies so adorable, they'll make you blush (who's the ginger now?!).

Isla Fisher

Time to debunk a myth: Gingers are not inferior to their melanin-rich counterparts. Need proof? You can either listen to this red-haired, freckled boy rant on the existance of Ginger souls or you can take looksie at a few women who prove that fire red hair is smokin' hot.
Wedding Crashers actress Isla Fisher is the everywoman Ginger, proving that the style can make our jaws drop in any era, old school or modern. Or in this case, both.

Nicole Kidman

Like many a Ginger actress, Nicole Kidman's been forced to dye her natural red do over the course of her career, but we'll always treasure the practical magic of her natural look.
Lindsay Lohan - Redhead

Pre-Crazy Lindsay Lohan

Fond memories of the pure red-headed, pale Lindsay Lohan continue to keep our fingers in the crossed position, hoping one day the chaos-ridden actress will one day return to us in her pure, Ginger form. For now, we'll have to stick with our copy of Just My Luck.
Amy Adams - Hot Redhead

Amy Adams

Simply put, we love Amy Adams. What is it about Ginger women that makes them appear to be so down to earth?
Answer: pale skin. Evidence that they're staying grounded on our planet as opposed to surface of the sun.
Christina Hendricks

Christina Hendricks

It goes without saying that Christina Hendricks has some of the greatest...assets of this generation, but we're going out on a limb and saying we'd still be drooling over her with or without the dress-fillers. The fact that we are able to avert our eyes, look up and still be wooed is a testament to the lady's Ginger look.

Bryce Dallas Howard - Hot Redhead

Bryce Dallas Howard

We're very lucky. Being the daughter of Ron Howard could have gone very, very (genetically) wrong,  but thankfully, Bryce Howard managed to avoid dweebish Richie Cunningham in favor of smoking hot Ginger attributes.
Worst part of Spider-Man 3? Not the emo dance scene - it was dying Howard blonde. For shame!
Jayma Mays

Jayma Mays

If you're feeling a twinge of guilt for thinking the ladies of Glee are adorable (they're only playing high schoolers), let this be a reminder that there's nothing wrong with singing a love ballad for one of the teachers. Jayma Mays plays the softspoken guidance counsler of the hit musical show, but in recent episodes, she's shown as much (or more) sex drive as her high school co-stars.
Redheads - they're fiesty.
Julianne Moore - Hot Redhead

Julianne Moore

We're not agist - if you've still got the goods, then why should we complain? Extra years equal extra experience.
Julianne Moore hit the big 5-0 this year, but you know what? She's still packing the looks and confident enough in her Ginger allure that she stripped down for her most recent movie, The Kids Are All Right. The kids might be all right, but Moore is out of this world.
Elly Jackson - La Roux

Elly Jackson

This lead singer of La Roux might be the hottest androgynous Ginger since Tilda Swinton (or David Bowie?). We're not even sure what makes Jackson so attractive - the spunk? The glaring eyes? The flock of seagulls haircut? - but a little mystery goes a long way in blowing Ginger standards out of the water.
Rooney Mara - Hot Redhead

Rooney Mara

People have been debating over whether The Social Network was misogynistic. They obviously didn't see the opening scene, where Rooney Mara tells her character's boyfriend Mark Zuckerberg to go suck a d*ck. Well, she had a slightly more elegant way of putting it, but it was still enough to wow audiences and put this up-and-coming Ginger in the big leagues.
And a list of our favorite lady Gingers wouldn't be complete with only one Mara...

Kate Mara - Hot Redheads

Kate Mara

Rooney's big sister Kate has also paved her way into Hollywood with Ginger looks and caviar dreams. Most recently she popped up in 127 Hours, the movie about the guy trapped under a boulder, forced to cut his own arm off. Sound grisly? Don't feel too bad - the dude had a video of Kate Mara swimming in a cave pool in her underwear. Makes the whole thing worth it.
Bonnie Wright - Hot Redhead

Bonnie Wright

Bonnie Wright, the Ginger starlett of the Harry Potter franchise. Like a witch constantly casting her Incendio spell (get it - fire!), Wright lights up the screen and gives us a reason to sigh with relief. Good looking Gingers aren't going anywhere in the near future.
Amanda Righetti - Hot Redhead

Amanda Righetti

Before she found herself as the target of Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th remake, Righetti was making our, erm, blood pressure, rise as the aunt-we-know-were-not-supposed-to-thinks-hot-but-is-totally-hot on The O.C.
It's hard not to stare when the black sheep of the family's got striking red locks.
Lauren Ambrose - Hot Redhead

Lauren Ambrose

We're waiting patiently for Lauren Ambrose's slew of new projects to find their way to us, but until then, we're perfectly content screaming her name from atop Ginger mountain. Yes, Ginger mountain, a rock formation where we built a shrine to Ambrose's off-beat attitude and natural redheaded beauty.
Google it.
Deborah Ann Woll - Hot Redhead

Deborah Ann Woll

A Ginger with serious bite. Woll plays Jessica on HBO's True Blood and gives the show a necessary injection of red. Hair and neck blood, naturally.

Kate Walsh - Hot Redhead

Kate Walsh

Attractive Gingers make life worth living. If you've ever had the unfortunate experience of being forced into an episode of Grey's Anatomy or Private Practice, then you know what we're talking about. There's only so much medical melodrama a guy can take in a single day, so we're thankful for Kate Walsh, for alieviating a portion of that pain with her stunning Ginger attributes.
Kate, we're ready to play doctor when you are.
Alyson Hannigan - Hot Redhead

Alyson Hannigan

Producers of How I Met Your Mother, wise up. You turned our favorite band camper into a brunette and we want her back.
Alicia Witt

Alicia Witt

Resist your urge to make fun of Gingers. One minute they're band dorks obsessed with oboes, next they're all grown up, smoking hot and starring on the best-show-you're-watching. That's what happened to Alicia Witt, who appeared in Mr. Holland's Opus, disappeared and now stars on Friday Night Lights while making us eat our hat for doubting she had the goods. Forgive us!
Rachelle Lefevre

Rachelle Lefevre

Few people realize that Twilight: Eclipse was a behind-the-scenes Battle of the Gingers. Rachelle Lefevre originated the role of Victoria in Twilight and New Moon before Bryce Dallas Howard stepped in for Eclipse.
In our opinion, they should have kept Rachelle along with adding Howard. Two smoking hot Gingers for the price of one!
Karen Gillan - Hot Redhead

Karen Gillan

Who, you say? No, Doctor Who.
Karen Gillan is the latest companion to the time travelling doctor, and quite possibly, the hottest lady ever to ride the TARDIS. We'll have to do a little more research, but we're wondering if it's even possible she's from this planet - we didn't think they made them like that here.

Zena Grey

Zena Grey

If you saw Wes Craven's My Soul to Take, you know why anybody with a brain would assist in the murder of the idiot teenagers featured in the movie. But there was a shining light: Zena Grey. The curly-haired Ginger gave Soul some much needed life. Or, at least, some bright colors to look at.
Lily Cole - Hot Redhead

Lily Cole

The British model and actress does appear to be capable of aging, but at least she's stuck on a fine looking year of life. Dazzling red hair, glowing skin and a deadly beautiful smile - we doubt she'll be fading any time soon.
Laura Harring - Hot Redhead

Laura Herring

Herring automatically wins points for being one of the few Gingers on the list born in Mexico. She also wins points for the undeniable power of her thighs.
Heather Graham - Hot Redhead

Heather Graham

Another Ginger who's spent too much time under the cover of another color, Heather Graham is at her best when donning her natural firecracker look. What's wrong Hollywood, only blondes can play call girls, porn stars and secret agents? Spread the love!
Danneel Harris - Hot Redhead

Danneel Harris

Trust us that Danneel Harris is a legit Ginger and give her a pass for this one.
