Emma Thompson wowed on the red carpet on Monday night (11 November) with a glittery new hairstyle that couldn't be more festive.

The actress chose to co-ordinate her hair to her outfit at the UK premiere of her new film, Last Christmas, teaming a bright purple coat with matching star hair transfers on her locks.

The 60-year-old wore her signature blonde pixie cut slicked back with gel and topped off with sparkling purple stars, plus an extra sprinkling of purple glitter.

Emma didn't stop there with the purple theme either, as she wore a chic mauve eyeshadow on her eyes, and completed her look with a berry lip.

We don't know about you but we're seriously considering glitter hair for this year's Christmas party.

Not only did Emma script Last Christmas alongside husband Greg Wise but she also plays main character Emilia Clarke's mother in the festive film, which is based around the music of George Michael.
