Remember 8 Simple Rules Star Amy Davidson? What The Vibrant Redheaded Actor Looks Like Now
Natural redheads are so unique, they instantly catch our eye when they walk into a room — or show up on our TV screens. "8 Simple Rules" star Amy Davidson is one of many red-haired celebrities who make us want to try the flaming-hot look. The series' spunky middle daughter was known for her fiery red and naturally curly mane. Davidson was just 23 years old when the series premiered in 2002, and she turned 47 in September 2026. After nearly two-and-a-half decades, it's only natural to wonder what Davidson looks like now and — more importantly — if she still has that vibrant hair color.
For those curious, the answer is yes: Davidson still has that same stunning red hair! In a picture of her at the Evening from the Heart Los Angeles Gala at Sunset Room Hollywood in 2025, she wore her fiery red hair loose around her shoulders in soft curls. It was softer and more elegant than the wild, untamed curls that she rocked on "8 Simple Rules," which made her look more glamorous and mature.
Davidson maintains her red hair by dyeing her gray roots at home. In a September 2026 promotional video for L'Oréal Paris on Instagram, Davidson said she's been doing her own hair for a while now. "At this point, I've pretty much mastered the art of keeping this red fresh," she added in the caption.
Amy Davidson is focused on her health and sobriety journey
Amy Davidson has had some major life changes since leaving "8 Simple Rules," including marrying Kacy Lockwood in 2010 and welcoming their son, Lennox Sawyer Lockwood, in 2016. The "Killing It" actor also celebrated a huge milestone in her sobriety journey: being around 600 days alcohol free. She shared a post on Instagram on August 18, 2026, commemorating specifically 594 days sober.
"It's kind of chic to CHOOSE not to drink on a daily basis," she wrote over one photo. Over another, she said, "It's kind of chic to look in the mirror and be proud of myself." Davidson looks beautiful in these snaps, and it's clear that she has joined the ranks of other female celebrities who ditched alcohol and look absolutely radiant.
Davidson is focused on her physical health as well. In June 2026, she posted a mirror selfie on Instagram taken inside [solidcore] gym, dressed in a green crop top and black leggings. She had no makeup on, and her hair looked sweaty, as if she just finished working out. "They say quitting is easy, but showing up is hard," Davidson captioned the post. "They're right ... I considered quitting every 10 seconds." We're happy she doesn't, because she looks amazing.
