Ashley Olsen debuted a bold new look on Friday, trading her signature blond for a ginger hair color as she stepped out in New York City. The Full House alum, 39, was bundled for autumn in a black long-sleeve blouse, wide-leg blue jeans and black The Row Ama Slides ($620). She accessorized with a tote bag, a large green and beige scarf and dark sunglasses.
The new red hue marks a stark contrast from the blond that she and Mary-Kate have worn for years, and the sisters have been stepping out at more public events in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Ashley and Mary-Kate attended a New York Fashion Week afterparty, signaling a shift toward more frequent public appearances while maintaining their low-profile approach.
The sighting comes as the duo has been making more public appearances. The pair were photographed at a Bloomingdale’s and W Magazine afterparty last week, alongside the publication’s editor-in-chief, Sara Moonves. Mary-Kate wore an oversized, colorful scarf paired with a gray shirt and black slacks, finishing the look with chic black boots and a classic black handbag. Ashley, for her part, wore a black trench coat, denim jeans and black boots, layered with a green print scarf and paired with a black bag. They still attempted to keep a low profile by covering their faces when entering and leaving the venue.
Last month, the New York Minute stars were seen at their The Row storefront in the Hamptons. The sisters were photographed in muted, matching outfits as they browsed and talked inside the shop, signaling they are re-emerging in public on a broader schedule.
