Is Ashley Olsen a Redhead Now?

Wait a New York Minute, is that a pumpkin spice Olsen we see? Ashley Olsen, she of Mary-Kate &, she of The Row, she of basically never getting photographed in public (privacy slay!), just stepped out in New York City wearing her signature oversized layers (remember her sweatpants in the dead of summer moment?), a fall scarf, and sporting…reddish hair?
You’ll have to see it to believe it, so see it right here.
It could be a trick of the light, bringing forth copper undertones in what’s actually a brown shade, but it’s definitely not the dirty blonde we typically associate with the Olsen twins, and Ashley in particular. In the photo, the star turned designer wears wide-legged jeans, a drape-y black blouse, opaque sunglasses and, of course, black The Row Ama Slides ($620). Possibly more than we would pay for rubber shower shoes but, hey, can you put a price on style? Ash and JLaw are going full socks-with-sandals mode, anything is possible.
According to Page Six, this photo was taken on Friday, September 19. Which is interesting because here’s a photo of both Olsens (yes, we know there is a third, Marvel star Elizabeth, this is not about her), on September 11:

They’re hanging out with W editor Sara Moonves at a NYFW event and Ashley Olsen is wearing more or less the same outfit. Same scarf, possibly the same jeans, not the same shoes but beneath her jacket, could be the same top. (Hair not yet red/reddish/red-adjacent, though.) Ashley Olsen says outfit repeating is okay so I don’t wanna hear outfit repeating isn’t okay because Ashley Olsen says outfit repeating is okay. And of course she does. As a twin, she herself is a repeat.
If you’re auburn-curious, we have a while bunch of reddish shades to consider, from crayola firetruck to subtly maroon. Take a scroll through the look book and see what strikes your fancy!
