Ashley Darby Debuts a Stunning New Hair Color (PICS)
The RHOP mom showed off her updated look during holiday celebrations with her friends and castmates.
New year, new look.
After spending the past several months with golden brown locks, Ashley Darby decided to enter 2024 with an updated hairstyle — and it was nothing short of gorgeous. The Real Housewives of Potomac mom ditched the lighter shade in favor of a dark brown color that was equal parts sleek and timeless. She showed off the refresh in a couple of Instagram photos that were taken during a holiday dinner with her RHOP castmates.
One of the pictures (shared on December 19) showed Ashley rocking a sexy white minidress with a playful cutout under the bust, a pair of white heels with feather details on the vamp, and a classic side-part 'do with soft curls. The mother of two posed alongside Robyn Dixon, Mia Thornton, Gizelle Bryant, and newbie Nneka Ihim, as well as RHOP alum Charrisse Jackson-Jordan.
“My heart is so incredibly full,” Ashley captioned the snap. “Thank you for the laughs, fun, and bomb gifts! I love you ladies so much, and this white elephant was a true success! Happy Holidays babes!”
Ashley Darby shows off her dark brown hair
She provided another look on Thursday, December 28, as she prepared to hit the town with a group of friends. The Potomac 'Wife posted a stunning fit pic in which she donned an all-black ensemble that included a fitted Mugler blazer with a sheer corset, black hosiery, and a pair of stiletto ankle boots. She completed the edgy look with a gold necklace, hoop earrings, and a dark lip that went perfectly with her new hair color.
Since joining the Bravoverse in 2011, Ashley has rocked a wide range of hairstyles and colors. We’ve seen the former Miss District of Columbia don everything from French braids and a retro-inspired bob to golden brown curls and a dark slicked-back ponytail.
Ashley Darby's Breast Augmentation
But hair wasn’t the only feature Ashley changed up this year. Back in February, the RHOP cast member announced she had received another breast augmentation roughly 10 years after she got her first implants.
“I was holding off on [the surgery]… I’ve been wanting it [since] after I breastfed [my son] Dylan and things were hanging down to my waist,” she said in an Instagram video. “But I was told that if I got any sort of augmentation I would not be able to breastfeed if I had children in the future. So that deterred me… My doctor said actually as long as I just do an implant swap, instead of a breast lift where they really readjust things, that I’d be fine. So I did an implant swap. I was due.”
Ashley Darby says's happy with her new look
Ashley highlighted the “girls” in RHOP’s Season 8, Episode 2 when she joined Gizelle, Mia, and fellow ’Wife Karen Huger for a pilates class. While testing out the machinery, Ashley asked the instructor if it was OK for her to participate in the exercise as she had received new implants a couple of months before.
Moments later, the episode cut to Ashley’s sit-down interview, where she formally introduced fans to her breasts, which she nicknamed “Demi” and “Diamond.”
“I got them about two months ago,” she said, "and I’m really happy with my decision. I like them.”
