Last season, Ashley Darby's voluminous curly wig became quite the hot topic. Let's just say fans had a lot of thoughts about The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 4 interview look — and it appears that this upcoming season, Ashley will be breaking out yet another buzz-worthy hairstyle.

On July 29, the new mom shared a promo photo from RHOP Season 5 (which premieres on August 2 at 9/8c, FYI) that truly stopped us in our tracks. Naturally, Ashley looked stunning in the photo, as always, but it wasn't the Ashley we're used to. The yogi had a completely different look.

Instead of her bouncy blonde curls, Ashley rocked a sleek, super long ponytail and a new, dark hair color. A new hairstyle and color all at once — we weren't even close to ready for this dramatic switch-up. 

In the snap, Ashley appeared all dressed up in what seems to be a sparkly silver dress and full glam makeup featuring a bold red lip. We're guessing this pic was taken at a special event. Honestly, we have so many questions about this look, but one thing is for certain, she looked like a total bombshell. We cannot wait to learn all about this fabulous hair change once the season gets rolling. 

Stay tuned for The Real Housewives of Potomac Season 5 premiere on Sunday, August 2 at 9/8c!
