Ashlee Simpson: From fair to raven-haired

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has gone full circle through the spectrum of hair colors in the past year. From light blonde to blood red to her current color of raven black, there is nothing that she won’t try and nothing that she won’t look great in.

She debuted her new color yesterday while exiting a medical building in Beverly Hills, California. She complimented her new hair color with dark wash denim and a too-cute-for-words black and white striped top.

As we mentioned a few days ago, hubby Pete Wentz told E! Online that Ash dyed her hair for an upcoming role. However, it can’t possibly be for Chicago, as Roxie Hart is a blonde. Or perhaps they’re taking it in another direction?

I have a personal theory that this is a big F-U to Melrose Place. Though Ash has always experimented with red hair, it was necessary for her role as Violet because Sydney had red hair as well. I also recall reading that she frequently had to have her hair re-dyed because of how bright of a red it had to be, so maybe this is meant to be a statement to the producers.

What do you think of Ash‘s new look and the potential reasoning behind it?
