Key Takeaways

She Did a Thing…

Melissa Ordway recently got into the Christmas spirit. Now, she admitted that she “did a thing.” She took to Instagram to unveil her latest look. This time, she had longer hair with brunette tones, which added warmth to her already tanned complexion.

Ordway sought inspiration from Nobody Wants This Star, Kristen Bell, who plays Joanne, a sex podcaster, who falls in love with Noah (Adam Brody), who’s a rabbi. In Season 2, they explore their relationship and whether it’ll survive despite their differences.

However, Ordway was already having “second thoughts” about her dramatic transformation. She wasn’t so sure if she should stick with this new look, as she’s used to her signature blonde locks.

Ordway was inspired by Bell’s look in the second season. The Y&R star admitted that she wanted to go even lighter. In the caption, she wrote, “I did a thing… 🤎, was inspired by @kristenanniebell in @nobodywantsthisofficial but having second thoughts…. Be honest, do I keep or go way more blonde? 🥸😳”

Getting The Seal of Approval

Ordway’s Y&R co-stars took to the comments section to share their thoughts. Tracey Bregman wrote, “Love it!!!😍” while Courtney Hope wrote the same.

Meanwhile, Eileen Davidson suggested to Ordway that she could always change it if she didn’t like it. That’s the great thing about hair. It’s not always permanent, even if it feels like it.

“LOVE IT! You can always go back later!” Davidson commented. Bryton James, who plays Ordway’s onscreen hubby, Devon, shared his seal of approval by adding, “👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽”

Abby’s New Look

We think Devon would fall in love with Abby’s new look. As for the fans, most of them were in agreement with Ordway’s dramatic transformation. They suggested that she stick to her new look, as it’s appropriate for the fall and winter season.

Then, she could go lighter in the summer if she wants to. One person wrote, “Looks fabulous for fall! You look so natural, both blonde and brown!” Someone else commented, “Keep for the winter!! Looks fantastic and go blonder this next summer!!”
