A new year has brought a new look for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS star Melissa Ordway (Abby)! “A little blonder for 2023,” she shared on Instagram with a selfie of her updated hair color, now a snowy white blonde.

The actress tagged stylist Callie Metz to thank her for the refresh to her color that she received at the Hunter Paige salon in Brentwood, TN. And we’re not the only ones who think she looks gorgeous.

Y&R co-star Lauralee Bell (Christine) commented on her Insta post with a heart-eyes emoji, and Ordway’s real-life husband (and temporary Chance fill-in), Justin Gaston, posted three heart-eyes emojis and joked: “Call me!”

Of course, Ordway always looks stunning no matter how she wears her hair. Don’t believe us? Just scroll through the gallery below of some of her hottest looks for the proof!
