Ashley Olsen [1] usually sticks strictly to her signature style [2] — oversize cuts, chunky jewels, and plenty of black [3]. Of course, when you're a chic-looking New Yorker [4], that's never a bad thing.
But it looks like the designer packed a bit of color in her suitcase for her trip to California, where she made an appearance [5] at Hammer Museum's Gala in the Garden event. While her maxi took a long, flowing silhouette that we're used to seeing on Ashley, the draped silk featured a pretty pastel print that really stood out — especially when paired with those spindly statement earrings.
Read on to see a few more angles of Ashley's decidedly colorful outfit — we don't think we've seen her look so bright since her movie star days [6]! — and see how she accessorized with square-toe patent leather boots, a crocodile satchel, and rings. Once you're inspired by her bold new style [7], shop for similar eye-catching dresses!

Ashley toted a square leather crocodile handbag, flashing her pretty rings, which complemented the colors in her dress.
Ashley was the bright change to the rest of the crew's all-black, leather looks. Here, she posed with Hammer Museum director Annie Philbin, Maggie, and Saree Kayne.
