"Katie Cassidy stood out at one of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week&amp;apos;s most star-studded events in New York City, thanks to her brand-new hair color.\r\n\r\nClad in a form-fitting pink cocktail dress, the natural blonde, 24, debuted a rich, glossy brunette color during the QVC Fashion Week Show on September 10. The next day, she hit up several shows with her hair pulled back in a chic side-parted ponytail.\r\n\r\nThis isn&amp;apos;t the first time the Monte Carlo actress has showed off her darker side -- she dyed her hair brown for her 2009 role in CBS&amp;apos; Harper&amp;apos;s Island.\r\n&amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s interesting to see how people react. When I was blonde, it was almost as if people didn&amp;apos;t take me as seriously. Like, &amp;apos;Oh, here&amp;apos;s another blonde girl.&amp;apos; I don&amp;apos;t think it&amp;apos;s fair,&amp;quot; Cassidy told Maxim.com in a 2009 interview.\r\n\r\nNo word on whether the California native&amp;apos;s hair-hue switch is for a new role or she&amp;apos;s just staying on-trend by experimenting with a new color for fall, which she had done at NYC&amp;apos;s Valery Joseph Salon.Tell Us: Do you think Katie looks better as a blonde or a brunette?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
