It's the first time that Hale has sported red hair, according to an Instagram post from Ess.

"[Lucy Hale] has had every hair color under the sun except red. My lil colorist heart is full and now we officially know this chick looks good with any hair color," Ess wrote in an Instagram post of Hale's new hair look on Monday.

Soon after showing off her new hair with her fans on social media, Hale shared a screenshot on her Instagram story of a text exchange with "Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland.

Hyland appeared to send Hale a photo of herself with hair that looks to be a similar shade.

Hale replied to the photo, writing: "DAWG" and "HOW," and tagged Sarah Hyland's Instagram handle with two red-haired emoji.

"Officially twins now?" Hyland wrote to Hale.

According to posts on Hyland's Instagram page, the "Modern Family" actress appears to have dyed her red hair a lighter shade around August. 

Earlier in the year, Hyland documented another hair color transformation. In May, she shared on her Instagram story that she tried to dye her hair pink but ended up with red strands that reminded her of "The Little Mermaid."

It's also not the first time that Hale and Hyland have joked about being look-alikes. 

The pair have been friends for years. In 2017, Hale posted a photo with Hyland and captioned it "My twin."

My twin ❤❤❤

Hale has also previously commented that she thinks she and Hyland look alike. 

In a 2018 interview with Insider's Kirsten Acuna, Hale spoke about her celebrity doppelgängers and said that she thinks she and Hyland have a "similar vibe."

"Me and Sarah [Hyland] are both petite with big eyes," Hale told Insider.

Throughout the year, several celebrities have shared photos of their dyed hair, with many opting for bold colors, including pink and blue.

In March, singer Ricky Martin posted a photo of himself with his hair dyed pink.

"Maleficent" star Elle Fanning, who typically sports blonde hair, also posted a photo of herself with pink hair at the end of March.

And Hilary Duff revealed a hair transformation this year. The "Younger" actress cut her hair and colored it blue, later crediting her husband, Matthew Kona, for dyeing her hair. 

Representatives for Sarah Hyland, Lucy Hale, and Kristin Ess, respectively, did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.
