In a way there is somewhat of a resemblence between the two in image, but not too similar. They both seem to ahve that bold personality and risk taking trait, but I believe the main difference is that Ashe did it out of character, while it seems that Lightning will simply be herself and not put on a "front". She is a warrior and fighter, expected to battle, while Ashe went incognito and like Reina, Dagger, and Yuna, all went from lifestyles of royalty and religion-based types, to fighting mages or warriors.
