Media personality Sophie Monk has left her followers utterly astonished with a complete style overhaul, revealing a dramatic new look just one day after hosting a major awards ceremony.
A Shocking Transformation
On Thursday, the Love Island host took to Instagram to showcase a radical departure from her signature blonde bombshell image. Sophie unveiled a stunning new appearance, trading her platinum locks for cascading brunette hair that flowed all the way down to her waist.
In the captivating video, the 45-year-old struck a series of dramatic poses in front of a wind machine, wearing a sheer brown corseted dress and a separate sparkly low-cut frock. She completed the glamorous look with a dramatic eye makeup and lined lips.
Sharing her thoughts on the change, Sophie captioned the post: 'Not going to lie. I do feel smarter being brunette @kokomayneluxehaircollection thank you sooo much.' She clarified that the stunning new hair was actually a remarkably natural-looking wig.
From Awards Host to Style Icon
This stunning reveal came just 24 hours after Sophie hosted the TikTok Awards in Sydney on Wednesday night, where she made a show-stopping entrance on the red carpet.
For that event, she had chosen a sleek designer gown that hugged her figure, with her straight blonde hair perfectly framing her radiant smile as she posed for photographers.
In a memorable moment from the awards, Sophie and Australian drag queen Courtney Act appeared to be twinning, both choosing striking black ensembles featuring thigh-high splits. Their blonde locks were styled to perfection, creating such a similar look that fans speculated the duo could have been mistaken for sisters.
A Star-Studded Celebration
The TikTok Awards themselves were a major event, celebrating the country's top creators across diverse fields including comedy, fashion, sport, business, and music.
Fifteen awards were handed out on the night, which attracted a host of famous faces beyond Sophie Monk.
The red carpet saw head-turning looks from Adam Hyde, MAFS star Jules Robinson, and social media sensation Indy Clinton. They were joined by Today's Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo, along with media veteran Jessica Rowe, making it one of the most talked-about events in the Australian entertainment calendar.
