Married At First Sight’s Domenica Calarco is almost unrecognisable in resurfaced photos taken all the way back in 2016 – before her MAFS transformation.

The reality TV star made headlines last month after ditching her honey locks for a new platinum blonde bob, but it looks like that wasn’t her first dramatic makeover.

Newly resurfaced photos dredged up from the archives of Getty reveal what the outspoken star looked like when she was just 23 and attending one of her first Mercedes-Benz Fashion Weeks in Sydney in 2016.

Sporting a blunt black bob and huge aviator glasses, Dom was missing her signature blonde hair and bold eyeshadow.

Time hasn’t changed her incredible bone structure though and while fans had to do a double-take at first, her high cheekbones and pout give her identity away.

But her outfit looked like something out of a fashion time capsule dated back ot the mid-2010s.

Her beige sleeveless dress from Bally may look a little outdated now, but in 2016 the $3,400 number was totally chic.

Domenica paired the suede dress with Miu Miu sunglasses and a pair of platform wedge By Johnny sandals that seem to have predicted her latest fashion obsession.

She and MAFS bestie Ella have been rocking huge platform pumps for months now, favouring brands like Naked Wolfe and YSL.

Though Domenica has had a massive transformation in the years since the 2016 snaps were taken, it’s clear to see how her unique sense of style has carried through.

From the short dress to the platforms and blunt haircut, Dom’s clearly been curating her look for years.

So will she being dyeing her hair dark again any time soon?

She was sporting a trendy bronde colour when she started filming MAFS and has been going blonder ever since, currently sporting a shaggy platinum bob.

Based on photos from her Instagram, the last time Domenica went truly dark was all the way back in 2018, only going lighter in the years since.

But from the moment she left MAFS she’s been proving that she loves nothing more than a style shakeup, so we wouldn’t put it past her to debut a bold new look any day now.
