Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton looks almost unrecognisable as she debuts dark brown hair – after removing her wrist tattoos

Stacey Hampton had fans doing a double take on Saturday as she unveiled a new look on Instagram. 

The reality star, 26, who rose to fame as Married At First Sight‘s blonde bombshell bride, debuted a head of dark brown hair as she enjoyed a night in with her gal pals in Adelaide

Wearing her much-darker tresses in an intricate, braided style, the mother-of-two looked almost unrecognisable as she posed in front of a plain white door.

Welcome to the dark side! Married At First Sight’s Stacey Hampton, 26, looked almost unrecognisable as she debut3d dark brown hair in this stunning Instagram shot on Saturday 

‘Dinners in winter,’ she wrote in the caption. 

Showing off her expensive taste, Stacey wore a Louis Vuitton tweed mini-skirt, matched with a figure-hugging white skivvy and black Fendi tights. 

The bronzed glamazon wore a heavy layer of makeup, including pink lipstick, dark eye shadow and a peach blush, and finished off her look with a chunky wrist watch.

‘Friends that pay you out are friends for life,’ she wrote in the caption, before jokingly making reference to her dark spray tan by adding: ‘Ps I went to Italy real quick and got sunburnt.’ 

Stacey’s new hair is the latest transformation for the reality star, who is currently in the process of getting her smaller tattoos removed.

The small inking bore the name Alastair – Stacey’s late father who killed himself aged just 25.

In June, she also shared a clip showing a technician at a clinic using a laser device on her foot.

‘Ouch, but so worth it,’ she said of the procedure on the post.    

Back in April, she revealed to her fans that she would be getting the smaller tattoos ‘lasered off’ in a Q&A video on her YouTube channel. 

In that discussion she also talked about her very detailed stomach tattoo, which she got as a tribute to her late brother, who died on the day she was due to give birth to her first child.

Stacey rarely shows off the large tattoo because it’s ‘very sentimental’ to her and makes her feel a ‘little self-conscious’ in public.

‘My stomach tattoo is very sentimental. When my brother died I was pregnant with my firstborn. So after he was born I got a tribute on my stomach.’

The black and white tattoo has her brother’s name and the words ‘forever young’.

She explained: ‘I may or may not post a close-up one day, but it’s very sentimental to me. Even with bikinis I’ll wear a one-piece or put a sarong over it.’
