Home and Away's Samara Weaving shocks with transformation: 'Wow'

Former Home and Away star Samara Weaving has stepped out with a brand new look. The actress, 30, has swapped her trademark blonde locks for an unusual style.

After hitting the salon in Sydney, the Ready or Not star looked stunning with a layered blonde cut and brunette bangs framing her face. Some fans said she was ‘unrecognisable’, and the darker fringe helps her blue eyes stand out.

Samara shared a number of snaps and videos of her new hair on Instagram, with her latest caption simply saying: “More hair content”.

Her celebrity pals went wild over the stunning new look, with model Lara Worthington and Home and Away star Georgie Parker liking the post.
