MAFS star stuns in bikini as fans say she looks ‘so different’

Former Married At First Sight star Melissa Lucarelli has taken to Instagram to share a throwback bikini snap leaving fans stunned.

"Boat life memories," she captioned the snap of herself in a stylish black bikini as she looked out into the distance on a boat in Sydney Harbour.

The 39-year-old has had a dramatic makeover since finishing up on the show in 2019.

The reality star-turned-influencer was known for being a little quirky on the show but looks very glamorous nowadays.

"You look amazing and so different from when you were on MAFS," one follower commented.

"How are you so stunning?" another user wrote, while someone else added, "Breathtaking!"

Others thought Melissa looked like Angelina Jolie, with one user writing, "Mel you look like Angelina Jolie in this photo very beautiful."

"At first glance, I thought this was Angelina Jolie!" another said.

"Ooo you look a little like Angelina Jolie in this photo!" someone else added.

Melissa has previously revealed she's a fan of Botox, crediting fellow MAFS star Tamara Joy for inspiring her to get it done herself.

"Since the show, I’ve had Botox, but never any surgery," Melissa told Closer Magazine. But my friend Tamara has had amazing work done, and I want to see the guy she went to. I think I want a nose job and facelift, and maybe more.

"I think a lot of girls go overboard when they’re so young, but I’m older – I’m not in my teens or twenties. I’ve thought about it for a long time and done my research, and I think I’d be more confident with some work done."

She also revealed the negative messages she received on Instagram really had an impact on her, "I only joined Instagram just before the show filmed, and when it aired I got thousands of followers.

"It’s great – but while you might get hundreds of nice comments, one negative one calling you ugly really lodges in your mind. I had – and still have – people criticising my face, my weight, my loudness. It does stick with you."
