MAFS bride Poppy Jennings unrecognisable in Instagram return

There was so much drama during the most recent season of Married At First Sight that you'd be forgiven for forgetting that several batches of brides and grooms have walked down the reality TV aisle before.

Poppy Jennings was one such bride who took part in the 'social experiment' a mere year ago. The mum-of-two has been rather quiet on social media of late but on Saturday she made a triumphant return to Instagram, sharing several snaps of herself with MAFS co-star Tash Spencer.

In the pics, Poppy is seen sporting a lacy black jumpsuit, matching black heels and — surprise — newly-lightened tresses.

While viewers got to know her with auburn locks on MAFS, Poppy is now flaunting a fresh, honey-blonde 'do. To celebrate Tash's 28th birthday, Poppy wore her hair poker-straight with a center part.

Her hair makeover was enough to leave some fans doing a double-take.

"You look amazing and gorgeous!!" wrote one in the comments. "Love your hair that colour... I was scrolling and had to double-take. Didn’t realise it was you."

Other followers complimented Poppy's glam getup.

"Oh hello there, looking amazing," wrote one.

"Foxy mama," said another.

Birthday girl Tash was party-ready in a white beaded mini dress and strappy black heels. She too has switched out her once-dark locks for blonde highlights, which she wore long and wavy for the occasion.
