Jessica Mauboy shows off incredible makeover look just months after welcoming her first child and launching skincare brand Desert Rose Australia
The 35-year-old singer, who welcomed her daughter Mia on January 13, shared a transformation video across TikTok and Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of her edgy makeover.
In the clip, Mauboy begins barefaced, with her hair plaited casually on either side, lip-syncing to her 2008 hit Burn.
"Heard u was sleepin," she wrote at the bottom of the clip.
Then, with a swipe of her makeup brush, the scene changes.
"Are we awake now?" she asked, revealing a bold new look- complete with a silver smoky eye, wind-swept brunette waves, fingerless leather gloves and silver tassels.
She topped off the ensemble with statement earrings and a chunky silver bangle, stepping away from her usual girl-next-door image for something fiercer.
The Darwin-born star reshared the clip on Instagram, alongside videos from fans singing her hits.
"I see you all. Big love," she wrote, reposting one fan's clip that dubbed her "Australia's Rihanna".
The makeover coincides with a major moment in Mauboy's life, becoming a mum and launching her skincare line, Desert Rose Australia.
"It has been a bit of a rollercoaster but a magical one,: the ARIA Award winner told Stellar about becoming a first-time mum to Mia, alongside her husband of three years, Themeli Magriplis.
"I look at her and it's 'whoa!' because I see myself, that little frown.
"I'm not sure I want her to have my personality, because it's rough and it's tough … She's constantly changing every day, another little roll, another crease."
While navigating motherhood, Mauboy has also been hard at work on her new business venture.
Her debut product, a high-protection SPF50+ face serum, is inspired by her upbringing in the Northern Territory and the lessons she's learned about skincare in Australia's harsh climate.
"Growing up in the Northern Territory, sun care was never really taught," she explained.
"…We thought that we were tough because our environment was tough, and forgot we were vulnerable to the harsh sun.
"I knew I wanted to do something that felt healthy and caring and protecting."
Mauboy named the brand after the desert rose, a hardy succulent that thrives in arid conditions and which her mother grows at their Darwin home.

Brunch with the kids? Kid-friendly cafes in and around Perth
Forrestdale A cafe on a farm full of cubby houses, a climbing wall and lots of animals to feed? This is kid and adult heaven all wrapped up. When you're done feeding the farm animals you can feed yourself with their delicious menu that goes far beyond kiddie stuff. Think miso tofu ochazuke and twice-cooked Wagin duck leg. You'll be stuffed, the kids will be exhausted — win-win. Kings Park The playground opposite Koorak cafe. Credit: Instagram / TheWest This great little cafe in the Poolgarla Family Area of Kings Park is adjacent to some serious playground action, which is especially good if you have slightly older kids you can watch from a distance while lingering over a coffee. Their menu is full of cafe classics and they are licensed, too. North Perth Maybe don't descend on this tiny cafe with your entire mothers group, as squeezing in a pram would take some doing. But if you want to stay central, grab some breakfast and have a toddler in tow, Hank's is where to go. This cute-as cafe has a great little play area with Duplo and a few little toys and books to keep them entertained while you enjoy their excellent coffee. Bassendean Holly Rayes cafe.

With a mini play kitchen and seating separate to the main cafe, this is a great spot to meet with friends with kids (and pets). Balcatta Little T's in Balcatta.

This year's Logie Awards Hall of Fame winner announced
Don't miss out on the headlines from Logies. Followed categories will be added to My News. The Logies are almost upon us, with organisers announcing the winner of the coveted Hall of Fame award ahead of this Sunday's ceremony. It's been revealed Magda Szubanski AO will be bestowed with the honour, making her just the fifth female recipient since the first ever awards back in 1984. Szubanski, 64, who has enjoyed a stellar four-decade showbiz career, will be presented with the award onstage at The Star in Sydney. The comedic entertainer, who was born in England but raised in Melbourne, first hit our screens in the '80s on sketch shows including The D-Generation, Fast Forward and Full Frontal, while also carving a career in film with roles in 1995's Babe and its subsequent sequel. Magda Szubanski AO is the 2025 Logies Hall of Fame inductee. Picture:But she's perhaps best known for her star turn in the 2000s comedy Kath & Kim, playing the loveable Sharon Strzelecki – a character previously debuted in 1994's Big Girl's Blouse with Gina Riley and Jane Turner. 'With a career spanning nearly four decades, the much-loved Magda Szubanski has helped define Australian comedy, creating some of the country's most beloved and enduring characters,' a statement from Logies organisers read. 'The TV WEEK Logie Award Hall of Fame recognises outstanding and continued contribution and enrichment to Australian television culture by an individual, a group of individuals, or a program. 'Magda's contribution to comedy, literature, activism, and Australia's cultural identity is profound and influential. This induction into the TV WEEK Logie Awards Hall of Fame celebrates not only a remarkable television career but also a lifetime of shaping hearts, headlines, and history, and giving audiences the gift of huge laughs.' Gina Riley, Jane Turner and Magda Szubanski first debuted their Kath & Kim characters in 'Big Girl's Blouse' in the '90s. Magda's Sharon Strzelecki remains one of the most prominent characters in Aussie pop culture. Szubanski was previously bestowed with an Order of Australia (AO) in 2019 'for distinguished service to the performing arts as an actor, comedian and writer, and as a campaigner for marriage equality.' The recognition comes amid a devastating time in Szubanski's personal life, with the star announcing her stage four cancer diagnosis in May. The beloved entertainer told fans in a social media post she was battling Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a rare and fast-moving blood cancer. Szubanski confirmed she had begun 'the Nordic protocol' … 'one of the best treatments available' for the disease that was randomly picked up during a recent breast screen. 'Hello, my lovelies. The head is shaved in anticipation of it all falling out in a couple of weeks,' she said at the time. 'I have just been diagnosed with a very rare, very aggressive lymphoma. 'It is one of the nasty ones unfortunately. 'The good thing is I'm surrounded by beautiful friends and family and an incredible medical support team. Honestly we have the best in the world here in Australia. 'It's pretty confronting. It is a full on one. But new treatments keep coming down the pipeline all the time … I've just got to (laughs). 'What do you? What are you gonna do?' The much-loved Aussie entertainer will be honoured at Sunday's Logies. Picture: LisaDuring the past decade, Szubanksi has increasingly opened up about her private battles. In her 2015 memoir Reckoning, Szubanski documented her complicated relationship with food and her sexuality, something she had guarded for decades before coming out in February 2012. She later admitted it was one of the scariest things she'd done in her life. In her social post this year, Szubanski signed off to her legion of fans with a request: 'If you do see me out and about – don't hug me, kiss me or breathe anywhere near me! Wave enthusiastically from a safe distance and know I love you madly.' The Logies will air Sunday night on Channel 7. Originally published as This year's Logie Awards Hall of Fame winner announced

The 47-year-old member of the British royal family - whose parents are Captain Mark Phillips and The Princess Royal, the younger sister of King Charles - has announced he is to marry Harriet Sperling after a year of dating with both families overjoyed with the news. A statement issued for the couple by Gerard Franklin read: "Mr Peter Phillips, the son of HRH The Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips and Ms Harriet Sperling, daughter of the late Mr Rupert Sanders and Mrs Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today confirmed their official engagement. "Both families were informed jointly of the announcement and were delighted with the wonderful news of their engagement. "Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have been informed of the announcement." At the moment there is no official date for the wedding. Peter - who is the nephew of King Charles and was the eldest grandchild of the late - was fifth in line to the throne at birth and remained so until the birth of his cousin William, Prince of Wales, in 1982. Peter has two daughters, Savannah and Isla, from his relationship with his ex-wife Autumn Kelly. The pair, who wed in 2008, announced their separation in February 2020 and their divorce was finalised in June 2021. A statement released at the time read: "Whilst this is a sad day for Peter and Autumn, they continue to put the well-being and upbringing of their wonderful daughters Savannah and Isla first and foremost. "Both Peter and Autumn are pleased to have resolved matters amicably with the children firmly at the forefront of those thoughts and decisions. "Peter and Autumn have requested privacy and consideration for their children as the family adapts to a new chapter in their lives." After his separation from Autumn, Peter was in a relationship with Lindsay Wallace for three years. While dating, they attended several royal family events together, including King Charles' Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle. Peter and Harriet - who has a daughter, Georgia - first went public as a couple in May 2024 when they were seen at the Badminton Horse Trials in Gloucestershire, England. Later that same summer they were seen enjoying Wimbledon sat in the royal box. Harriet has accompanied Peter to numerous events with other members of the royal family such as the Royal Ascot race meet.
