A Different World star Cree Summer looked unrecognizable during her recent outing in Los Angeles over the weekend.
On Sunday, the actress, 55, who has voiced over 100 animated characters in her illustrious career, enjoyed an outing at a local flea market with her friend.
She was seen towing around her vintage finds in a foldable shopping cart on wheels while strolling around the open-air market and hunting for goods to take home.
During her outing, she showcased her fun and eclectic style in a colorful, summer-ready outfit featuring cut-off denim shorts and an oversize graphic T-shirt on top.
Paired with the effortlessly stylish look, she sported her signature, tall hat and yellow-tinted sunglasses paired with a red bandana tied around her neck.
The Rugrats voice actress tied her raven black tresses in two pigtail braids and appeared to be wearing little to no makeup for her outing.

She accessorized with a brown leather belt with a gold, leaf buckle paired with layers of chunky, matching bangles.
She completed her look with knee-high socks paired with motorcycle boots.
Summer recently got candid about her life earlier this month about life after divorce after separating from her now-ex Angelo Pullen.
She was previously married to the film producer for nine years from 2013 and 2022.
She said that during their decade-long marriage, she lost her sex drive as she opened up about feelings of loneliness and love in an Sandra Rose article, which was published on May 2.
Summer, who is known for her iconic role as Freddie Brooks on A Different World, said that that she is post-menopause and emotionally liberated, her sexuality has resurged.
She said that she is now excited by the idea of initiating romance and pursuing someone in a way she has never done before in the past.
'I don't think I've ever approached a man. I've never asked a man out. I would love to have a husband and a real partner,' she said.
'Someone that we could get excited about the trials and the tribulations in life together,' she continued. 'That would be great.'
She compared the end of her marriage to an 'old car' as she shared her thoughts about staying in relationships too long because of loneliness.
'Who the f*** wants to separate and divorce? But sometimes that old car ain't gon' run anymore... It's run its f***ing course, literally.'
She continued: 'I think loneliness is probably the greatest culprit to get me into things where I could've probably looked at it and go, "I know that ain't gon' work. But he drives a really nice car..."'
She also talked about embracing aging as she acknowledged feeling unseen as an older woman.

'You do become a little more invisible the older you get as a woman, unfortunately. I spent a lot of my time being hemmed up in vanity, and now that I really can't be, I'm, you know, I'm in the second half of my life, and now I don't care so much about what it looks like. But it's hard in this town.'
She also shared her thoughts about being a 55-year-old woman living in a city like Los Angeles.
'This is not a place where I have the opportunity. I don't get asked out on a lot of dates. I never get asked out on dates. I don't know if it's being 55 in Los Angeles, or if it's just a strange town, you know? It's a weird, counterintuitive feeling, because I actually feel more beautiful now than I have ever felt before,' she said.
'I feel like I've come into my face. I've come into my body. I've really come into my sense of style. So it's weird to not be seen as much.'
