MAFS' Carina Mirabile undergoes $35,000 post-show transformation: 'Beautiful'
MAFS bride Carina Mirabile has created a name for herself as one of the most fashion-forward brides on the show and has been known to make some bold decisions with her looks, like going blonde in her early 20s. Now, it's been revealed that the MAFS bride has spent $35,000 undergoing a major transformation since filming wrapped on the reality show in November.
Yahoo Lifestyle understands the 31-year-old had a breast lift augmentation with Sydney-based Dr Kourosh Tavakoli earlier this year. With the surgery, Carina went from a B-cup to a D-cup with a fat transfer, which is a choice some women make instead of implants.
The Perth-based bride showed off the results of her now complete transformation while arriving at a mini-cast reunion in Sydney on Thursday evening. Carina was joined by co-stars Ryan Donnelly, Eliot Donavan and Adrian Araouzou at Bill & Toni's in Darlinghurst.
While uniting with her co-stars, her transformation appeared to be the talk of the group with Eliot filming a TikTok where he joked: 'When you bump into an old friend and something about them looks different.'
He jokingly added, "Is that a new hairdo?"

"And just like that Elliot became a devout Catholic," one user wrote, referencing this week's homestays, where Carina's 'husband' Paul Antoine was questioned over his faith by her family.
"Oh she got bangs! Beautiful," another said.
"Honestly y'all look good together," a third wrote, with Eliot responding, "As friends."
"I think she wants you to at least look her in the eyes," someone else joked, with the MAFS groom replying, "I'm not risking it."
"She kinda looks like Kim Kardashian," another said, with another saying he also looks like Scott Disick.
It comes after throwback photos on Instagram show Carina looking barely recognisable with blonde hair on her 21st birthday.
In the snap, she paired her lighter locks with a black patterned gown and simple make-up – a stark contrast to her striking looks on MAFS.

Vanessa Bryant Channels Rihanna To Address Pregnancy Rumors Like A Boss
Vanessa Bryant is tackling rumors about her private life with a little help from the Rihanna playbook. The widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant shut down online speculation she's pregnant with her fifth child by sharing a photo of Rihanna looking particularly unbothered, drink in hand, to her Instagram Stories. 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer,' Vanessa Bryant wrote, alongside a handful of cheerful emojis. A moment later, she added a second Rihanna meme with the caption: 'I'm not mean, I'm just not the one.' Rumors that Vanessa Bryant was expecting a child with an unnamed 27-year-old basketball player began popping up online late last month, though the source of the speculation is unclear. The philanthropist and former dancer hasn't publicly been in a romantic relationship since the 2020 death of Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. She and her late husband also share three other daughters: Natalia, 22, Bianka, 8, and Capri, 5. Prior to Vanessa Bryant's witty response, the rumors had sparked a fair amount of discourse over the social expectations placed on widows. The implication that the 43-year-old had moved on to a new romance five years after Kobe Bryant's death drew criticism on social media, with some oddly suggesting she had an obligation to stay single to protect her late husband's legacy. 'Bashing Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant's wife, for being pregnant is just insane to me. Genuinely, she is a widow,' one TikTok user said Monday. 'What do you all expect widows to do? Life keeps going, life keeps moving. Who said that she couldn't heal and she couldn't go ahead and continue to live life?' Added another: 'This lady is allowed to love again ... you all do know that a lot of men, they move on the next month, the next year, the next week, the next minute. So, really, why does it matter? It's literally been half of a decade.' New romance or not, Vanessa Bryant appeared to be staying true to her pledge by taking in a day at Disneyland. On Monday, she shared a short video on Instagram showing her with her daughters at the Anaheim, California, theme park.

TikTok gives artists new tools to track and boost viral songs
TikTok has boosted the careers of numerous musicians, thanks to their songs—both new and old—going viral. The latest example is Connie Francis' 1962 hit Pretty Little Baby, which is currently inescapable across For You pages. Now, TikTok is making it even easier for artists to capitalize on viral moments. The platform has rolled out its music insights tool globally, following a limited beta launch that was quietly tested with a select group of artists two months ago. TikTok for Artists offers musicians daily updates on how their songs are being used and which tracks are generating the most engagement. Metrics include the number of views, posts, and creator interactions per song, as well as insights into each post's performance. Artists also gain access to demographic data about their followers, such as age, language, and self-identified gender. 'All tiers of artists will gain insights on TikTok that they can use to take their careers to a whole new level,' said Tracy Gardner, TikTok's global head of music business development, in a statement. 'We built the platform to give artists transparent access to useful, actionable data about their music and their fans, to help them better engage with the TikTok community and supercharge their careers both on and off the platform.' One early tester, Cyril Riley, said: 'My team and I rely on TikTok for Artists daily, sometimes even hourly. In such a rapidly evolving industry, it's crucial for us to consistently monitor and review the analytics of my account.' Another musician, Jordan Adetunji, called it a 'game changer.' Alongside the analytics tool, TikTok has launched a pre-release feature that lets artists promote upcoming music on the platform. Fans can pre-save unreleased albums directly to their Spotify or Apple Music libraries, making the music instantly available when it drops. Not everyone is enthusiastic, though. Some critics view this as TikTok following in Spotify's footsteps (Spotify launched Spotify for Artists back in 2016), fostering a culture of music made specifically to go viral. As The Fader 's Jordan Darville writes, 'a massively popular app creates artist 'services' that steer the sound of music in directions more profitable for the platform, and simultaneously throttles royalties to make shareholders happy.' Perhaps these new TikTok features will inspire more unexpected comebacks from pop icons of the '60s—or maybe they'll just give us new options to soundtrack our TikTok carousels.

We did our gender reveal at 30,000 feet with complete strangers — it was the best decision of our lives
These expecting parents pulled off their epic gender reveal with flying colors. Temporarily turning the friendly skies pink and blue, a couple, Katrín María Blöndal, 24, and Anton Örn Hilmarsson, 27, hosted a celebration — attended by complete strangers — to toast their incoming infant during a flight to Paris. 'This might be the first time in history that someone finds out the gender of their baby somewhere over the North Atlantic,' a flight attendant with Iceland's PLAY Airlines announced to a cabin full of excited passengers-turned-partygoers. Air travelers held up small pink or blue cards, indicating their best guesses on the baby's gender, per Instagram footage of the super-fly fête. Katrín and Anton, from Reykjavik, Iceland, then made their way to the front of the plane, where a customized cake, topped with decorative baby elephants and edible pearls, and Champagne flutes were waiting. The pair, already parents of two young sons and a daughter from previous relationships, used the glasses to scoop into the confection, which boasted a thick layer of blue frosting — revealing that their little love-to-be is a boy. 'We couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to find out — we're having a boy,' Katrín and Anton said in a statement to The Post. The sweethearts began dating in January 2024, after years of close friendship. Anton works as a forklift operator for a pharmaceutical company, and Katrín is in school studying Education and Pedagogy. 'This is our first child together,' they added, 'and to have the big reveal take place in the sky was unforgettable.' It's a memorable milestone that many mommies and daddies like to mark in a major way. While some posh pregnant people prefer to learn the sex of their buns in the oven with $20,000 Birkin bags, others, such as Florida-based foodie Rosanna Fontana, favor meatballs as their gender reveal goodies. Then, of course, there are daredevils like influencer Lele Pons, who detonated faux TNT to explosively determine whether she'd soon be welcoming a son or daughter. The splashiness of a baby-themed bomb notwithstanding, Katrín and Anton are content with their slightly more discreet shindig at 30,000 feet. 'We're incredibly grateful to the crew for making this such a special flight,' the twosome told The Post. 'We'll never forget.'
