The starlet was almost unrecognizable as she strolled through her neighborhood dressed head-to-toe in white.
Looking chic, she wore a wide-brimmed white hat that shielded her face from the Californian sun.
She looked relaxed and content, and kept a low profile as she walked her two dogs, but can you guess who she is?
Known for starring in cult classic flick Legend as Princess Lili, and in Ferris Bueller's Day Off as Sloane Peterson, Mia Sara looks totally different in 2025.
Mia, whose surname is Sarapochiello, is the actress in question, and she was born on June 19, 1967. She is known professionally as Mia Sara.

Her casual outing and dog walk comes just months after she made headlines for her stunning return to the red carpet in June 2025.
She attended the premiere for her new movie, The Life of Chuck, at the Hollywood Legion theatre.
RED CARPET COMEBACK
When she attended the star-studded event just weeks ago, Sara turned heads in a chic black sleeveless dress with peplum detail.
In the movie, she stars alongside the likes of Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, and Karen Gillan for the Stephen King adaptation. T
The American actress made her film debut as Princess Lili in the 1985 fantasy film Legend before having a huge breakthrough role in a beloved comedy flick.
Eighties Icon Annette O'Toole Unrecognizable in LA - Life, Virgin River, and Family Struggles
Mia's breakthrough role came when she starred as Sloane Peterson in the comedy film Ferris Bueller's Day Off a year after her previous role in 1986.
In Legend, Mia's character was fresh-faced and innocent-looking with curly brunette locks.
Meanwhile, in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, her character was a little older and more of a sex symbol.
The actress, who hails from New York, also portrayed Melissa Walker in the science fiction film Timecop back in 1994, with the role even winning her the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress.

MIA'S LOVE LIFE - EXPLORED
After her breakthrough success, Mia went on to get married to a famous A-Lister's son.
In March 1996, Sara married Jason Connery, son of actor Sean Connery after they met on the set of Bullet to Beijing the year prior.
In June 1997, the couple welcomed a son, with them welcoming Dashiell Connery on June 3.
Dashinell followed in his father's footsteps, and the now 27-year-old is an actor known for starring in Outcry, Pandemic and Tommy's Honour.
But Mia and Jason were not to last.
They got divorced in 2002.
During a previous interview with The Times, Jason spoke out about how the divorce was a shock and how he found it hard.
"I suddenly saw all the parallels between my dad, my mum, and me, because they were both actors — like my ex and I," he said at the time.
Sara then moved on with Brian Henson, with the couple welcoming a daughter in 2005 and tying the knot five years later in 2010.
SHOCKING CAREER CONFESSION
After welcoming her daughter and getting married again, Mia made a confession about her career.
"I was a very unhappy actress," she revealed to The Cossack Review in 2016.
"It was something I felt I could do, and I needed to work, and I got lucky at the get go.
"However I was never going to be the kind of actress I admire, because I just didn't have the drive for the process."

Laura Loomer testified that Bill Maher's joke about her sleeping with Trump torpedoed her chance at White House job
MAGA extremist Laura Loomer recently testified in her $150 million defamation lawsuit against Bill Maher that the HBO star's joke about her sleeping with Donald Trump ended up costing her a position at the White House because of the 'media frenzy' it created. Loomer, the self-annointed Trump 'loyalty' enforcer whose influence with the president has seemingly risen in recent months, sat down for a deposition last week with HBO's attorney. And, as Puck reported, it quickly became 'every bit as unhinged as one might expect.' The lawsuit, which Loomer filed in October of last year, centers on a September 2024 episode of Real Time where the comic suggested that Loomer's sudden ascendance in Trump's orbit was due to the two of them engaging in a sexual liaison. 'I think maybe Laura Loomer's in an arranged relationship to affect the election because she's very close to Trump. She's 31, looks like his type,' Maher quipped. 'We did an editorial here a few years ago… it was basically, who's Trump f***ing? Because I said, you know, it's not nobody. He's been a dog for too long, and it's not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer.' In her complaint, Loomer alleges that she was subjected to 'unjustified ridicule, embarrassment, loss of reputation and professional opportunity, as well as being damaged financially' by the joke, adding that the comments were 'false, malicious and defamatory.' She also claimed that Maher denied her request for a public apology and an invitation on his show to 'mitigate prior and any further damage.' Maher's joke, meanwhile, came days after Loomer accompanied the then-candidate to a presidential debate and events commemorating the 9/11 attacks, prompting concerns from advisers and allies about her unofficial campaign role. During the final days of the campaign, he would publicly distance himself from her, all while promising his aides that he'd stop regularly inviting her on his flights. During her deposition, which was briefly on the public docket last week before being sealed by Magistrate Judge Philip Lammens, Loomer looked to make the case that she would currently be working in the White House if it weren't for Maher. Throughout the questioning from attorney Kate Bolger, Loomer boasted about her increasing clout with the president, stating that he first became impressed with her adversarial 'reporting' on GOP presidential rival Ron DeSantis in 2023. Loomer noted that she would soon be invited to Mar-a-Lago and that Trump told Susie Wiles, his current White House chief of staff, to immediately hire her. Instead, Loomer stated, that didn't happen because the news was leaked to the New York Times, which reported that her hiring 'would cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and her embrace of the Republican Party's fringes.' The Times later appended the story to point out its reporting had 'ignited a firestorm' among the MAGA base and resulted in Trump backing off. Still, according to Loomer, she continued to enjoy access in Trumpworld and estimated that she'd visited Mar-a-Lago at least '20,30 times,' flew around with Trump, and submitted a resume for an administration job. She also recalled that on the flight to Trump's debate with Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, she showed him what she said was a police report after he asked if the rumors about Haitian immigrants in Ohio were real, leading to the infamous 'eating dogs' moment. Bolger, meanwhile, pressed Loomer on why she was so certain it was Maher's joke – which came days after the debate – that doomed her job prospects with the president. 'Other than Bill Maher, can you name a single human being on all of Planet Earth that believes what Bill Maher said?' Bolger asked, prompting Loomer to respond: 'It's up for interpretation.' Loomer went on to say that Trump campaign manager Chris LaCivita would later tell her she wasn't welcome back on Trump's plane because of the 'media frenzy' the HBO host's joke had sparked. Elsewhere in the deposition, Bolger brought up the lengthy history of inflammatory commentary from Loomer, a self-described 'proud Islamophobe' who has made numerous accusations about the personal lives of other prominent political figures. This could have potentially been an effort to establish that Maher's one-off line about Loomer wouldn't have done any meaningful reputational damage to the far-right provocateur. That did lead Loomer to bring up her ongoing feud with fellow MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom Loomer accused of being 'very jealous of me' and not well-liked by Trump's staff. Naturally, a sitdown with Loomer wouldn't be complete without a nasty swipe, which Bolger received when the plaintiff took aim at her past representation of Disney in the ABC News lawsuit that was settled with Trump. 'I'm not going to be gaslit by a Democratic lawyer who represents fake news media,' Loomer fumed. While Loomer may not have a White House job, and the six-figure salary that comes with it, she has been patting herself on the back lately over the amount of influence she supposedly wields with the president. Claiming to have played an outsized role in the abrupt firings of more than a dozen high-ranking administration officials over what she says is insufficient loyalty to the president, who she has repeatedly declared her 'love' for, Loomer recently joked that one of her friends now calls her 'Trump's Rasputin.'

Travis Kelce glad to escape Taylor Swift attention in 'sanctuary' of Kansas City Chiefs camp
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is glad to escape the massive attention he gets as Taylor Swift 's boyfriend, calling the team's training camp a 'sanctuary' for him personally. The Chiefs have a long standing relationship with Missouri Western University, where they hold training camp at the Division-II powerhouse in St. Joseph. Players stay in dorms and have the tradition of spending time closer together instead of the teams that have camp and release players home every evening. 'I love it here,' Kelce said of training camp. It gets me away from everything else that's going on in this crazy world. You can really just focus in on your craft and focus in on being the best you can for the guys around you, man.' 'Football has always been the biggest driving force I've ever had. I love coming out here and focusing on this and getting better for another run at hopefully a Super Bowl.' Kelce added he flushed the pain from losing the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles a long time ago, with him being individually criticized for his performance in the loss. Kelce did take the loss to heart, even while around Swift, coming into this year's training camp looking slimmer than he did 12 months ago. 'He's svelte right now. He looks like he's 20,' Chiefs coach Andy Reid said last month. 'He's doing a good job and he's in great shape. I'm not sure he didn't come in first on the whole conditioning thing. He was right up front. You can see he's been working out. He's worked hard to get to this spot.' During the 2024 offseason, Kelce and Swift's relationship was new, as he appeared to be more distracted by her worldwide 'Eras Tour' and other responsibilities including hosting Prime Video's 'Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?'. This was a more low-key period away from the gridiron in 2025, as outside of a few moments, stayed away from cameras.
