Camilla Franks doesn't look like this anymore! Aussie designer is unrecognisable as she unveils shock makeover
She is known as Australia's Kaftan Queen. But Camilla Franks looked almost unrecognisable as she promoted her clothing label on Instagram on Wednesday. The 49-year-old looked radiant and wrinkle-free as she revealed how her brand has changed since its launch 20 years ago. She had long brunette locks and appeared to be showing off a fresh set of veneers as she flashed a million-dollar smile. 'It all started with a kaftan, but we have come a long way darling from 20 years ago,' Camilla said. 'For over a decade I've evolved the romanticism and the bohemian nature of printed kaftan into structured silhouettes and fashion pieces that appeal to our colourful collective.' Camilla's transformation comes she managed to offload her amazing pad in Sydney's eastern suburbs for an undisclosed sum last year. The fabulously eccentric Woollahra two-storey home with originally listed for $7million. The price guide for the five bedroom and three bathroom dwelling was later revised to $7.25million. Built in the 1880s and dubbed 'Villa Camilla', Franks purchased the extravagantly decorated home in 2016 for $3.868million, according to The Wentworth Courier. Featured throughout is Franks' bohemian style and eye-popping colourful designs. Highlights also include floral and 'tribal' hand painted wallpaper, bejewelled finishes and rustic Oak floorboards. Franks has also preserved the elegant Old World architecture, including a grand entry way. Other highlights include a rooftop terrace, a private lounge with fireplace, a Terrazzo kitchen, outdoor shower and a stone egg bath. There's also an outdoor entertainment deck with firepit, a saltwater pool and a wraparound deck. The listing comes after Franks purchased a vintage property in nearby Bondi. Built in 1908 the lavish estate, known as Gnal Loa, sits on just over a 1000sqm and is surrounded by flourishing gardens. Highlights also include floral and 'tribal' hand painted wallpaper, bejewelled finishes and rustic oak floorboards.

'I just came off this three-and-a- half-month shoot in Australia for a huge film called Voltron, which is a big-budget movie. 'It's not easy doing these things and then also making a record on the weekends, which is the only days I have off. 'If you're willing to do the work, nothing is impossible. I really do believe people can do it all.' Talking about her hellraising days, Rita, who grew up in West London after her family moved there from Kosovo when she was a baby, told On the Reign With Josh Smith podcast: 'I made money, I didn't come from money, and I just really was living every day like it was my last, with no care about what was going to happen the next day.
