Kyly Clarke doesn't look like this anymore! Former cricket WAG reveals dramatic hair transformation...after announcing surprising career move
Kyly Clarke stunned followers on Friday when she debuted a bold new look.
The former cricket WAG, 43, recently announced a surprise foray into the world of acting.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, she revealed that her hair is just as important to defining a character as learning lines.
She shared a photo that showed her sporting a very curly, 'untamed' style – a far cry from her normally straight locks.
Captioning the image, Kyly said that she was going for a 'Latino vibe.'

'These untamed locks bring instant Latin vibes, boldness, and soul,' she wrote.
She added that the correct hairstyle was an essential tool in any actor's toolkit.
'But beyond the beauty that hair can offer, it is a powerful acting tool,' she said.
'Hair, makeup, and styling aren't just surface-level – they help define who a character is, what they've been through, how casual or serious they are… and even how old they appear.'
She continued: 'With one look, you can jump from 20s to 40s. From innocent to fierce. From modern-day to another era entirely.
'That's the magic of any character transformation—and it's one of the greatest gifts in acting. The ability to change. Every detail helps unlock the emotional truth of a scene. And when the outside feels right, the inside flows with ease.'
She then asked her 65,000 followers for their opinions on what age she could play with her new look.
'Love the curls! Late 20s-early 30s for sure!' one follower commented, to which Kyly replied: 'Mum couldn't believe it when she saw.'

Another chimed in with: 'I honestly think you could pass as a 20 year old. But one thing I love about you is whatever you put your mind to you give it 100%.
'You are a wonderful role model to your beautiful girl.'
The former TV host, model and businesswoman recently revealed she was making a surprise return to acting, decades after landing her first commercial role as a child.
The mum-of-one is diving head-first into the world of film and television, embracing what she calls her 'Kyly 2.50' era – a nod to her reinvention and growth.
'I started acting at a very young age,' Kyly told the Sunday Telegraph earlier this month.
After years spent building businesses and raising her daughter Kelsey Lee, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Michael Clarke, the Sydney-based star has joined leading agency Chic Talent Management.
Her passion for storytelling is what's pulling her back to the screen, with Kyly open to a wide range of roles across local and international productions.
'Funnily enough, I was one of the casting director's "options" for the reporter role in the feature film I Know What You Did Last Summer,' she shared.

'I would love to work on both Australian and international productions. I would love to appear in a feature film,' Kyly continued.
'It would be great to work on the set of NCIS: Sydney. Or even those Christmas movies which come out of Canada. I am leaving the door completely wide open to all opportunities.'
Kyly said the past few years were about putting her daughter first, but she now feels the timing is right to focus on her own creative path again.
'I really think over the last five years, I've put Kelsey Lee first,' she said.
Kyly previously explored a career in dance and modelling and has also recently worked in interior design and property development.
She has also been pursuing her passion for art in recent years and has revealed how her new career has helped to 'heal' her.
She gave an insight into the emotional process of creating her artwork after being selected to show her work at The Other Art Fair last year.
'It was a really beautiful healing process,' Kyly told the Daily Telegraph.
