If you didn’t recognise Rachael Gouvignon when she made her first appearance on Tuesday night’s episode of Bachelor in Paradise, trust me when I say you’re not alone.
WATCH: Rachael falls over after not receiving a rose
Arriving in Fiji sporting dark new locks, heavily drawn on eyebrows and plumper lips, the reality star’s appearance is worlds away from how she looked when she made her TV debut back in 2016.
Even her ex-boyfriend Richie Strahan— whom she met and fell in love with on The Bachelor Australia— had to do a double take when he first laid eyes on her.
“G’day,” Richie said as he approached her, awkwardly adding a moment later, “Oh, Rach! How are ya? You changed your hair.”
Feels, Richie. I had no idea who she was either!
Obviously, her new look begs the question, has she had work done?
In November of last year, a video surfaced of Rachael undergoing non-invasive VelaShape cellulite reduction on her buttocks before filming for this season began. And in her latest Instagram post which is a shot of her in Paradise, she’s tagged Cosmetique Surgery — a clinic that specialises in lip fillers, dermal fillers, and botox.
You be the judge.
