Married At First Sight’s Belinda Vickers has never been one to conform to fashion trends when it comes to her looks.
WATCH: MAFS’ Belinda says she’s never seen herself as typically attractive girl
During her stint on the ratings juggernaut, the 29-year-old bride turned heads for her often unusual outfits.
The show may have wrapped filming for another drama-packed year, but Belinda has tongues wagging again – this time for a shock new look.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Belinda posted a photo of herself sporting a bizarre-beehive style bun rather than her trademark curly hair.
She then posted a poll, asking her fans “Is my bun too high or not high enough?” with the ability to vote for either option.
Belinda was matched with Patrick Dwyer on the latest season of MAFS and are one of the few couples from the franchise still together.
The show’s viewers often poked fun at Belinda for her odd clothing combos, but it was back in childhood that Belinda really felt the full force of the brutality of others’ opinions.
“I went to an elite private school in Melbourne – very respected in the community, very academic, and as soon as I started there in Year 7, I was picked on,” Belinda previously told WHO.
But the bullying she endured went far beyond name-calling.
“Pretty much, the whole year group had it in for me. I only stayed on that school for a year and a half but even now, I can’t believe I survived it,” she confessed.
“There was nothing I did to deserve what happened to me but I think it came down to the fact I was very skinny and scrawny. I had frizzy hair, pale skin and I was very flat-chested. I was the weakling of the year group and that made me a big target from the get-go.”
That terrible time made door-to-door salesperson Belinda the strong woman she is today, she claimed, but it wasn’t an easy journey to self-acceptance.
