In her throwback photos, the season seven Bachelor star posed with friends, donning box-dye black hair and heavy, smoky eye makeup at her year 10 formal when she was 16.

Abbie was seen flashing the peace sign and pouting in a photo booth alongside two male friends.

“A reminder to not care too much what I look like because no matter how much effort I put in, I’m going to cringe at myself in a decade,” she captioned the post.

“Also to anyone in high school, don’t care too much what boys think of you because you will look back at photos in 10 years and have to use every last brain cell to remember their names.

“No one ever let me wear a dark blue Smokey eye with a light beige lipstick and black box dyed hair ever again,” she joked.

Abbie’s throwback comes after Matt Agnew, whom she dated on the 2019 series of The Bachelor, shared his unrecognisable new lockdown look.

The astrophysicist-turned-reality star took to his Instagram to share the results of a months-long barber ban and seemingly no attempts at a DIY job.

Posting a photo of his lengthy and slicked back man bun, coupled with a full beard, the astrophysicist wrote, “Tell me you’re in lockdown, without telling me you’re in lockdown”.

The debuted look had a mostly positive reaction, but firmly on board was Matt’s fellow Bachelor boy Sam Wood who wrote “Suits you mate” in response.
