One Desperate Housewives star looks totally unrecognisable 11 years on from finding fame on the ABC comedy-drama.
Vanessa Williams shot to fame as Renee Perry on the programme, which ran for 180 episodes starting in 2004.
Now she has wowed fans with a make-up free, unfiltered snap posted to social media – and she looks totally different nowadays.

In a new snap, Vanessa looked as though she’d just emerged from a workout as she slicked her brunette tresses back with a blue headband.
Vanessa donned a bright pink tank top over a matching pink sports bra as she pouted for the camera, going mostly without make-up except for a matte pink lip.

The 60-year-old showed off her natural tan while snapping a selfie, captioning the snap: “No filter… no energy #RescueCrew.”
Fans couldn’t believe it was her for a moment, with one commenting: “You will always be one of the most beautiful women in the world.”
“All honesty, if l [hadn’t seen] the name , l wouldn’t have known this is Vanessa,” someone else said.
While a third gushed: “I love a woman who is not afraid to showcase the raw and uncut version of herself.”

Vanessa joined up to Desperate Housewives in its seventh season, as the best pal of overworked mum Lynette Scavo.
She remained in the programme until it finished with season eight in 2012.
And she’s remained candid about ageing gracefully ever since, telling The Sun: “I’ve never been one to lie about my age, because anyone with a smartphone can find out I’ve turned 60 in March. I’m proud of the fact that I’m about to enter a new decade – getting older is a real privilege.”
She added: “When I started acting 25 years ago, it felt like women were tapped out as leading ladies by the time they hit 38. After that, you either got cast as a mother or a power executive.”

Vanessa “jumped at the chance” to be in Desperate Housewives, as she loved seeing a “cast of 40-something women kicking a**”.
She started getting Botox aged 40, but doesn’t want to do anything more “drastic” to her face and neck.
Things are changing in Vanessa’s personal life, too. In 2015 she tied the knot with hubby Jim Skrip, after going through two divorces.
She also has four kids – Melanie, Jillian, Devin and Sasha.
