Carrie Bickmore has been a familiar face on Australian screens for many years, but when she posted a series of throwback snaps to Instagram last night, we almost didn’t recognise her.
The Project host’s iconic blonde hair and camera-ready appearance is something we’ve pretty much taken for granted all these years – but back in the day, things were a little different.
Sharing three pictures to her Instagram page, Carrie wrote: “The 90’s…..when you didn’t get the chance to take a photo multiple times til you got one with your eyes open.”
Indeed, in each snap, a younger Carrie, then in her teen years, is seen in various peak 90s nostalgic outfits with her eyes half closed.
Choker necklaces, sleeveless shift dresses and hair cut short in a bob and straightened to a T – Carrie is the image of the iconic era.
Yes, Carrie Bickmore knew how to rock a 90s trend.
(Instagram)Carrie’s fans took to the images to share their surprise at the unrecognisable throwback snaps.
The 40-year-old’s Project co-star Lisa Wilkinson also added her two cents: “Or get it in the centre of the shot. So cute,” she wrote.
Another fan pointed out a particularly good comparison: “You look like Melissa Joan Hart in the last one.”
Looking at them side by side, they’re certainly not wrong!
One fan pointed out Carrie’s resemblance to Sabrina actress, Melissa Joan Hart.

Can you see it?
Of course, Carrie’s flair for fashion even back then comes as no surprise – she is known for sparking full-blown fashion movements on The Project with her array of stunning outfits.
And let’s not forget everything in between, like her latest update from the summer featuring her favourite hat – which consequently became everyone else’s favourite too.
So with that said, while Carrie’s style and overall beauty look has changed significantly since her teen years, it’s more evident than ever that she’s a true fashion icon.
