This TV star doesn’t quite look like how we remember, what with her new auburn locks and cutesy dress.

The 41-year-old Doctor Who star historically sports blonde hair, but she looks absolutely fire with her new barnet.

Although the edgy star has had brunette locks for a while, we really didn’t recognise her in this shade of brown – and didn’t expect this dress from her either.

Still don’t know who this, ahem, Secret Diary of a Call Girl star is? It is, of course, the formidable Billie Piper.

The star rocked up to the 51st International Emmy Awards in New York City yesterday looking as chic as ever.

Posing in a silver mini-dress which was clad with dramatic white bows, the Day and Night hitmaker was glowing, as she topped off the look with some long-sleeved baby blue gloves and elegant cream heels.

Her choppy auburn-hued hair is also shorter than we remember, with a defined side fringe, outlining her face.

The star beamed at the occasion held at Hilton Midtown in New York City and looked super happy to be there alongside the likes of Awkwafina and Karla Souza.

The latter – who is pregnant as she showed off a big ol’ baby bump – beat Billie to the best actress gong for her portrayal of Mariel in La Caida in Dive.

Billie was nominated for her role in I Hate Suzie Too, alongside Shefali Shah for Dehli Cime and Connie Nielsen for Drommren.

Popular Northern Irish comedy Derry Girls season 3 tied in winning best comedy alongside standup special Vir Das: Landing.

Germany’s The Empress won in the drama series category, while The Responder’s Martin Freeman went home with the award for best actor.

This comes after Billie lost out to the best actress Bafta to Kate Winslet, who won the gong for her heart-wrenching portrayal of a mother of a teen with an eating disorder in I Am Ruth.

Billie was recently said to be ‘humiliated’ by her ex-husband Laurence Fox, when Honeysuckle Weeks claimed he asked her on a number of dates during their marriage.

Fox recently came under fire after he went on a vile misogynistic rant on GB News about a female journalist. He was later sacked from the show.

After, Honeysuckle claimed in an interview with The Telegraph that Fox asked her out on a date ‘three times’ while he was married to Billie.

‘On each occasion he stood me up, although the real question is, “Why did I keep agreeing?” Mind you he was still married to Billie Piper at the time… Anyway, he’s a friend now and I think he’s very brave if a little idiosyncratic,’ she said.

A source claimed to The Sun that Billie was ‘humiliated and betrayed’ by the revelation.

Laurence and Billie dated from 2006 after meeting while working on the stage play, Treats.

They married one year later on December 31, 2007 in West Sussex, before divorcing eight years later.
