Mercedes Corby recently stunned her fans by showcasing her bold new appearance to social media, which was worlds away from her signature look.

The sister of convicted drug trafficker Schapelle Corby, 50, shared a gallery of photos to Instagram earlier this year in which she unveiled her stunning makeover.

The Gold Coast-based influencer has said goodbye to her trademark highlighted brunette tresses and now sports stylish shoulder-length ginger locks.

The Australian bar owner looked like a completely different person as she flaunted her bold new look while on holiday in Japan.

Corby's face was noticeably different to the striking visage she became known for as she supported her sister Schapelle throughout her trial in Bali in 2005.

Regardless, Mercedes looked every inch the stunner in the incredible photos as she confidently flaunted her red hot hairdo, and whipped her followers into a frenzy. 

Mercedes is a mother-of-three, sharing sons Wayan Jr. and Nyoman, and daughter Nyeleigh with her former husband Wayan Widiartha. 

After separating from Widiartha in 2014, Mercedes is now reportedly dating somebody new.

Little is known about her new partner, however they have been posting pictures together on social media since 2021. 

Mercedes came to public attention shortly after her sister's arrest in Bali, Indonesia in October 2004, where she was found to have 4.2kg of marijuana hidden in her boogie board.

She was often photographed visiting her sister where she was held in Bali's notorious Kerobokan Prison, and Mercedes later briefly launched a career as a model, appearing on the cover of axed lads mag Ralph in 2008.

Following Schapelle's release on parole in 2014, the Corby sisters have maintained a relatively low profile

After previously living in Bali, Mercedes moved back to Queensland's Gold Coast in August 2016.

Schapelle served nine years behind bars at Bali's Kerobokan Prison after being found guilty in May 2005 of smuggling marijuana into Indonesia.

The former beauty student, 47, was released on parole in February 2014 and deported back to Australia in May 2017 and now works as a clockmaker and influencer.
