She was known as the blonde bombshell searching for love on Married At First Sight last year.<\/a><\/p>\n

But Sara Mesa is totally unrecognisable these days after totally changing\u00a0her look<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Colombian-born reality star showed off her transformation at the launch of Billini shoes<\/a> Vacanza Summer ’25 Collection in Point Piper, Sydney<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Sara revealed her long dark brown locks and slimmed-down frame as she posed alongside several other models and influencers at a private Harbourside mansion.<\/p>\n

Sara, 30, who was paired with Tim Calwell on the Channel Nine experiment, wore a two-piece ensemble for the event, showing off a hint of her midriff in a lemon-coloured crop top and matching trousers.<\/p>\n

She was decked out in accessories from Billini – including a pair of chic black sandals, a matching woven handbag, large gold shell earrings and yellow-tinted sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Sara opened up on her split from Tim and told how they are on ‘very friendly’ terms despite going their separate ways.<\/p>\n

She also revealed her biggest regrets from her time on MAFS, admitting she is glad the show is over after watching herself on-screen.<\/p>\n

‘I am so relieved. Yeah, obviously just really glad it’s over now,’ she explained.<\/p>\n

‘I feel like reliving it a second time in a fairly different light, was a bit stressful so it’s nice to know like we’re done and can just move on from it now,’ she said.<\/p>\n

When asked about her relationship with Tim after their split, she added: ‘Tim and I are on friendly terms.<\/p>\n

‘We hadn’t really spoken post-break-up, but we’re actually very friendly now.<\/p>\n

‘We speak every day that [the show’s] on and discuss it, but yeah, it’s nice to know we can still be friends and share that experience together.<\/p>\n

‘It’d be really sad to just leave it as if we didn’t speak again, that would be really sad.’<\/p>\n

She also reflected back on her reunion row with Tim, after Jono revealed Tim had expressed doubts about their relationship after the Final Vows, shocking Sara.<\/p>\n

‘Look, it was definitely really hard to hear. I think my anger and frustration came from Tim telling me the complete opposite stuff behind closed doors,’ she shared.<\/p>\n

‘It was a kick in the gut because I feel like throughout the whole experience I’ve just wanted to feel safe and I wanted to feel like he’s had my back and we were on the same page.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She was known as the blonde bombshell searching for love on Married At First Sight last year.
