Celebrating her birthday, actor Kiami Davael wowed fans by posting some ultra glamorous shots of herself in a sleek white dress and perfect make up.

Becoming an unwitting style icon in her debut acting role for her floral dresses, huge glasses and funky braids. Lavender was a hipster before hipsters even existed.

In the last 20 years Kiami has left her kooky fashion behind and swapped dorky for total glam.

How great does she look?

We don't recognise her at all.

Since her role in Matilda, the Kentucky-born girl has starred in a string of TV series including Conan, Grown Ups and Bruno. However, the actor has stayed relatively under the radar since her role as Miss Trunchbull's nemesis meaning her beautiful transformation comes as a total shock to most people.

If that's not enough, wait til you see what Matilda looks like now.

Mara Wilson hit the big screen as the super intelligent tot with the trademark dark brown fringe in the early 90's.

Since then she's stuck in the limelight with a child role in the adorable Christmas film Miracle on 34th Street, an adult voiceover role in Bojack Horseman and she plays Donnie's wife in TV programme, Demo Reel.

She's still got that fringe! And looks lovely.

The best bit? The two are still friends in real life. Awwww.
