Jurassic Park child star Ariana Richards looks completely different almost 30 years later, as she attended the premiere of the last movie in the dinosaur saga.
The 42-year-old looked sensational in a dark blue denim suit as she walked the grey carpet at the Jurassic World: Dominion premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Monday, wowing fans with her surprise appearance.
The new flick, which stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as well as original Jurassic Park stars Laura Dern, Sam Neill, and Jeff Goldblum, is set to be released on Wednesday.
To celebrate, Ariana was invited to the star-studded bash, as she posed cheekily in the mouth of a model T-Rex, and smiled for the cameras.
Fans were stunned to see Ariana almost 30 years after she made her debut as the tech-savvy teenager Lex Murphy in the original 1993 film.
She shot to superstardom when she landed the role in director Steven Spielberg’s first film in the dinosaur saga, playing the granddaughter of John Hammond, who created the fictional park.
Hammond’s passion project, which involved dinosaurs being created in a lab in South America being put on display in a lavish theme park on a doomed island, saw Lex and her brother Tim (Joseph Mazzello) being given the first-ever tour of Jurassic Park alongside palaeontologists Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), as well as scientist Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum).
Ariana briefly reprised her role for the sequel, The Lost World: Jurassic Park in 1997, and went to star in TV movie The Princess Stallion later that same year, and one year later, appeared in Broken Silence.
She quit acting in 2013, after starring in the TV movie Battledogs, and put her degree in Fine Art to good use as she launched a new career as a painter.
Ariana is also a mum, as she and husband Mark Bolton - who she wed in 2013 - share a daughter, who was born in 2015.
