Maisie Smith showed off a brand new look as she spent some time with her family after recently leaving her hometown to live in Manchester with her boyfriend Max George. The former EastEnders actress was seen alongside her lookalike mum as she headed back to Southend after moving out of her family's home in March.
Maisie, who is famed for having played Tiffany Butcher in the BBC One soap for more than 10 years, was seen all smiles in pictures with her mum Julia and her sister Scarlett outside the Ocean Beach cafe, bar and bistro as they spent some quality time together with Maisie and Scarlett's grandad.
But fans couldn't help but be distracted as their eyes were drawn to 21-year-old Maisie's fresh face as the pictures captured her bleached eyebrows for the first time.

Alongside the post, Maisie's mum wrote: "The gang back together," to which the former Strictly Come Dancing finalist replied in the comments: "LUV LUV LUV," alongside a red love heart.
But some had to do a double take as they failed to recognise Maisie at first. @farahx1x said: "Wow I didn't recognise Masie??!" @zo_private_x replied: "Maisie looks completely different @maisiesmithofficial @js.management lovely pic though."
Maisie was then later seen in a video posted to her Instagram Story as she was waved off by her family at the train station. "Saying sayonara to my home town after a 2 day visit," she typed alongside the video as she was seen giving a theatre-worthy wave to the camera.
In the clip, she dramatically waved and blew kisses to an imaginary crowd as she sported an oversized red tee with a pair of denim jeans but again, eyes were drawn to her no-eyebrow look.
It comes after Maisie was flooded with compliments after sharing a string of images from her latest trip with her The Wanted star boyfriend Max. The pair had travelled to Istanbul as Max watched his beloved football club Manchester City win the Champions League over Inter Milan, meaning Pep Guardiola's side secured the historic treble having already won the Premier League and FA Cup.
Sharing a string of pictures on Instagram from the Atatürk Olympic Stadium where the Champions League final was held last Saturday (June 10), Max declared to his 373K followers: "The greatest night of my life."
Maisie meanwhile posted a bunch of snaps of herself posing around the area as well as being seen tucking into a dessert accompanied by an extravagant fruit platter. "A day in the life," the actress captioned the post to her 1M followers.
And the album of makeup-free snaps left Maisie fans and followers rushing to share their compliments. @hamster__1874 said: "When you prove make up is overrated." @nerskynco wrote: "Wow, you are a different league of beautiful without make up."
@michelleemmatucker commented: "I have to echo what others have said..... whole other level of beautiful bare faced! Stunning!" @michelle_taylor64 posted: "Naturally beautiful." @miss_greenwood84_ replied: "Wow beautiful human." @angeldelight74 added: "Stunner great pics."
