She has entertained generations of New Zealanders on our TV screens, but after ditching her trademark look you may not recognise her.
The British actress has been a household name since the 1980s and has visited New Zealand a number of times.
She admits to being a "huge twat " and after making her name in edgy sketch comedy, became a sitcom fixture with her role as a straight-talking vicar in a little English village.
The comic, who used to be known for her brunette bob, recently shared video making light of the struggles of Brits overseas, playfully speaking in pidgin Spanish as she acted out an awkward restaurant scene on her sunny getaway.
The addition of a hat and the lack of a bold lip colour seemed to confuse some who saw the clip online with one person writing: "WTF? That's Dawn French?"
She also lost a lot of the weight that led to her describing herself as "roly-poly 80s comedienne Dawn French".
