These pictures will make you do a double take because we can\u2019t believe the transformation of Love Island<\/a> star Anna Vakili<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The reality star<\/a> appeared on the ITV<\/a> dating show in 2019 and repeatedly wowed viewers with her stunning looks.<\/p>\n

At the time, Anna sported long, brunette locks, a tanned complexion, full lips, and was never not in full glam.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2024, however, and she looks worlds away from her Love Island self.<\/p>\n

Anna, now aged 33,<\/a> regularly shares high-fashion pics with her 1.2million Instagram followers.<\/p>\n

In her recent shots, the media personality has blonde tresses, which she often styles in bouncy curls or a chic up do.<\/p>\n

It appears Anna has had her lighter locks for some time, but she did temporarily return to her roots (pun wholly intended) in May 2021.<\/p>\n

Wearing a wig, she posed for a selfie with the jokey caption: \u2018This wig got me looking like Anna from Love Island \ud83e\udd23\u2019<\/p>\n

As for her style, the social media star loves to keep up with the trends, whether it\u2019s figure-hugging dresses with racy cut-outs showcasing her curves, or a funky swimwear set.<\/p>\n

Anna\u2019s content covers fashion, beauty, and travel, as she loves jetting to sunnier climates and soaking up the sun with her gal pals.<\/p>\n

Career-wise post-Love Island, Anna \u2013 who was previously dubbed the British version of Kim Kardashian<\/a> \u2013 puts her master\u2019s degree to good use working as a pharmacist.<\/p>\n

In fact, she previously admitted that influencing was taking a toll on her mental health.<\/p>\n

Anna has a successful podcast \u2013 Sisters In The City \u2013 with sister Mandi, but she decided to return to work as a pharmacist part-time.<\/a><\/p>\n

She did so at the height of the pandemic, telling Metro.co.uk<\/strong> at the time: \u2018It was so weird going back and almost felt like the whole show didn\u2019t happen and that was all a dream.<\/p>\n

\u2018It was so scary at the time because Covid was at its peak. It was just something I felt I had to do. It was just nice to help out at a time when everyone was in need.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anna also revealed that she always planned to \u2018dip in and out\u2019.<\/p>\n

In a more recent interview, Anna stuck to her word.<\/p>\n

\u2018It played on my mind that I\u2019d studied so hard to be a pharmacist and I wasn\u2019t using it, and forgetting everything I\u2019d learned,\u2019 Anna said.<\/p>\n

After just a couple of months, she already felt brighter.<\/p>\n

\u2018I feel so much better mentally, I\u2019m enjoying keeping my brain ticking and being back in the job.\u2019<\/p>\n

Having studied for five years to qualify to be a pharmacist, Anna felt overwhelmed when opportunity after opportunity came her way once she had left the villa.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s now enjoying being back in a 9-5 schedule some of the time while running her podcast and doing social media work on the side.<\/p>\n

\u2018Being an influencer, you don\u2019t really have a routine unless you are really disciplined, and I\u2019m not,\u2019 she told Closer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018I can be a bit lazy, sometimes I wouldn\u2019t go to bed until 5am and then get up at 2pm and try to squeeze all my content-making into one day.<\/p>\n

\u2018I didn\u2019t like not having a routine and it affected my mental health massively, I felt like I didn\u2019t have enough of a purpose.\u2019<\/p>\n
