She is one of Australia’s most successful athletes who earned the title as the fourth fastest 100m hurdler in history.
And Sally Pearson stunned fans on Tuesday when she revealed her very glamorous new look.
The Olympic hurdler, 37, was barely recognisable as she appeared on Sunrise to discuss Aussie boxer Harry Garside’s loss at the Paris Olympics.
Sally’s new look consisted of voluminous blonde locks and a full face of makeup including blush, eyeliner and faux lashes.
During the interview, the athlete discussed the moment Garside broke down and said he let his country down.
‘I think it’s him showing his emotions and I think its brave to be able to do that. I was an athlete that wore my heart on my sleeve,’ she said.
‘I think us athletes we always think that we only feel the pressure that we put on ourselves.’
She continued: ‘When someone comes out like that and apologises to the Australian public, it shows the weight of the nation we do carry that into the Olympic Games.’

‘I don’t think anyone should really say sorry, because they haven’t done anything wrong.’
Sally admitted she felt like she had ‘failed herself’ on several occasions when she competed in the past.
‘I think it’s really brave of him to be able to say that,’ she added.
