Mandy Moore recently debuted a new look while attending Step Up’s 2025 Inspiration Awards at the Skirball Cultural Centre in Los Angeles.
The This Is Us star, 41, posed for photos on the red carpet on September 26 in a white silk blouse, black mini skirt, tights and pointed-toe heels.
She also wore a bold red lipstick and light mascara, accessorising with small, delicate gold hoop earrings.
Fans quickly took note of her seemingly altered appearance and flooded social media with confusion.
“I’m genuinely baffled,” one person wrote on X. “I can’t figure it out how this can be the same person. Mandy Moore was such a natural beauty, why get work done to the point of being unrecognised”.
“I’m sorry but has anyone else seen MANDY MOORE lately?!!?!?! This is so far from her face assigned at birth????” a second person joked.
“What the hell happened to Mandy Moore? Literally a few months apart,” a third person said, sharing before-and-after photos of Moore’s progression.
“I’m still in shock that this person is Mandy Moore,” another added, with someone else agreeing, “There’s absolutely zero f**king way that’s Mandy Moore”.
The Candy singer looked much more like herself in April when she attended the 2025 Fashion Trust US Awards in LA.
The actress had a tough year after facing backlash for posting a GoFundMe to help out some family members whose Altadena, California, home was destroyed in the Eaton wildfires in January.
Critics immediately slammed Moore for asking fans to donate to a fundraiser. However, she hit back by telling them to “Kindly F off”.
“People questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic. Of course we are,” Moore explained in an Instagram post at the time.
Moore was also affected by the fires as her Altadena home was lightly damaged in the blaze.
Her spokesman did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
