Ariana Madix returned to “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday night, looking nearly unrecognizable.

Traditionally sporting her signature blonde hair, Madix, 40, befuddled viewers when she appeared at the show with brunette locks cascading down her back.

Wearing an embellished bra top, white silk pants, and an open-front shirt set, her more understated makeup matched the new laid-back hairstyle she debuted.

Madix returned to the reality show to celebrate its 20 th anniversary ; she appeared in season 32 and placed third overall in the dance competition.

The anniversary episode opened with current pros, dancing alongside six of the show’s original dancers in a piece choreographed by Derek Hough, with former co-host Tom Bergeron returning as a guest judge for the evening.
