Doja Cat left fans stunned on Sunday when she arrived in Sydney sporting a dramatically toned-down look.
Gone was the hyper-glam pop persona she’s known for.
Instead, the 30-year-old American chart-topper was virtually unrecognisable as she greeted fans outside her hotel.
Doja’s fresh-faced appearance and curly dark hair looked a world away from her stage persona.
She kept her look effortlessly low-key, wearing a white button-down shirt left undone at the collar to reveal a hint of midriff, teamed with tailored black trousers.
She layered a dramatic oversized black coat over the top, draped casually around her shoulders for a relaxed, off-duty feel.

She carried a black leather handbag, and signing autographs with a subtle smile, the singer looked calm and collected as she stepped out of a black SUV.
Her minimal make-up showcased her natural complexion, a stark contrast to the high-gloss, ultra-sculpted look she’s known for on red carpets.
The understated ensemble marks a striking shift from her usual red carpet looks, where she recently stunned in a glittering gold, plunging gown and tight blonde curls.
The hitmaker has been slammed by furious fans after her appearance at Melbourne’s Ms Collins nightclub over the weekend ended in chaos.
The much-hyped one-night-only event was completely sold out, with punters paying between $75 and $130 to see the superstar perform.
After keeping the crowd waiting for more than three hours, Doja walked onstage, performed just three songs, told fans she was losing her voice and abruptly ended the show after around 15 minutes.
She did not return.
One disappointed fan told the Herald Sun the night was a major ‘let down,’ adding that the singer should have communicated her condition earlier.

‘I would have appreciated if Doja Cat had communicated her situation earlier in the night and potentially even offered to DJ her own songs,’ the fan said.
‘I think the crowd would have appreciated at least seeing her on stage for more than 15 minutes. It was a let down.’
Another unimpressed attendee tweeted: ‘Three songs and so much money later im heartbroken.’
A third added: ‘Waited four hours at Ms Collins for Doja and she only sang for 10 mins. I’m so f**king pissed off.’
Meanwhile, one club-goer fumed on TikTok about the lack of refunds, writing: ‘The fact she hasn’t offered refunds is so disrespectful to us.’
Doja has not publicly addressed the backlash.
