American Horror Story star Kate Mara was nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Friday.

Gone were the actress’ usual Titian tresses and in their place were golden blonde locks styled in a loose bun at the top of her head. 

 The Emmy nominee, 42, kept warm in the cool morning temperatures in a gold and white striped rugby shirt over a pair of black leggings.

She wore black mules on her feet and carried a straw bag with peach flowers and green leaves embroidered on it. 

The Astronaut actress carried a nearly empty coffee drink as she made her way through the Los Feliz area. 

The new hair color could be the result of a whim, or due to an upcoming job.

The acclaimed actress has signed to star in Imperfect Women with Elizabeth Moss and Kerry Washington. 

Kate Mara, 42, was nearly unrecognizable as she debuted new blonde tresses in Los Angeles on Friday 

The series, initially announced more than a year ago is based on the Araminta Hall novel of the same name. 

The psychological thriller focuses on three longtime friends whose lives art shattered by a brutal crime. 

The official description from Apple+ revealed the show is a ‘mystery complicated by perspective that explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that alter our lives irrevocably.’

‘As the investigation unravels, so does the truth about how even the closest relationships can change over time.’

Kate previously starred in American Horror Story as Hayden McClaine. 

She and her sister, Rooney Mara, 40, recently completed work on Bucking Fastard.

They star as two sisters who are so close they speak in unison, love the same man, played by Orlando Bloom, and have the same dreams. 

In the Werner Herzog directed drama they begin to search for an imaginary land where true love is possible.

Herzog reportedly met the real life twins, who inspired the story, several times and drew from that experience in writing the script, according to AVClub.com.  

It was the first time the highly regarded sisters had worked on a film together. 

The movie was shot in Ireland and Slovenia over several weeks. 

The producers will be looking for buyers at the Cannes Film Festival.
