She’s been settling into her new life in Australia after years in Hollywood.
And Kate Walsh looked unrecognisable as she appeared on set to film her upcoming six-part comedy series Optics by ABC and Screen Australia in Sydney this week.
The star, who is best known for her roles in Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, has ditched her signature red locks for a cropped, blonde bob haircut.
Stepping out of her trailer on Monday, the actress sported a dramatic look consisting of black-framed glasses and several warm layers of clothing.
She braved the cold and kept warm in a black puffer jacket over another fleece, plus black track pants and bright orange socks worn with black Birkenstock sandals.
The actress appeared to be speaking to a member of crew, or trying to get their attention, and was later seen walking around the set with a delicious meal.

She recently revealed she had fallen in love with Australia’s laid back lifestyle and was happy to call Perth home.
‘I really love Western Australia… I think nature here eclipses everything. It drives me,’ she told news.com.au.
‘I like the slowness. It’s really good for me. And then you go back overseas and you’re like, “Oh my god. People are insane,” she added.
Walsh then said she often flew to America for filming and then returned to Australia when she was free to spend more time with her fiancé.

‘I feel very fortunate I can pop back to LA, go to work, and then come back here and live my best life.’
‘I needed my life to be a lot more balanced. And then, I fell in love with an Aussie, and here I am. I love it. I’m very grateful,’ she added.
The California native reportedly met Andrew, of Nixon Farming, on a cruise just before the start of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020.
The Nixon family have been farming predominantly malt barley and canola in the Moora/New Norcia area of Western Australia for close to 100 years, according to their website.
This will be the second time down the aisle for Kate, who ended her 15-month marriage to Day Shift executive producer Alex Young in 2010.
The showbiz couple legally separated in 2008. They cited the celeb favourite ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split.
Kate is currently in Sydney for the shoot, and was later seen stepping out of her trailer in a cream knitted scarf
