The stars of HBO show, The Sopranos, were out in force on Wednesday night when they attended the 25th anniversary party.
The bash was held at Da Nico Ristorante in Little Italy, New York and iconic one character turned heads when she made an appearance at the event.
Sporting an all-black ensemble and without her trademark glasses that she wore on the show, the actress looked a little different when not in character.
So can you guess who it is?
That’s right, it’s Lorraine Bracco, 69, who played Tony Soprano’s long-suffering psychiatrist, Jennifer Melfi.
