Actress Kristen Wiig looked stunning on the red carpet as she arrived to the Actor Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night – but some viewers couldn’t help but notice that she looked very fresh-faced.
Wiig, 52, appeared in a sexy, black silk gown with a cut-out, open back, and exposed side boob for the night, pairing the simple look with a thick gold bracelet.
She wore her brown hair in a dramatic side part, a change from her usual blonde locks – but it was her glowing visage that fans couldn’t seem to get over.
In light makeup with a smoky eye, Wiig looked more youthful than ever, appearing well-rested and spry.
On X (formerly Twitter), some Netflix viewers admitted that they didn’t even recognize the Bridesmaids actress at first.
‘I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE KRISTEN WIIG,’ one person wrote.
Another agreed, ‘I did not recognize Kristen Wiig at first. She looks good!’
‘I thought that was Sheryl Crow,’ someone else commented.

‘What is happening in Hollywood?’ one user asked.
‘Kristen Wiig looks insanely good, I need a minute,’ a user typed.
Others couldn’t take their eyes off Wiig’s spray tan, as one person even compared the color to that of President Donald Trump’s.
‘Is Kristen Wiig going to Trump’s spray tan artist or what?’ one X user wrote.
Another seconded, ‘Kristen Wiig overdid it with the spray tan.’
‘Why is Kristen Wiig so orange?’ one person wondered.
The Daily Mail reached out to Wiig’s representative for comment.
Wiig appeared at the awards show as she was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her role in Apple TV’s Palm Royale.
Her nomination came just a few weeks after the comedian revealed that she once had a ‘breakdown’ on Saturday Night Live, after she hit a creative wall on the show

The big event, which takes place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, will honor this year’s biggest performances in film and television, with Kristen Bell, who showed up without husband Dax Shepard, hosting the event.
The winners are decided upon by active members of the SAG-AFTRA union, and this year, some of the biggest names in Hollywood are nominated across the various categories.
The awards show comes as the Oscars loom just two weeks away, set for March 15.
Many of this year’s hit movies are up for nominations in Best Cast in a Motion Picture – including Marty Supreme, Hamnet, One Battle After Another, Sinners, and Frankenstein.
Her nomination came just a few weeks after the comedian revealed that she once had a ‘breakdown’ on Saturday Night Live, after she hit a creative wall on the show.
Wiig joined the variety series in 2005 and spent seven years cracking up audience members until her departure in 2012.
As effortless as Wiig made it seem on camera, even she struggled to keep up with the show’s demands for fresh, new sketches every week.
Wiig got real about just how difficult it was to continuously come up with new characters during an appearance on Bowen Yang and Matt Roger’s podcast, Las Culturistas.
‘I auditioned twice and I remember when they had me come back for the second one, I was like, “I like did everything. I did everything. I literally did every character that I have.” And three seasons in, having a breakdown, “I’ve done every voice. I have nothing,”‘ she said.
Bowen, who recently departed Saturday Night Live after six years, admitted to feeling similarly during his second season.
Wiig said working with other people helped her overcome the creative block.
