Who's that girl? Actress Piper Perabo attends a storytelling event 'A More Perfect Union: Stories of Prejudice & Power' at New York Public Library on Monday night
She made her name as the fresh-faced small-town girl in hit film Coyote Ugly back in 2000.
But these days Piper Perabo is sporting quite a different look.
The 34-year-old appeared at an event in New York on Monday for the USA network looking practically unrecognisable.
Instead of her usual girl-next door style, Piper looked much more like the standard cookie-cutter Hollywood blonde.
Wearing a figure-hugging ruched dark blue dress that showed off her slender figure, the actress appeared to have undergone a bit of a transformation.
The actress was cast as the lead character in the television spy series Covert Affairs on the USA Network in June 2009.
Playing Annie Walker, a young CIA trainee unexpectedly sent out into the field, Piper has a very action-packed role.
And it looks as if she will be sticking to TV after working in both movies and the stage.
Changes: Piper still looked like the girl next door even three years ago at the Tribeca Film Festival short film program
She says: 'I’d been doing a play for almost a year, Neil Labute’s Reasons to be Pretty.
And because of the sort of actor de facto strike and then the real writers' strike, there had just been a real slowdown in film and scripts coming out.
'So when this came up, although I hadn’t really considered doing television before, because it was a feminine heroine, that really attracted me to it, you know what I mean?
'Not just playing like the girlfriend of the sidekick or the person who’s always being rescued. It’s just, there’s nothing to do in those roles, and they get pretty boring.'
