Noughties pop star looks unrecognisable 20 years after huge hit album – but do you know who she is?


HER debut album is considered an early noughties classic.

And fans of the 2004 release Eye to the Telescope can’t quite believe it’s two decades old after its creator appeared on The One Show this week.

Singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, 49, now looks very different with a cool, dramatic hairdo.

The Scottish star has an undercut which she showed off with her hair tied back. The bubbly musician wore a slick of pink lipstick that matched her jumper and nails.

Viewers couldn’t believe how much time had passed since the hit album, which contained singles Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Suddenly I See and Other Side of the World.

One person commented on Instagram: “What? Thought she was still like 25.”

Another said: “20 what?”

A third posted: “That whole album was amazing and she’s looking very cool.”

The success of the record, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize in 2005, wasn’t lost on KT.

She said: “I have people coming up to me going ‘I’ve listened to you my whole life.

“I’m like ‘what?'”

She continued: “It was amazing because the song ended up much better known than me. I remember going to a party and someone went ‘oh, what do you do?’

“I said it was the song at the beginning of Devil Wears Prada and she went ‘oh my God, you’re on the party playlist.’

“I was so lucky to have a song that connected with people like that.”

The Devil Wears Prada starred Meryl Streep as ice queen fashion magazine boss Miranda Priestly, who is said to be based on Vogue editor Anna Wintour.

Anne Hathaway played overwhelmed intern Andy Sachs who, with help from Stanley Tucci’s character Nigel, received a high fashion glow up and won favour with Priestly.

Tunstall has gone on to release seven more albums, her latest being a 2003 collaborative effort, Face to Face, which she wrote and performed with Suzi Quatro.
