Actress Ellie Leach, now 21, shared the cute image to her Instagram page, which showed her sporting a sparkling diamante top and matching earrings.
Her brunette hair was scraped back to her head and tied up in a high style, leaving her natural features to shine through.
Ellie was posing with a pal and she used the snap to celebrate her mate’s birthday.
In the caption, she gushed: “Here’s a little throwback for you.
“Hope you have the best day ever.”
The Fay Windass actress, who is now 21, looks completely different with her sophisticated style and wavy brunette locks.
She has been spotted out and about in her native Manchester flashing a smile during her break from Coronation Street.
The star will be sticking around on the Cobbles for at least another year after bosses asked her to stay on following the exit of two characters.

A source said: “Ellie is a huge talent and bosses are delighted she’s signed a new contract.
“She’s really proved herself time and time again, most recently after the accident which caused Ted’s death. There’s lots more to come from her and some exciting storylines ahead.”
The actress, who is Brooke Vincent’s cousin, joined the cast in 2011 and has cemented herself as one of the key players in Weatherfield.
She recently took six months off the soap while her character was in prison.
She was sentenced for attacking Adam, thinking he was pervert Ray and left him for dead.
Her character returned to screens this year, with Ellie admitting she had a “boring” time doing “nothing.”
“It was the most boring six months. I couldn’t wait to get back to work,” she explained.
“I would have liked to have gone away but obviously with the travel restrictions and stuff it meant that I couldn’t which was quite sad but I’m sure there will be times where I can go away soon.”
