You won't believe what Big Brother's SJ looked like in her younger years

Seventies chic! - by Alex Lilly
  • 11 May 2021

She's known for her eclectic style and it seems Big Brother's Sarah Jane Adams has always been something of a fashionista - especially back in the seventies.

With over 34,000 followers on Instagram, the 66-year-old frequently shares pictures of her travels, clothes and loved ones but she also loves to share the odd throwback to herself in her younger years.

Back then, Sarah Jane, who also goes by 'SJ' sold antique jewellery on the streets of London before turning it into an international business and was the epitome of seventies chic.

In 2018, she shared a stunning black and white throwback of herself that oozed Janis Joplin vibes and captioned it: "London 1976."

SJ still has one of her jackets from the seventies that she still wears to this day!

After SJ moved to Australia, she kept serving iconic looks.

In 2018, the Big Brother contestant shared a photo of herself visiting Uluru in 1983 wearing an orange mini dress with her hair styled in a curly mullet.

"Don't look back," she captioned the snap.

Now that's some eighties hair!

SJ isn't afraid to share her less glamorous looks either.

Earlier this year, the Big Brother star uploaded a throwback photo of herself in Sydney's Newtown wearing a denim jacket and patterned scarf.

In fact, she looks almost unrecognisable with her black fringe and round shades.

"Do you. It's worked for me #tb #knowyourself #coldsore," she wrote in the caption.

As one of this year's Big Brother frontrunners, SJ has been considered one to watch but has hit back at claims that she has a relationship with host Sonia Kruger or a commercial relationship with other brands.

"FOR THE RECORD. I met @soniakruger once in 2017, when she interviewed me for a segment about my style, shortly after I was 'discovered' by US Style blogger, and revolutionary, @advancedstyle," she wrote on Instagram on Monday.

"Since then I have had no contact with Sonia until I met her on entering the @bigbrotherau house."

Can SJ win Big Brother?
