After all these years, Sinéad O'Connor is still full of surprises.

The "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer isn't tearing up pictures of the Pope or shaving her head any longer—now she just looks, well, like a completely different human being.

A bespectacled O'Connor showed off a long, dark hairdo with bangs and a fuller figure at an Irish music festival over the weekend.

The controversial Irish crooner, who still writes music and performs, served as a backup singer at the Bray Seaside Festival for reggae artist Natty Wailer.

O'Connor—now a 44-year-old mother of four—stuck to her odd fashion choices, wearing an oversized blazer and half shirt over a belly-baring sheer body stocking, ill-fitting black pants, and accessorizing with a wooden crucifix.
