Homebound to keep safe from the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Emily Simpson has been finding creative ways to fill her time including cooking, doing activities with her kids, and reading. The voluntary self-quarantine period has even led the attorney to take a trip down memory lane. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

On March 16, The Real Housewives of Orange County cast member took to Instagram Stories to share stunning pictures from a past time in her life: one in which she worked as a model. That's right, before becoming a kickass attorney, party planner extraordinaire, and overall supermom, Emily spent plenty of time in front of a camera working her angles. 

The vintage pics also revealed that the current sunkissed blonde-highlighted beauty has dabbled with many different hairstyles in the past.

"Had a dream last night I was 25... so found some photos in my 20s," Emily captioned a photo of her younger self posing on the beach in bikini bottoms and a long-sleeved top with super dark strands. In another snap, Emily styled her dark brunette hair in a sleek bun while modeling a hot pink jacket with leather boots. 

Emily also had a chunky highlight phase (don't we all). In several modeling headshots, Emily sported contrasting blonde highlights with a face-framing layered haircut (very Kelly Clarkson circa 2000s). 

"Love that early 2000s chunky highlight look," she quipped. And that's not all.
