The picture, which was the front cover for Swimwear International back in 1997, was the model and new mom's first magazine success, and shows two pretty blonde teens flaunting their amazing figures in string bikinis in Greece.

But despite giving her fans quite a hint ("look at them roots!" the 36-year-old stunner captioned the shot, "This is when I slowly started dying my hair blonde..") many fans struggled to figure out which model was Coco, and many suggested she must have had surgery to look so different now.

Coco was quick to correct her commenters, while informing them that she's the one on "the left."

"Wow ppl are never gonna quit," Ice T's wife responded to accusations of surgical intervention. "I've only had my boobs done..and I actually have them done here..this was 18 years ago," she replied.

"I'm just really young and a tomboy," she added.
