Stop, in the name of make-up! Diana Ross' supremely bad day

Diana Ross shocked onlookers last month when stepped out slathered in a rainbow of make-up, but when she emerged yesterday au naturale, the effect was equally as frightening.

The diva, who was arriving for lunch with friends at an LA restaurant, appears to have abandoned efforts to look polished.

As well as her bare face, the braless singer had thrown on a mismatched ensemble and let her curly hair go wild in the wind.

Fright: Diana Ross abandoned efforts to look polished during her latest outing in LA

While her make-up free is unlikely to win her any extra fans, the Detroit-born divas latest performances are winning rave reviews.

The 63-year-old has won critical acclaim for her sell out shows, including a concert a Paramount Theatre earlier this month.

The San Francisco Chronicle raved her "cooing mezzo tones are as elastic and on pitch as they were 43 years ago when she had her first major hit with the Supremes."

Although Diana hasn't had a major hit in the US in more than twenty years, her latest album "I Love You," has been warmly received by loyal fans.

The other extreme: last month Diana looked like a painted lady during at an LA event
