Actress Soleil was adorable in the role with her fringe, bunches and freckly nose.
Last year, the show was rebooted and fans got a shock when they saw how incredible Soleil looks as an adult.
The Peacock series sees Soleil as a single mum with three kids following her divorce.
Soleil showed off her sleek dark hair and stylish wardrobe in the show, which featured 10 episodes.
After the original Punky Brewster series ended, Soleil continued to act in TV movies and guest roles on other shows.
In 2000, she landed the role of Roxie King in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which she played until 2003.
