60 Best Celebrity Makeovers of All Time
When you're always in the spotlight, sometimes you need a style reinvention. These celebrities have have major transformations, changing everything from their fashion sense to their hair color. Get inspiration from these celebrity makeovers that are worthy of applause.
By Jessica Cruel
January Jones
Back in 2005 when the cruelness that is Betty Draper was just a glimmer in Matthew Weiner's eye, January Jones sported a soft and sweet style. Her layered waves and glowing skin at the Toronto Film Festival said easy beach babe not Mad woman.
January Jones
Five seasons of Mad Men later, January has ditched her girlish ways for a more sophisticated style. Her sleek side part and angular long bob at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in 2012, give her a modern edge that sets her apart from her retro character.
Zoe Kravitz
As the lone offspring of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, Zoe is guaranteed to be a member of the cool crowd. At a screening of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh in 2009 she showed off her hipster status with thick, rounded bangs and cherry red lips.
Zoe Kravitz
Zoe takes a less dramatic approach at an event in 2012, wearing a delicate lace frock, soft pink makeup, with loose tendrils of hair framing her face. She still oozes coolness, but her new toned-down look lets her really show off those good genes.
Rachel McAdams
Flipped out, half-up, half-down hair and natural makeup give this Notebook star a prim and pretty sorority girl style at a press conference for The Family Stone in 2005.
Rachel McAdams
Rachel upgraded to vamp for the premiere of The Vow in 2012. She’s got an of-the-moment edge with thick bangs and dark eye liner—not to mention the swipe of red lipstick that takes her to the level of major Hollywood star.
Kelly Clarkson
Just after her big American Idol win in 2002, Kelly Clarkson still looks like an average college girl with blonde-streaked, shoulder-length hair, and glossy lips.
Kelly Clarkson
Now she is owning her much-deserved star power with golden blonde locks, choppy bangs and a stand-out sequin top at the Capital FM Summertime Ball in June 2012.
Raven Symoné
With her bedazzled top, Hello Kitty necklace, curly hair, and pink eye shadow, Raven didn't subscribe to the "less is more" theory at the Kids Choice Awards in 2008.
Raven Symoné
By the Race to Erase MS event in 2011, Raven had learned to take it down to the core beauty basics: glowing skin, sleek makeup and shiny hair.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda was every bit the girl next door back in 2008. Her extra-long locks and subtle lip color make her-oh-so approachable at the premiere of her breakout film Mamma Mia.
Amanda Seyfried
Amanda's gone from sweet to sultry in just a few years: At the 2012 premiere of Gone she dons seductive smoky eye makeup and voluminous curls. An Old Hollywood aesthetic definitely suits this fair-skinned beauty.
Giuliana Rancic
Back in 2005 when Giuliana was still Ms. DePandi, she showed off her girly side with bubblegum pink lipstick, rosy cheeks, and highlighted layers at a Children's Burn Foundation fundraiser.
Giuliana Rancic
The now Mrs. Rancic ditched her sugary style for a more sexed-up look at the 2012 Gracie Awards Gala with a va-va-voom red bandage dress, flirty brown curls, and smoky eyes.
Demi Lovato
In her Disney days, Demi sported dark, one-color tresses that fell in long, layered waves. Her natural look at the City of Hope Benefit Concert in 2008 had a youthful innocence that didn't foreshadow what was yet to come...or did it?
Demi Lovato
Post-Disney Demi has embraced the rock n’ roll image. After a stint in rehab and a new gig as a X Factor judge, Lovato spiced things up a bit with funky pink highlights and an I Dream of Jeannie ponytail at the show’s auditions in June 2012.
Heidi Klum
Nothing says Victoria's Secret model like Heidi’s blonde bombshell waves, hoop earrings and sparkling pink moto jacket at the kick off of the Angels Across America tour in 2004.
Heidi Klum
Heidi has definitely learned a few styling tips as host of Project Runway. Her chic layers, luscious lashes and chain-detailed top at the 10th anniversary of the show in 2012 are so much more fashion-forward.
Miley Cyrus
From her fake and baked skin to her over-done red extensions, Miley looked anything but au naturel at the 2010 Grammy Awards.
Miley Cyrus
Newly-engaged Miley's bouffant bob and bold brows at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards give her a classic look to match her more mature relationship status. But even though she’s saying goodbye to being single, she's still keeping that nose ring.
Rooney Mara
Rooney’s cascading brunette curls and sheer top adorned with an oversized bow and lace relay her feminine fashion sense at the 2010 Youth in Revolt premiere.
Rooney Mara
Rooney has gone to the dark side at the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo premiere. Her new inky cut and red lips are full of naughty sex appeal.
Jennifer Lopez
Jenny from the Block was a brunette with bouncing curls at the 1997 premiere of Anaconda. The dark lip color was a temporary blunder for the dancer-turned-singer-turned-actress.
Jennifer Lopez
Three marriages and twins later, J.Lo is taking a more natural approach to makeup, but she still has a weakness for sheer red carpet attire at the 2011 American Music Awards.
Emma Watson
At the 2008 premier of The Tale of Despereaux, Emma is still the innocent Hermoine from the Harry Potter epic with her sideswept bangs, shoulder-length curls, and basic makeup look.
Emma Watson
Emma shows she is all grown up at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. With the end of her childhood acting career, she has opted for an edgier look with a short brunette crop and eye makeup that is both glittering and smoky.
Katy Perry
When it comes to her hair, Katy Perry has wandered the color spectrum from blue to pink. Here she is wearing a reserved black bob with a blunt bang at the 2009 Palais des Festivals in Cannes. But her bright lip color and stand-out lashes still grab attention.
Katy Perry
At the launch of her perfume, MEOW!, Katy has chosen a demure blonde look that suggests her days as a color junkie are through (but with a hint of blue still visible in this do we doubt it!)
Nicole Richie
Nicole showcased her love of headwear, highlights and tube tops at the 2002 Playstation pre-Superbowl party. Her grunge style means nothing but trouble.
Nicole Richie
Now, Nicole has come into her socialite persona and rocks a demure blonde bob with bangs at her House of Harlow 1960 holiday pop-up shop.
Taylor Swift
Taylor strikes a country music chord with a head full of curls and casual makeup look at the 2006 Country Music Association Awards all thats missing is her guitar.
Taylor Swift
Taylor has opted to darken her tresses, straighten her natural curls, and cut her bangs. Attending Billboard's 2011 Women in Music event she also swiped on her favorite red lipstick which fans have come to expect in her red carpet looks.
Rihanna
Rihanna had hairstylists everywhere cutting their clients into an asymmetrical bob as seen here at the 2007 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
Rihanna
At the 2011 London launch of her new scent, Reb'l Fleur, Rihannas new hairdo is reminiscent of the Farrah Fawcett of the 70s with a fiery fix.
Beyoncé Knowles
These two-toned, bodacious curls are more than we can handle on Beyoncé at the 2002 Austin Powers in Goldmember premiere. She was definitely channeling the Foxy Cleopatra of the 70s.
Beyoncé Knowles
At the 2011 launch of her fragrance, Pulse, this braided style suits the superstars on-the-go lifestyle and will be much easier to manage with a baby in tow! Beyoncé still loves to sparkle in her sequins ensemble.
Gwen Stefani
As a member of No Doubt, Gwen had a punk image to uphold with her mesh tank layered with a bikini top and an oversized gold chain at the 2001 VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards.
Gwen Stefani
Now, Gwens business is fashion. She stays true to her rocker style with gold accents and an askew top knot hairstyle at the In the Land of Blood and Honey premiere in Los Angeles.
Vanessa Hudgens
The teeny bopper style that Vanessa portrayed in High School Musical lives on at the Radio Disney Totally 10 Birthday Concert where she wears layered necklaces, a black-tipped mani, and long beach waves.
Vanessa Hudgens
We prefer Vanessa's more sophisticated look at the 2011 premiere of Iris: A Journey Into the World of Cinema by Cirque du Soleil. Her new layered bob screams bohemian chic.
Jennifer Hudson
After her American Idol debut, J.Hud still wore a head full of curls at The Actors Fund of America gala. Her heavily lined lip and dark makeup colors betray her inexperience in the spotlight.
Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer has lost more than a few dress sizes! Her pastel pink lips are evidence that she has gained beauty savvy. We love her straightened cascading strands at Christmas in Washington 2011.
Katie Holmes
In 2003 Katie Holmes was ahead of her time with this two-toned hairstyle, but at The Matrix Reloaded premiere she still looked like a girl missing her garage band.
Katie Holmes
At a 2011 taping of the Late Show With David Letterman, Katie wears her long waves with style and has grown into her new family gal image while keeping her wholesome sex appeal.
Drew Barrymore
A child star no longer, Drew embodies a look that is more hippie than chic with her headpiece and sparkling scarf at the 1999 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
Drew Barrymore
Drew is sporting a brazen red dye that really makes her fair features and bright eyes simmer at a 2011 benefit dinner hoted by Chanel.
Dakota Fanning
Dakota maintains her girlish looks at the premiere ofThe Secret Life of Bees in Los Angeles by wearing a barely-there makeup look.
Dakota Fanning
At 17 years old, this child star is all grown up at the Rodarte Spring 2012 show during New York Fashion Week 2011. Dakotas blue eyes really shine next to her bright blonde strands that are super straight and cut with precision.
Tyra Banks
At this 1998 signing for her book,Tyra's Beauty Inside and Out, Tyra sports a textbook bob hairstyle and very little makeup which allows her natural beauty to shine.
Tyra Banks
Although there is no concrete evidence that Tyra has been under the knife, her nose is looking slimmer at the 2011 Get Schooled Foundation pep rally hints. Either way we support the model moguls choice to add blunt bangs to her updated bob.
Dianna Agron
When Dianna stepped into the spotlight in 2009 as a member of the Glee cast she still had the look of a high school student with her long flowing curls.
Dianna Agron
Now her short cut and pompadour updo at “Trevor LIVE” has made way for a more adult image as she expands her acting career from teen television drama.
Kristen Stewart
Kristen went blonde in 2007 at the Into the Wild premiere. Her light hair doesnt quite complement her brooding blue eyes like the brunette strands hat are peeking out at the roots.
Kristen Stewart
At the premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, Kristen has surpassed her brown locks and taken her look to darker black depths.
Evan Rachel Wood
At the 2003 The Last Samurai premiere, Evan is stuck in the past wearing a conservative jacket and curls that mimics the style of Jackie O.
Evan Rachel Wood
Evan is taking more fashion risks with her red lipstick, plummeting neckline, and short pixie coif that is reminiscent of James Deans greaser look at the 2011 Ides of March screening.
Solange Knowles
Solanges is still living in her big sister's shadow. Her long curls and conservative purple dress at a 2007 taping of MTVs TRL are more safe than superstar.
Solange Knowles
After a drastic cut in 2009, Solange is coming into her own style. She takes fashion risks with her bold colors, chunky jewelry, pastel lips and thick natural hair and brows at the Christian Louboutin book launch
Reese Witherspoon
Reese is glamorous at the 2001 Golden Globes. Her black pearls, golden ringlets and conservative dress enhance her youthful shine.
Reese Witherspoon
The high chignon is a testament to Reese's new big girl persona at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. However she isn't afraid to show a little skin with this one shoulder ensemble.
Jessica Biel
At the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, Jessicas color scheme is very bright from her turquoise eye shadow and earrings to the pink blush and lipstick. All topped off with blonde waves that appear by sun-dyed.
Jessica Biel
Jessica has darkened her mane and lightened her makeup palette creating a more professional and poised persona at the premiere of New Years Eve.
Michelle Williams
Michelle's chocolate short cut, black beads and trench at the 2004 National Board of Review Awards Gala are left over from darker days. This look is more frumpy than chic.
Michelle Williams
We love her pixie crop at the My Week with Marilyn screening. It allows us to admire her full rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP's hair is more frizz than fashionable at the 2000 SAG Awards. This look reminds us of the teasing and crimping of the '80s.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This long wavy hairstyle at the 2011 Brain Trauma Foundation Gala is more becoming for a woman of Sarah's stature. She is a knock-out with just a hint of lace to add sex appeal.
Julia Roberts
We loved Julia's flowing red mane that makes her eyes pop and her fair skin glisten at the American Cinematique Honors in 2007.
Julia Roberts
At the premiere of Fireflies in the Garden, Julia has brightened up her look with a blonde highlighted hue that is just as flattering as her previous red locks. She looks good in any hair color.
Kate Hudson
Whimsical is the best word to describe the fashion sense of Kate at the 2001 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Her oversized flower, waves, and sheer dress make it clear that she is the daughter of a hippie.
Kate Hudson
Kates golden attire matches her bright locks at the LACMA Art + Film Gala. Plus, motherhood has done wondrous things for the starlets cleavage.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwen is attempting to pull off a vampire chic look with her rusty red lip and dark fur. But we do think she pulls off her pixie cut with class at the 1997 premiere of Hard Eight.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gone are the dark days for Gwen. At the 2011 Emmy Awards she chose a dainty lace ensemble with straight blonde strands and a center part.
Kim Kardashian
We love Kims natural brows and makeup palette at the Dom Perignon and Karl Lagerfeld International Launch in 2006, but it is clear where she got her fame from her eye-catching cleavage.
Kim Kardashian
At the 2011 grand opening of the Kardashian Khaos store in Las Vegas, it is clear Kim is making more conservative fashion choices now that she is a businesswoman. Her use of both top and bottom falsies has become a signature makeup move.
Lady Gaga
Although we secretly love the rock-hard leotard. Using multiple blush colors at Perez Hilton's One Night in... 2008 was one of Gagas more eccentric makeup moves.
Lady Gaga
Mother Monster has toned down her flamboyant style for more classic glamour wearing red lipstick, flowing blonde curls, and a lengthy black dress with over-the-top shoulder pads at the 2011 International Emmy Awards.
Victoria Beckham
Posh Spice sports an awkward smile to match her equally stiff strands that have been electrified by a flat iron and hairspray at the 2001 Silver Chef Awards.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria has managed to maintain her super thin figure (even after four children). But she now exudes the elegance of a fashion icon that has been worthy of royal reception.
Charlize Theron
Charlizes pixie cut is becoming, but her thinning eyebrows, vampy lip color, and velvet blazer are more than frightening at the 1997 GQ Men of the Year Awards.
Charlize Theron
Seen at the premiere of her film Young Adult, Charlize has lightened up her style. Her natural makeup and bright attire complement her short blonde waves.
Emma Stone
Emma Stone unveiled her blonde bombshell remodel at the "Trevor LIVE" Benefit Gala in 2010. Even though we love the bangs, we arent too sure this hair color goes best with her freckles and quirky personality.
Emma Stone
At the 2011 Worldwide Orphans Foundation's Benefit Gala, our favorite redhead was back to her blazing mane that is brighter than ever.
Halle Berry
This sex symbol wasnt always so sensual. Halles caramel bob with sideswept bangs at the 1999 premiere of Life are anything but flattering.
Halle Berry
After a stint wearing her hair in her long natural curls, Halle is back to her signature pixie cut at the 2011 FiFi Awards. This hairstyle really allows her best features to shine.
Madonna
Madonna releases her inner teen with this crimped-crazed style complete with butterfly clips at the 1998 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards
Madonna
Seen at the screening of W.E. in New York, Madonna looks like the music icon that she has become with bouncing waves and a muted pink lip.
Kate Winslet
Kates fair skin pales in comparison to her long auburn curls, emerald dress and crimson lips at the 1998 Academy Awards red carpet.
Kate Winslet
Kate positively glows (could it be a spray tan) at the Carnage premiere in a red frock topped off with a sophisticated pompadour updo.
Cameron Diaz
Camerons cute crimps bring whimsy to an otherwise serious ensemble that includes a gold-flecked sweater and deep crimson lips at the 1997 premiere A Life Less Ordinary.
Cameron Diaz
This long straight hairdo makes Cameron appear to be a beach babe at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. Her rosy cheeks only complement a style that has only gotten younger with time.
Jessica Alba
Exposed bra straps and a cap are the highlight of Albas street casual red carpet look at the 2002 Teen Choice Awards.
Jessica Alba
Luckily, Alba has developed a more feminine style that allows her to flaunt her body in this lace dress at the Swarovski Elements holiday dinner. Also she is no longer hiding her full brows and brunette curls.
Fergie
As the only female member of the hip hop group Black Eyed Peas, Fergie wore pigtails and an adidas track suit while hanging with the boys at the 2004 Grammy Awards Nominations.
Fergie
Fergie still has that punk style with this leather and spike encrusted top worn at former bandmate apl.de.ap's birthday celebration, but shorter cut and glowing makeup highlight her more feminine side.
Khloe Kardashian
Matching electric blue eyeshadow to her spandex top was a freshman beauty move for Khloe Kardashian at the L.A. Direct Magazine Expansion Party in 2007.
Khloe Kardashian
We love Khloes ombre highlights and neutral makeup palette at the 2011 opening of the Kardashian Khaos store in Las Vegas that are more becoming of her socialite lifestyle.
Rachel Bilson
Rachel seems to have come straight from the gym to the 2003 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Issue party. Her style is girl-next-door, Stairmaster chic.
Rachel Bilson
At 2011 Fashion Night Out, Rachel middle part, headband and ombre highlights prove she has been spending more time in the boutiques honing her fashion sense.
Kate Moss
Kates soft curls at the 2004 Alexander McQueen fashion show contrast with her raccoon eye makeup in a way that is only acceptable for couture models.
Kate Moss
A fishnet dress, candy apple red lips and a straight blonde style at the 2011 British Fashion Awards are just an example of how Kate has kept on the edge of fashion as a modeling icon.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole's sleek strands set off her bright red dress and matching lip at the 2007 Academy Awards. Here her style is both classy and feminine.
Nicole Kidman
At the 2011 CMA Awards Nicole's style is much more relaxed. Her strawberry blonde waves and diamond choker fit right in with her new laid-back lifestyle.
Renée Zellweger
Renée’s old Hollywood curls and red lipstick does little to bring warmth to her fair skin tone at the 2001 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Renée Zellweger
At the 2010 CNN Heroes Awards, Renées shoulder-length bob better complements her heart-shaped face and her hot pink gown is a touch of color on her glowing skin.
Penelope Cruz
We do love Penelopes asymmetrical bob at this 2002 press conference for SABERA. The cut draws the eye to her strong facial features.
Penelope Cruz
Penelope continues to have a love for menswear in this blazer and button up combo. However her long hair balances out her masculine attire at the 2011 Rome Film Festival.
Angelina Jolie
At the 2000 Academy Awards Angelina opts for a goth red carpet look. Her long black tresses, black dress and winged eyeliner remind of us Morticia of the Addams Family.
Angelina Jolie
Angelina has lightened up her look significantly at the 2011 In the Land of Blood and Honey premiere. She is glowing in a single strap dress, long highlighted strands, and of course her full pink lips.
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johanssons fair-haired look does light our fancy. She exudes the sex appeal of a blonde bombshell at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.
Scarlett Johansson
After a brief stint as a redhead, ScarJo is back to a honey blonde hue at the premiere of We Bought a Zoo. Her retro updo and sweetheart neckline convey the confidence of a serious actress instead of a sex kitten.
Anne Hathaway
Anne looks like she is ready for a night at the Roxbury with her teased curls and stand out eye makeup at the 2004 Ten Fashion Show.
Anne Hathaway
At the 2011 The Iron Lady premiere, Anne has found a more poised style with her slicked back bun, turtleneck dress, and rose pink lip color.
Katherine Heigl
Katherine is overwhelmed by her long curls at a 2006 Grey's Anatomy cast party. Her choice of a rhinestone encrusted shirt is less than flattering to her curvy body type.
Katherine Heigl
At the New Year's Eve premiere, Katherine has chopped of her weighty locks and created a hair look that is sultry and voluminous.
Zoë Saldana
Zoë looks as if she arrived at the 2004 Movieline Young Hollywood Awards after a day at the beach. Her style is both casual and carefree.
Zoë Saldana
Zoë's straightened updo, smoky eyes and outfit with intricate designs at "Trevor LIVE" is proof that she has left the sun and sand behind for high fashion,
Sandra Bullock
Sandra looks like another mother in the neighborhood carpool with her lackluster brunette hair and wrinkled blouse at the Miss Congeniality press conference.
Sandra Bullock
At the premiere of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Sandras ombre hairstyle, blazer with sever shoulder pads, and deep lipcolor exhibit her transition from sweet to serious.
Winona Ryder
Winona's boyish cut complements her light-hearted personality and casual style. But she still carries an air of femininity at a 1993 concert.
Winona Ryder
At the Dilemma premiere, Winona has grown out her brunette hair into beautiful curls. However she still keeps her makeup palette light and natural.
