We’re all pretty used to a makeover. There are countless movies where a mousy-looking girl who usually wears something like overalls dons a little black dress, someone does her makeup and hair, replaces glasses with contact lenses and voila she’s a beauty. It’s largely the same with celebs. Especially if you compare their childhood photos with photos of them at the peak of their popularity. But makeunders—that’s a whole different story. It’s quite a recent trend, and it basically revolves around going from a loud and flashy look to something a lot more toned down, refined, and softer looking. Let’s take a look at some celebrities who have had a makeunder, you’ll be surprised how dramatic these can be.

1. Pamela Anderson

Pamela Anderson has built her whole career on being the bombshell. Tight bodycon outfits, big hair, lots of smoky eyeshadow, fake lashes, juicylipstick—the whole shebang. But these days she’s reinvented herself, and we see her in flowy, almost modest dresses and almost barefaced at events. When she does makeup, it’s a barely there natural look. She says it’s a form of self-acceptance and being comfortable with herself. In all honesty, after years of seemingly catering to the male gaze, Pamela’s appearance has improved significantly. She looks great.

2. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus has gone through quite a few transformations throughout her career, but going from her Bangerz era to Malibu felt like the most obvious one. She went from being obviously rebellious and as loud in your face as possible to being soft, feminine, and natural. Was it deliberate or just a natural progression? It’s hard to tell. But it’s a makeunder we all noticed.

3. Blac Chyna

Blac Chyna is a model, social media and television personality, and you probably know her because she had her own Kardashian-adjacent reality TV show called “Rob & Chyna” and later on “The Real Blac Chyna.” She used to dress very similarly to early-years Nicki Minaj, think bright colours and colorful makeup. But around the time she started hanging out with the Kardashians she went through a style overhaul and started wearing more neutrals, wearing her hair all natural and looking a lot more toned down and sleek. She also took out her cheek piercings and recently dissolved her fillers for a more natural look. She also recently started going by her actual name, Angela White, instead of her pseudonym, Blac Chyna.
