19 Celebrity Style Transformations That Will Blow Your Mind

We take a look at how Lil Kim, Calvin Harris, Chris Brown and more huge artists styles have evolved over the years...

  1. Missy Elliott

    1. Missy Elliott

    Missy Elliott has transformed her look after cutting out bread & drinking water for four months. She captioned a new picture of herself: Proud to say it's been four months I have only drank water, no other juices or soda, I cut out bread & Lord knows that's been the hardest for me! See I've NEVER been a water drinker but this have helped my skin, it really restore glow back & I don't feel sluggish. NOW the other thing if I can only cut out JUNK FOOD" Picture: Getty/Instagram

  2. Skepta Style Tranformation

    2. Skepta

    Grime MC Skepta has always been fashion conscious and has even made GQ's prestigious best-dressed list in the past. Over the years Skepta has favoured sportswear-inspired outfits including tracksuits, man-bags and hats. Picture: Getty

  3. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    3. Calvin Harris

    From bedroom DJ to Armani model, few people have gone through more of a re-styling than superstar DJ Calvin. The days of the mop hair and bad blazer/tshirt combos are long gone, replaced by proper threads that we reckon fits that new gym-honed physique pretty well.

  4. Kylie Jenner Style Transformation

    4. Kylie Jenner

    Kylie Jenner has undergone a huge style transformation since she rose to fame over recent years. The reality star has evolved from more conservative looks to glamorous outfits - and frequently changes the colour of her hair! Picture: Getty

  5. Craig David

    5. Craig David

    Since first dropping hits such as '7 Days' and 'Fill Me In' in 2000, Craig David has completely transformed his style! The UK singer swapped his turtlenecks and chains for more subtle outfits.

  6. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    6. Ariana Grande

    As Ariana Grande has gone from Disney princess to pop sensation, her look has gone from school-girl to musical diva. However much she grows up, she still manages to pull off that super-cute, innocent look.

  7. Big Sean Style Transformation

    7. Big Sean

    Big Sean has come a long way since he first signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label back in 2007. The Detroit rapper, who is very fashion-conscious, now favours a mature look over his previous 'preppy' outfits. Picture: Getty

  8. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    8. Kim Kardashian

    Kim K has flaunted some incredible outfits over the years, and some absolute shockers too! But let's face it, Kim knows what she's doing and manages to pull just about everything off. That's what Kanye would tell you anyway!

  9. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    9. Jennifer Hudson

    If we forgive her some of those outfits during the American Idol days, J-Hud has always done a great job of keeping it classy and looking great at the same time.

  10. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    10. Rihanna

    Since she was thrown into the spotlight a decade ago now, Rihanna has gone through many style transformations. It's fair to say that unlike teenage Rih Rih, Bad Gal Rih Rih doesn't restrict herself to playing it safe. From sport-chic to red carpet glam, she manages to always put her own stamp on it.

  11. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    11. Kanye West

    Mr West, we think it's fair to say, has gone through some pretty big style changes over the years. From the rugby tops and LV backpack in the 'Dropout' era, our personal favourite - the 'professor chic' look - to the moody threads we see him in these days, you never quite know what you're going to get with Ye'. Just how we like him.

  12. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    12. Justin Timberlake

    Gone are the days of the hair that closely resembled a packet of dried noodles. JT is a worldwide style symbol, always looking cool as whether he's going casual or donning a suit and tie.

  13. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    13. Amber Rose

    Amber has always been bold and not afraid to show off her amazing curves - remember the VMA chain dress anyone?

  14. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    14. Beyoncé

    Not even the most influential female singer of her generation skipped out on a few questionable outfits back in the day, but when you have a voice like that, we're pretty sure she can do what she likes. Bey run the world, be okay with it.

  15. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    15. Nicki Minaj

    Pink. Green. Purple. Blue. Luminous yellow. And that was just the hair. While back in the day 'trashy' was on the tip of stylists tongues, Nicki has really upped her game over the last 12 months. Classy is the word we can use to describe her look of late - chic, fitted outfits that show off that amazing bod of hers.

  16. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    16. Eminem

    Back in the day, everything was big. Like, really big. And baggy. And bleached blonde. Nowadays, Em rocks the leather jacket actually really well, a look he adopted a couple of years ago. We can't decide which Marshall we prefer more.

  17. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    17. Chris Brown

    Whether he's dossing around town in a tshirt and tracksuit trousers or attending award ceremonies, one thing Breezy does well is look GOOD. And we mean proper good. We can just about forgive some of his footwear choices, just don't do it again, Chris. Deal?

  18. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    18. Alicia Keys

    There's one thing for sure: Alicia Keys is hot. She's gone through her fair share of style changes over the years, but one thing she has (almost) always done is kept some real class about her look. In case you couldn't tell, we're a bit of a fan.

  19. Celebrity Style Tramsformations

    19. Pharrell

    If we put that massive fur hat from 2006 down as an off day, there's one thing Pharrell does well, and that is look illegally cool. Yes, some of his outfits are pretty out there, but no-one else comes close to pulling it off, that massive Vivienne Weswood hat included.
