13 Most Fashionable Movie Makeovers

Makeovers have become somewhat of a staple in romantic comedies — audiences go wild when the dorky girl reveals that she has been a bombshell in disguise all along. The best fashionable transformations will wow us to the point where we can't even believe the before and after shots are of the same actor.

The Princess Diaries

Mia Thermopolis gets the royal treatment when it comes to her makeover, and it proves to be quite the struggle as her thick, frizzy hair even breaks her stylist’s hairbrush. But after some makeup, contact lenses, and serious hair straightening, the schoolgirl finally looks like the beautiful princess she is.

Miss Congeniality

Gracie Hart didn’t just get a friend to help her with her makeover from a tomboy FBI agent into a beauty queen contestant — she had a specialized team. With such experienced attention, it’s no wonder that Hart looked seriously stunning competing for the Miss United States title.

The Breakfast Club

At the beginning of “The Breakfast Club,” Allison Reynolds was the quirky outcast that no one understood who hid beneath her massive puffy coat. But after some help from popular Claire, Allison became the epitome of cute, and even won the affection of the jock Andy.

Clueless

Tai’s pre-makeover look is one of the inspirations for this 90s classic’s title. Clad in a men’s flannel shirt and unkempt hair, Tai attracts fashionista Cher’s penchant for makeovers. With some fitted sweaters and plaid skirts, Tai turns into a stylish schoolgirl worthy of her popularity.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Toula had no fashion sense to speak of at the beginning of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” but decided to turn her life around after running into Ian, the man of her dreams. After an impressive D.I.Y. makeover, the Greek woman was practically unrecognizable as a chic bride on her wedding day.

The Devil Wears Prada

Frumpy journalist Andy Sachs received what is probably the most high-end makeover in movie history thanks to her access to a Vogue-like fashion closet. Whether noticing her good looks and newfound confidence or lusting after her amazing clothes, all eyes were on Andy after her transformation.

Grease

Sandy Olson favored sweet sundresses and preppy sweater throughout “Grease,” which made it difficult for Danny to justify his affections for her to his leather-clad friends. In the end, Sandy shocks everyone by ditching her good girl look and opting for an all-black leather outfit that still defines biker girl chic.

She’s All That

Laney Boggs made teen movie history when she shed her overalls and glasses and put on a slinky black dress. More than just Freddie Prinze Jr.’s jaw dropped after the ex-art freak’s sexy makeover.

Pretty Woman

Vivian Ward started “Pretty Woman” as a prostitute with a questionable fashion sense. After wealthy businessman Edward Lewis falls in love with her, he makes her over into a class act in a beautifully fitted red dress.

My Fair Lady

Dirty, foul-mouth street vendor Eliza Doolittle seemed completely hopeless in terms of both sophistication as well as style — or at least that’s what we’d say if she wasn’t played by Audrey Hepburn. Of course Eliza is transformed into a breathtaking beauty clad in a fitted white gown and a huge hat.

The Hunger Games

In her bland District 12 clothing, Katniss Everdeen blends in with everyone else in her community. After becoming the muse for Capitol stylist Cinna, however, she is the center of everyone’s attention in a gorgeous red gown with some impressive pyrotechnics.

Never Been Kissed

Josie is a geeky newspaper copy editor who has to go back to high school for a story, causing her to relive her past as a teenaged social reject. However, she eventually overcomes her traumatic memories and finally comes into her own signature style.

Cinderella

No movie makeover has ever been more magical than Cinderella’s — the original fashionable transformation! With only a little help from her fairy godmother (okay, a ton of help), Cinderella went from dingy work clothes to a sparkling ball gown fit for a princess.
