Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway has certainly come a long way since her early days as a frumpy, bushy-browed teenager in ‘The Princess Diaries’. Much like she did in the movie, Anne Hathaway has managed to transform from ugly to stunning, to absolutely atrocious-looking.
In one year, she went from the gorgeous Catwoman in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, to the gaunt and lifeless Fantine in ‘Les Misérables’. Now, that’s commitment!
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow made her debut back in 1989, when she acted in ‘High’, a TV movie directed by her father. Since then, she has starred in a number of films, in which she has kept more or less the same appearance. Except for when she played Rosemary in ‘Shallow Hal’, of course.
Playing an extremely overweight woman, and Jack Black’s love interest in the film, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a fat suit and had a lot of makeup magic done. This Goop leading lady looked anything but healthy, and she was absolutely unrecognizable. Thankfully, everything went back to normal when production ended.
Tina Fey
Legendary comedienne Tina Fey is known for putting wit and brains before beauty, and she actually enjoys looking absolutely ridiculous on screen.
In her show, '30 Rock', Liz Lemon isn't exactly what you'd call sexy and feminine, but in real life, Tina Fey certainly knows how to clean up well and look absolutely gorgeous and elegant. Fans adore her, whatever she chooses to look like.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens really shocked audiences when she played Apple, a troubled teen dealing with an addicted mother and foster care, in the 2013 drama, 'Gimme Shelter'. Hudgens, the sweet, cute-looking girl from Disney's 'High School Musical', had suddenly transformed into gritty looking teen that was struggling to keep it together.
Hudgens really outdid herself with the role, and certainly managed to make us forget for the duration of the movie that she is actually gorgeous in real life!
Hillary Swank
For her role as Maggie Fitzgerald in ‘Million Dollar Baby’, Hillary Swank completely transformed herself. In just 90 days, Swank became a muscly boxer that looked quite masculine. The actress said it was one of the hardest things she’s ever done.
She added 20 pounds of pure muscle after a strict diet of 210 grams of protein and a five-hour workout every day. The actress took home her second Academy Award for Best Actress.
