When it comes to transformations, celebrities have become pros. Many have been known to go to great lengths to portray their parts effectively, choosing to alter the way they look, while some decided to reinvent themselves following a health scare. Others, meanwhile, have decided to go under the knife to feel confident about themselves.

Like ordinary people, stars have also undergone massive changes while in the limelight, but because they’re prominent personalities, fans have made sure to notice these tweaks in appearances. Let’s look at some of the most drastic celebrity transformations and see whether they made the right decision or not:

Nicole Kidman – Age 54

Movie buffs know Nicole Kidman from iconic films like Moulin Rouge!, Rabbit Hole, and The Hours while TV enthusiasts may recognize her from her recent projects like The Undoing and Big Little Lies. As one of the most successful Australian stars who broke into Hollywood, she has amassed legions of fans, who may have noticed how she transformed while in the spotlight.

Kidman has ditched the wild hairstyle and has maintained her long, blond locks. These days, however, you may not instantly recognize her because she is sporting a pixie cut for her newest show titled Roar.

John Travolta – Age 67

In the legendary musical film Grease, John Travolta played the lead Danny Zuko. However, he no longer sports the same hairdo these days after fully embracing his bald look in 2019. While the transformation shocked some supporters, others had long suspected that he was wearing a wig to hide his shiny head.

Nonetheless, the 67-year-old star, who will next star in Paradise City, was aware of the buzz surrounding his mane but maintained that he feels great about how he looks. Travolta also hops in the jokes about his appearance, including when he was likened to rapper Pitbull.

Abby Lee Miller – Age 55

Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller has had tough past years because she went behind bars, but she has also undergone many transformations in terms of physical appearance. Before her prison stint, she had gastric sleeve surgery to kickstart her weight loss journey.

While serving her eight-month sentence, Miller had shed over 120 pounds, but the joy was short-lived because, by the time she got out, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In 2020, the choreographer revealed that she was cancer-free and had undergone a facelift that she said was necessary.

Cher – Age 75

Known as the Goddess of Pop, Cher has managed to stay youthful-looking even at 75. Fans have seen her in movies like Burlesque, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, and Mask, but she’s probably best known for playing Loretta in the classic ‘80s film Moonstruck, for which she won an Academy Award.

Being a thespian, she’s one to experiment on her looks, although she did so subtly. Cher no longer sports the same frocks and has since tried going blond, but these days, she is more remembered for her curls. The 75-year-old remains active on the scene and recently rallied behind her co-artist, Britney Spears, in her conservatorship battle.

Joan Collins – Age 88

There’s no stopping Joan Collins from taking the entertainment industry by storm despite nearing her 90s. It’s quite shocking that she still looks radiant and arguably youthful for her age, which is a far cry from her contemporaries. Of late, the Dynasty actress was spotted attending a charity ball with her significantly younger husband, looking gorgeous in her tight-fitting red attire.

Collins seems ageless that the team from the feature, Gerry, had to use prosthetics to look old for a part. Because of her radiant glow, many people speculated she went under the knife, but she has denied undergoing plastic surgery to maintain her appearance.
