Who’s That? Ariana Grande and Lindsay Lohan Lead the Way of Biggest Celebrity Transformations of 2024
Ariana Grande
For years, Ariana Grande has dealt with body-shamers who frequently commented on her appearance.
In November, fans expressed concern as the Wicked actress looked “much gaunter” and “very fragile” as she debuted her drastic transformation.
Speaking about the criticism, Grande said she has frequently faced disapproval throughout her career.
“I’ve been doing this in front of the public and been a specimen in a Petri dish really since I was 16 or 17. I have heard it all. I’ve heard every version of it,” she told content creator Crazy Sally in a joint interview with Cynthia Erivo.
“You’re young and you’re hearing all kinds of things.”
The 31-year-old songstress added: “It’s hard to protect yourself from that noise. It’s something that is uncomfortable no matter what scale you’re experiencing it on, even if you go to Thanksgiving dinner and someone’s granny says, ‘Oh my god you look skinnier, what happened?’ or, ‘You look heavier what happened?'”
Despite the scrutiny, she has reportedly learned to heal, thanks to her support system.
Blac Chyna
Blac Chyna surprised her fans with a massive transformation, accentuating her natural physique after undergoing major plastic surgery to “tone down” her look and reverse her past operations.
She also lost weight and developed muscles while healing from the procedures, which included breasts implants removal, butt reduction, and facial fillers dissolution.
Christina Aguilera
Speaking with Glamour for the magazine’s August cover story, Christina Aguilera reflected on her dramatic transformation after losing weight over the years.
She said: “I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f— about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on. It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”
Daniel Day-Lewis
Seven years after Daniel Day-Lewis announced his retirement, the Lincoln actor was spotted on the set of Ronan Day-Lewis-directed film Anemone in October. At the time, the Oscar-winning actor looked unrecognizable as he prepared for a motorbike ride, including rocking a grey handlebar mustache.
Justin Bieber
Before Hailey Bieber gave birth to their first child, Justin Bieber debuted a new look during an outing in Los Angeles. Deviating from his usual clean-shaven appearance, the Baby hitmaker, 30, grew a scruffy facial hair that made him look more mature.
