By now, most people are used to seeing celebrities undergo dramatic transformations — whether it’s due to cosmetic procedures, style rebrands, or something else. And while many celebs have talked openly about getting — and, sometimes, later regretting — their cosmetic work, others have remained quiet amid speculation around their so-called changing appearances.Here’s a roundup of famous faces who many fans feel have changed pretty drastically in recent years:1. Most recently, photos of Taylor Swift during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show went viral, with several fans speculating that she may have had some sort of cosmetic work done. While the singer hasn’t publicly talked about getting any cosmetic work done, loads of fans admitted that they hardly recognized her in the TV segment, with one person writing, “She doesn’t quite look like herself,” and another adding, “Woah, she looks different.” Here’s a photo of Taylor in 2021:

2. Earlier this year, Kris Jenner’s “new face” went mega viral online, with fans joking that she’d “reversed the clock 30 years.” Here’s a pic of Kris at the 2024 Met Gala, seemingly before the surgery:

After Kris’s new appearance went viral, she detailed the work she’d had done during a chat with Vogue Arabia. “I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh. I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy. Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything. But for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version.”

3. Back in 2021, numerous internet users speculated that Zac Efron had undergone cosmetic surgery after seeing his appearance in Bill Nye’s Earth Day special:

A year and a half later, Zac explained that he’d had a severe accident in 2013 that left his chin bone “hanging off” his face and his jaw shattered. As a result, Zac said that his other facial muscles had to “compensate” and got “really, really big.” Here’s a photo of Zac back in 2019:

4. Khloé Kardashian has gone viral time and again for her different looks over the years. A few months ago, she publicly shared a list of cosmetic procedures she’s had done, including a nose job, laser hair removal on her hairline, “botox and sculptra,” “soft wave laser for skin tightening,” and more. Khloé also pointed out that she’s “lost 80 pounds over the years” and noted that while she’s had filler in the past, she hasn’t had any recently. Here’s a photo of Khloé a few years ago:

5. Kylie Jenner is another celebrity who has received a lot of attention for her appearance. A few years ago, she was accused of “Blackfishing” — aka altering herself to appear darker than she actually is — and was known for her prominent facial fillers:

During an episode of The Kardashians that was filmed in 2023, Kylie noted that she’d dissolved “half” of her lip filler. She now tends to adopt more “natural” glam looks, as you can see here:

6. Like Kylie, Ariana Grande has been accused of Blackfishing in the past. She’s also talked openly about previously getting fillers and Botox, which she decided to stop in 2018. “Full transparency: had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox. I stopped in 2018 ’cause I just felt so — too much. I just felt like hiding, you know? I didn’t expect to get emotional,” she shared in 2023. “For a long time, beauty was about hiding for me, now I feel like maybe it’s not. I wanna see my… cry lines and smile lines. I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more. I just think aging can be such a beautiful thing.”

8. For years, Jonah Hill has talked openly about transforming his body for movies since his first leading role in the 2007 comedy Superbad. Here he is, a few years ago, at a red carpet event:

More recently, Jonah has kept a low profile, and internet users were recently taken aback by his appearance on the set of his upcoming movie, Cut Off:

9. While Kelly Osbourne has repeatedly denied rumors that she’s had plastic surgery, she has recently talked about using Ozempic for weight loss. She told E! News last year, “There are a million ways to lose weight — why not do it through something that isn’t as boring as working out?” she said, adding: “People hate on it because they want to do it. And the people who hate on it the most are the people who are secretly doing it, or pissed off that they can’t afford it. Unfortunately, right now it’s something that is very expensive, but it eventually won’t be because it actually works.”

Earlier this year, photos of Kelly went viral as fans admitted they couldn’t recognize her at all:

10. This month, Emma Stone went viral after fans said she looked super different at Paris Fashion Week. While Emma hasn’t publicly said she’s gotten any work done, loads of people speculated that she’d had some sort of cosmetic procedure done. Here she is in 2021:

Reacting to Emma’s “new look,” one fan admitted that they thought the PFW photo was AI-generated, while another quipped, “she looks like a yasified version of herself.”

11. Over the years, Meg Ryan has faced heaps of discourse around her looks. In 2016, people said she looked “dramatically different” at the Tony Awards, and in 2023, fans questioned if she’d undergone plastic surgery after she attended a public screening. This is an old photo of Meg in 2005:

Meg eventually addressed all the discourse around her appearance, telling Glamour magazine in 2023, “I can’t pay attention to it. I just can’t. It’s not worth it. Of course that would hurt someone’s feelings, but there are so many more interesting things to think about. Meanness and hatred are just so stupid.” This is Meg now:

12. Last year, several people — including an aesthetic doctor — speculated that Lindsay Lohan had gotten a facelift after photos of her went viral online. A few months ago, Lindsay addressed all the chatter around her appearance, with her publicist telling Elle magazine, “The problem is…the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It’s so mean.” Lindsay agreed, replying, “I’m like, when? With what time? Where?”

At another point during the interview, Lindsay opened up in detail about her extensive skincare routine. “My skin care is very specific. I’m trying out some serums now that I’m doing — I’m testing them. Also, I’m a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I’m into lasers,” she shared.

13. Courteney Cox has been incredibly candid about her changing appearance over the years, notably admitting to overusing facial fillers. She shared in 2022, “There was a time when you go, ‘Oh, I’m changing. I’m looking older.’ And I tried to chase that [youthfulness] for years…And I didn’t realize that, oh shit, I’m actually looking really strange with injections and doing stuff to my face that I would never do now.”

The following year, Courteney opened up further about how she “messed up a lot.” “It’s a domino effect. You don’t realize that you look a little off, so then you keep doing more cause you look normal to yourself,” she said. “You look in the mirror and go, ‘Oh, that looks good,’ you think, and you don’t realize what it looks like to the outside person.”

14. Over the years, Chrissy Teigen has repeatedly addressed the discourse surrounding her “new face.” In 2021, she revealed that she’d undergone a cosmetic surgical procedure to have fat removed from her cheeks, and years prior, she said in an interview, “I’m not shy talking about that sort of thing. I have no regrets.”

15. In recent years, Blac Chyna — real name Angela White — has dissolved all of her facial fillers and gotten rid of her breast implants and butt injections. “Enough is enough. It all has to come out,” she said in 2023. “Back to the baseline. Honestly, I’m just tired of the look, and it’s just not flattering, it’s not what I look like. It totally changed my face.”

Adriana actually responded to all the speculation around her appearance by sharing a makeup-free selfie and writing, “The face of a tired mom of one teenage girl, two pre-teens, one active boy, a 1-year-old learning to walk, and three dogs…thanks for your concern.” This is what she looks like now:

17. And finally, Pete Davidson recently underwent a major transformation after getting more than 200 of his tattoos removed. He reportedly initiated the removal process back in 2020, and this year, he has started sharing glimpses of his ink-free skin. This was Pete back in 2019:
