Some have only gotten better over the years, while others are painful to look at: we take a look at 15 celebrities who have radically changed their appearance since their youth.
Alena Vodonaeva 34 years old
The model, TV presenter and businesswoman posted a photo of herself as a 16-year-old on Instagram. On the one hand, she proved that her luxurious forms are a gift from nature, and not from plastic surgeons. On the other hand, it became obvious how easy it is to turn into a caricature under tons of makeup.
Evelina Khromchenko 45 years old
When “pre-glamorous” photographs of young Evelina appear somewhere, the public is lost: the diametrical difference between “then” and “now” makes one think of plastic surgery.
But the fashion expert herself dismisses speculation. “Here I am 17 years old, I am a student of the journalism department of Moscow State University, I am already getting rid of “wet chemistry”, but I still don’t know that one day social networks will appear, and there will be trolls there who will suspect me of having a nose job,” she signed in Instagram photo on the left.
Taisiya Povaliy 51 years old
The People's Artist of Ukraine and Ingushetia looks simply luxurious at her age. If anyone doubted that such an effect could not be achieved without surgery, then a photo of her 20 years ago with her producer husband Igor Likhuta proved that only fashion and style have changed since then.
Tina Kandelaki 41 years old
In November, the birthday TV star posted this retro photo on Instagram with the caption: “It seems to me that I haven’t changed at all over the years. The upcoming 41st is no worse than the 19th, on the eve of which we gathered on this balcony.”

She has repeatedly emphasized that her appearance is not her main trump card: “I am an absolute average Caucasian woman. But the ability to turn my shortcomings into advantages, apparently, helped me dramatically change my image at 30 years old. I have never been beautiful - I have always been interesting as a person.”
However, in Lately The “interesting personality” was clearly carried away by “decorating the façade.” In particular, everyone noticed that she now has different lips; some suspect that she has corrected other areas of her face. As a result, according to critics, she lost her individuality and “became like everyone else.”
Laysan Utyasheva 31 years old
At times, the Russian world champion in rhythmic gymnastics is strangely unlike her former self. Some are convinced that she resorted to surgery - otherwise they cannot explain, for example, the changed shape of the eyelids. Others argue that this is achieved through skillful makeup.
Laysan herself treats her appearance and conversations about it with a healthy dose of irony. In July, she shared this photo on Instagram from 2008, when she said she "decided to never exercise or eat too much again." “This photo proves the fact that I am more than prone to being overweight and obese... But they say that here I look like a person.”
Anna Sedokova turns 34 in December
The Ukrainian singer from the golden trio “VIA Gra” is an undoubted beauty from birth, as evidenced by her teenage photo (left). However, at her still young age, she often ends up on lists of stars who look older than their years. In her case, due to excessive makeup.
However, some are confused by the photo of 21-year-old Sedokova at her first wedding with football player Valentin Belkevich. Since then, she seems to have become different - or is this really the effect of makeup?
Fedor Bondarchuk 49 years old
When actress Alika Smekhova posted on Instagram a photo of 25-year-old Bondarchuk, still wearing his hair, incredulous comments followed: “Nooooo, that’s not Fedor.” But it’s worth comparing with the current portrait to understand: there could be no mistake.
By the way, the director now looks much more impressive - it’s time to shorten his last name to a clear and concise one: Bond.

Olga Buzova 30 years old
The star of “House 2” recently radically changed her image, dyeing her hair from the usual blonde to a burning brunette, which indirectly confirmed to millions of her fans on social networks the collapse of a popular family idyll with football player Dmitry Tarasov.
Before that, she did not change her blonde, experimenting only with hairstyles. And yet sometimes it seems that it is not one, but several different women.

Sergey Zhukov 40 years old
Lead singer of the group “Hands Up!” willingly publishes photographs where he is young and slender, without fear that comparison with the past will not be in his favor.
Because in the present he has a “treasure” - his beautiful wife, former lead singer of the group “Slivki” Regina Burd. Sergei’s caption to the photo: “They say that every year a husband and wife are more and more alike... It’s a pity that I will never be as beautiful as my treasure.” But readers thought the couple was good and there were definitely similarities.
Time, ah, time...
Time does not spare not only ordinary mortals, but also the rich and famous - they also grow old and turn from charming girls into elderly ladies. And yet there are no fewer fans of their talent. After all, it’s not so important how old an actress is, what matters is what kind of fire burns in her soul and in her eyes.

Time changes everyone. Even those celebrities who can afford expensive cosmetic procedures, turn out to be powerless against the inexorable years. Others, on the contrary, look better in their mature years than in their youth. Let's see what the stars were like - in their youth and now.
Tom Cruise
Golden Globe winner Tom Cruise is an example of how imperfect Hollywood stars can look in their youth.
Now Cruise, thanks to the skillful work of a stylist and dentist, has firmly established himself in the ranking of world sex symbols.
Nicole Kidman
Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman has also changed a lot.
Surprisingly, she seems even younger now. The secret lies in competent facial plastic surgery.
Mickey Rourke
But Mickey Rourke, on the contrary, was too carried away by visits to surgeons.
Now the actor's appearance is a disappointing and shocking contrast compared to how the stars look in their youth and now.
Natalia Ionova
Let's see how we remember Russian stars in their youth and now.
Russian celebrities are no worse. An example of this is the singer Glucose. It seems that the signs of aging have passed her by.
Victoria Bonya
And here is the path of transformation that showwoman Victoria Bonya went through.
The star began extensive external transformation in 2012. Now on to fresh selfies socialite and the model can barely discern her former features.
Olga Buzova
Another ex-ward of “House-2” Olga Buzova can also be called the personification of how different stars look in their youth and now.
From a girl with a provincial appearance, the TV presenter turned into the queen of Instagram.
Ivan Urgant
Steven Tyler
The permanent frontman of the legendary band Aerosmith has not changed dramatically over the years.
It's no wonder that stars love to post their rare photos, because they immediately attract the attention of their fans and subscribers.
We present to your attention the rarest photos Russian stars in young age. Some of them have changed so much that they are simply unrecognizable!
Russian stars in their youth, photo:
Lyubov Uspenskaya
Lyubov Uspenskaya, judging by the photographs, lives life to the fullest. She regularly attends social events, travels, and visits plastic surgeons.
And this rare photo takes us back to 1996, and it was taken during a tour in Krasnoyarsk.
And this is in 2000. Uspenskaya herself says that “it was as if it were like yesterday.”
The most devoted fans claim that the singer has not changed at all over the past 20 years. Well, you can bet...
Alena Vodonaeva
The media have repeatedly published rare photographs of the star, in which she is still an ordinary girl, and few people know about her. Then, to put it mildly, Alena was not so bright and glamorous.
Now Alena has a lot of fans, including many fans who highlight her style, but few people remember that Alena used to dress very extravagantly. On it you could see completely incompatible things.
In addition, Vodonaeva loved strange hairstyles.
She loved all kinds of “explosion at a pasta factory” braids and ponytails.
It's hard to say that it's all Alena. Ardent fans assure that it is not her.
Polina Gagarina
True fans of Gagarina remember her delicious plumpness. Indeed, at the beginning of her career she weighed up to 80 kilograms.
But not everyone knows that during her university years the singer was a fragile young lady with glasses, and these rare photos of the star are proof of that!
“10 years ago... Moscow Art Theater School-Studio. First year,” she captioned Gagarin’s photo.
Even earlier, Gagarina posted this rare photo, where she shows off her student card, received at the Moscow Art Theater.
Christmas tree
Elka's real name is Elizaveta Ivantsiv, and she quite rarely posts photos of herself from her youth. One day she made an exception and posted a photo where the future singer was 16 years old.
Fans agreed that the star was beautiful in her youth, and became even more beautiful over the years.
Kristina Orbakaite
Kristina Orbakaite often posts rare photos of her youth. In them she is quite recognizable and looks very happy. In this photo, Pugacheva's daughter is shown with Elton John. Here Christina is only 19 years old.
The photo received a lot of comments, and many subscribers shared that this was the best photo of Christina from her youth.
Irina Allegrova
At the height of her career, Irina Allegrova dressed very extravagantly. AND we're talking about not about leather corsets or extremely fluffy dresses.
Only ardent fans can recognize her in these rare photos of the star. Then the singer was a member of the rock group “Electroclub”. She was a devoted fan of denim miniskirts.
What do you think of the “young” stars?
