Most Iconic Ugly Duckling Transformations in Movies

It is always interesting to look at the stunning actresses from the other side: without the usual makeup, luxurious hairstyles, and incredibly gorgeous dresses and accessories that make them shine at red carpet events. Of course, makeup artists and stylists deliberately make actresses “unattractive” in movies about “ugly ducklings.” However, such manipulations always end with their amazing transformations.

1. Never Been Kissed (1999)

High school years are a very polarizing experience. Some love it; others hate it, but none of us feel like going through it ever again. Unfortunately, sometimes your boss sends you on a covert mission to a high school. That’s pretty much the premise of Never Been Kissed: a reporter named Josie, who had her fair share of struggles going through high school her first time, has to blend in with the teens by donning her old geek persona with a bad perm. As the story unfolds, Josie, once deemed ugly, gains confidence and even wins the title of Prom Queen, marking the culmination of her transformation.
