Most Iconic Ugly Duckling Transformations in Movies
2. She’s All That (1999)
Can a popular high schooler turn even the most hopeless girl into a prom queen? Well, a bet is a bet, and Zack’s target is a socially awkward girl named Laney Boggs. After a captivating makeover scene, Zack comes to the realization that Laney might be the one, as she slowly descends the stairs. Then, of course, she nearly falls on her face. The whole movie is full of iconic, quintessential 90s rom-com moments like that.
3. Pretty Woman (1990)
Does it seem plausible that Pretty Woman was attempting to convey the notion that Julia Roberts has an unattractive variation? To be fair, they did a pretty bang-up job with the wig and the skanky outfit, so she definitely doesn’t look her best.
4. The Princess Diaries (2001)
Anne Hathaway is known for drastically changing her appearance in the movies. In The Princess Diary, for example, she starts out as a geeky teenager named Mia who suddenly learns she is actually a princess of Genovia. After going through “princess lessons” and a glamorous makeover, we finally see her real, unblemished beauty.
