“Looks totally different!” one fan wrote.
The star appeared on her Instagram stories this week.
She was there to address the rumors about her ever changing appearance.
During which she apparently admitted what she’d had done.
However, viewers were much more interested in her looks than what she was saying.
But before we dive deep into that, let’s take a look at some of the world’s most beloved stars’ transformations…
1990: Michelle Pfeiffer…
She was 32.
Michelle Pfeiffer was one of the most prolific actresses at the time.
And it’s not surprising she was recognized for her beauty.

1991: Julia Roberts…
She was 24.
Now, Roberts is a Hollywood icon, known for playing a range of different roles over the years.
But her leading roles in some of our favorite romantic comedies all took place in the ’90s.
So it’s easy to see why she got the “most beautiful person” of 1991.
Pretty Woman (1990) is still a classic…
It grossed a whopping $464 million worldwide.
She went on to star in dozens of successful movies after that…
Including Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999), and Runaway Bride (1999), need we say more?

Her breakthrough came with Scorsese’s psychological thriller Taxi Driver (1976).

And her fame carried on growing.
One of her best performances is arguably in the psychological horror The Silence of the Lambs (1991), for which she won an academy award.
1993: Cindy Crawford…
She was 27.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Crawford was one of the most popular supermodels.
She featured in a vast majority of magazine covers, appeared on runways, and in countless fashion adverts.
After making a name for herself in the fashion industry, she branched out into acting.
She appeared in multiple Pepsi commercials but got her first acting role as the female lead in the movie Fair Game.
Although it wasn’t exactly a success.
In 2000 Crawford quit modeling full-time, and only appears in high fashion magazines every now and then.
She also has a range of business ventures, from cosmetics to her own furniture line.
She made her acting debut in 1981, with the drama Rich and Famous.

Cruise is one of the world’s highest-paid actors, and considering just how many Mission Impossible movies there are, it’s not surprising.
He started out his acting career in the early 1980s…
Featuring in the comedy Risky Business (1983) and the hit action movie Top Gun (1986), he later reprised his role for the latter.
