Regardless of the reason behind the transformation, the results can often be striking and have a lasting impact on their fans and the entertainment industry as a whole.

However, not all reactions to celebrity transformations are positive. Some fans can be critical of the choices celebrities make, while others may view certain changes as signs of vanity or a lack of authenticity. Regardless of the opinions, it's important to remember that each celebrity's journey is unique and should be respected.

I think the biggest change here is the sadness that can clearly be seen in her eyes and the fake smile. Poor woman

On the left is a smile. Probably before her imprisonment and mental abuse. On the right is forcing her lips to form something that resembles a smile. On the left, there is a light in her eyes and they shine. On the right there is no light at all. Kind of empty, really. And afraid, is what I see. It’s like she has had herself torn out. I wish, I hope she could find someone, a professional who really wants to help her. Not because she is Britney Spears and gee, I’m the one who stepped in to “fix” her. Anonymous, and genuine compassion for a human being who has been destroyed inside. But we know she has the strength to say NO and found help to get out of it. Will she ever truly have someone who is not exploiting her for their own purposes? I hope so. She deserves peace and joy. She may just have to walk away from it all, change her appearance, god knows, maybe name and go somewhere and just “be”. For her.

I feel like her smile is really weird now. I know she's gotten older but she did some kind of work and I can't put my finger on it. It's just weird.

I think it's the teeth, in the first it's like she's wearing veneers and in the second they're her real teeth?

That is most of these pics. You can see the aging. Difference of 20 + years or more.

I like how more natural she looks in the 1st Pic. She's just too over the top in the 2nd 1. Natural is always best

I feel many of the 'before' pictures were before filters came out. Not really a fair comparison

She didn’t need to change anything, some people lose the essence of their face when they start messing with it

She looks like she had the buccal fat removal. That's not good, for getting older.

From a unique beautiful face to a copy/paste IG influencer/Kardashian. Sad.
