Fame has been known to transform a girl next door into the belle of the ball and an average Joe into a poster-ready prince charming. The spotlight even makes the already-hot stars even hotter thanks to the expertise of a professional team of hair and makeup artists, wardrobe stylists and personal trainers, a team that has become a must for industry A-listers.

Thanks to the ever-increasing industry pressure to slim down and shape up, or the help of a little nip and tuck, celebrity makeovers are more dramatic than ever. Fat Joe isn't even fat anymore! From Victoria Beckham's posh-ification to Jennifer Hudson's drastic weight loss, check out the best makeovers in pop music in our gallery below.

Missy, with dark skin you don't need all of that make up. Also, lose that f***ked - up looking "hair cap" on your head! Yuk!! As for your battle with Graves disease, I pray that you get better, if not cured.

I liked some of the before looks. Many of the after looks are cool too. Queen Lafifah had it going on in 1988 and 1989 with her African garb outfits that matched with her positive lyrics. But it 's a looks and staying fit entertainment industry, where they will slam celebrities if they gain a few pounds or become too thin. Missy Elliott has always looked great to me before or after. Jay-Z's before look was cool because it matched with his rap styles. Kelly Rowland looked good before and after. I don't like Katharine McPhee's after look--the blonde look is two shades too bright for her.

I could agree with most of 'em except Posh Spice, she looks anorexic and never smiles. And since I don't like skinny girls, Carrie Underwood should regain the weight. Katherine McPhee looks gorgeous with either hairdo!

She looked like a red-headed pig then, and she looks like a blonde-headed pig now. She comes from a family of trash, and now she is supposed to be a fashion icon. Give me a break!
