It’s fair to say that many of the stars topping today’s best-dressed lists didn’t get their careers off to the most fashionable start. In other words, they’re just like the rest of us.
From Victoria Beckham to Cheryl Cole, here are five celebrities who have undergone major style transformations. We can’t get enough of their red carpet glamour…
1. Angelina Jolie

When Angelina first began to make her mark in Hollywood 20 years ago, she became known for her daring vampish style. Fast forward a decade or so and she’s recognised around the world as a leading fashionista. Her latest red carpet (pictured above) at the premier of her new movie By The Sea (which she wrote, directed and starred in) cemented her status as a bonafide style icon.
2. Cheryl Cole

The world first came to know a young singer called Cheryl Tweedy back in 2002. After joining The X Factor as a judge in 2008, her style took a chic turn and she’s never looked back. Known for her polished and sleek looks, Cheryl continues to turn heads in her gorgeous gowns; check out her latest red carpet appearance at the Music Industry Trust Awards (pictured above).
3. Kim Kardashian

During her early days as Paris Hilton’s BFF, Kim’s wardrobe was awash in pointy-toed boots, bandanas, scarves, hoop earrings and a whole lot more where that came from. Ten years on, with Kanye as her unofficial stylist, she’s known around the world for her minimalist look with a neutral palette, chic lines and stunning silhouettes.
4. Victoria Beckham

Nobody has experimented more with their personal style than Victoria Beckham, and what a transformation she’s undertaken. From her post-Spice Girls body-con dresses and blonde pixie cut, to her polished elegant looks of recent years, the fashion queen has found her red carpet groove. Now heading up one of the most successful fashion brands in the girl, we can’t get enough of Victoria’s style.
5. Nicole Richie

The early naughties weren’t a good fashion moment for anyone, but Nicole Richie managed to turn it around in the best possible way. Moving away from trucker hats, bright colours and low-rise jeans, Nicole now heads up three successful fashion lines (Winter Kate, House of Harlow and The Nicole Richie Collection), and she’s always a stand-out star on the red carpet.
