Ava Phillippe
For a burgeoning starlet who’s grown up right before our eyes, Ava Phillippe has wholly embraced every step of her journey in the spotlight. The daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, Ava is clearly paving her own path and showing off her unique style along the way. She’s incredibly close with her family, as evidenced by the sweet social media posts often shared on her own account and those of her parents.
Kim Kardashian
From her beginnings on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim Kardashian transformed herself over the past decade. She also starred in the reality TV show’s successors like Kourtney and Kim Take New York, Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, and Hulu’s upcoming successor The Kardashians. Along with being a reality TV star, she has gone down numerous business ventures like a beauty line called KKW Beauty, a mobile game called Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, a fragrance line called KKW Fragrance, and the ever-so-popular SKIMS line.
Adele
Ever since Adele’s music blew up in the early 2010s, everyone fell for the powerhouse singer. Her albums 21, 25, and 30 became instant successes, with all three topping #1 on nearly every worldwide music chart. Along with being the proud mama to Angelo James, 9, Adele is all about a new lifestyle. She shocked fans in 2020 when fans saw that she lost over 100 pounds, completely transforming her look.
Kylie Jenner
Out of all the celebs on this list, Kylie Jenner has had the most dramatic transformation. Back in 2010, Kylie was only 13, so obviously a lot has changed. She is now a mother to daughter Stormi Webster and a newborn son, is an aunt to eight kids, and a bona fide beauty mogul — Jenner has also become the youngest self-made billionaire ever. She’s also the owner of both Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin. And we can’t deny her drastic physical transformation — as this beauty buff changes her look just about as often as she changes her makeup.
Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus has come a long way since her Disney Channel days. Over the past decade, she’s gone through transformation after transformation, trying to find her true sound after Disney. For her look, she’s dyed her hair blonde, gotten quite a few tattoos, and gotten a more rocker chic vibe. Since her Disney days, she’s released a few studio albums with critical success.
Kristen Stewart
Despite acting since she was a kid, Kristen Stewart didn’t make it into the A-list category until she starred in the Twilight movies from 2008 to 2011. Since then, she’s transformed herself into one of the biggest indie actresses of our time starring in films like Personal Shopper, Underwater, and Seberg. In 2021, she shared as Princess Diana in the hit film Spencer, which got her an Oscar nomination. Along with that, she came out as bisexual in 2017 and is now engaged to longtime girlfriend Dylan Meyer.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry made her breakthrough in the late 2000s with her albums One of the Boys and Teenage Dream. However, she’s continued to have commercial success with albums Prism, Witness, and Smile. She also became a judge for Americal Idol in recent years. In her personal life, she and Orlando Bloom started dating in 2016 and got engaged in 2019. In 2020, they became parents and welcomed their daughter Daisy into the world. As for her look, she’s embraced a more platinum blonde look and floral gowns.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is unique on this list in that her career had only just started to take off at the beginning of the decade. After releasing her debut album Pink Friday, in 2010, Minaj quickly became one of the hottest musicians in the rap industry, with four studio albums and dozens of awards under her belt to date. She’s broken records (namely, when she had seven songs on the Billboard Top 100 simultaneously) and made history after becoming the first female rapper ever to have 14 songs land on the Billboard Top 10.
Jessica Simpson
Honestly, everyone owes Jessica Simpson an apology for calling her overweight in the early 2000s. This constant media typecast heavily affected her confidence later in life. In the 2000s and the early 2010s, Simpson was the reality TV and singing queen. But since then, she’s gone down different ventures like releasing a memoir called Open Book and her Warm Up brand for workout clothing. She’s been very open about her sobriety and self-love journeys as well. She shares three children named Maxwell Drew, 9, Ace Knute, 8, and Birdie Mae, 3, with former NFL tight end Eric Johnson.
Rebel Wilson
In the early 2010s, nearly every comedy film starred Rebel Wilson. She starred in hit films like What to Expect When You’re Expecting, Struck by Lightning, Bachelorette, and the Pitch Perfect films. She’s been a huge health and body positivity advocate, frequently talking about her weight. In 2020, though, she started working on her personal weight loss journey, losing 60 pounds. She dubbed 2020 “the year of health” and has gained even more confidence, per Women’s Health.
