Top 20 Ugly Duckling Transformations in Movies

[@kerrismith8144]

One I think y'all missed is Nanny McPhee.... it's a slow transformation but its stunning

[@benjaminanthony3336]

Ya definitely deserved a spot on the list

[@jacklow9611]

Yes, I was wanting it to be on this list, but was disappointed because I always thought it should be number 1. I'm glad someone else still has some sense.

[@Dan_Chiron]

That's because Nanny McPhee doesn't go through a makeover. The message of the movie is that the family see her differently because they've learned to understand and appreciate her; she doesn't change, people around her does.

[@jacklow9611]

@@Dan_Chiron: So she doesn't go through a makeover like all the others in the video. The title says "TRANSFORMATION", not 'makeover', and going strictly by the title, none of the girls in this video went through a transformation. I know what the message of the movie was, but in the movie, Nanny McPhee went through the transformations as the family learned all the lessons.

[@azaz7504]

Yahhh

[@Myknight723]

I feel like I’m the only one here saying this, but I always adored these moments as a girl. I didn’t see these women as ugly ducklings transforming into swans. I saw these women given the opportunity to become the women they wanted to be seen as to the world. Women with strength and confidence even when they stumble. They were loved as they were before and they didn’t change after the makeover. Like the women in my life have told me growing up, “You can’t be beautiful on the outside without first being beautiful on the inside.”

[@sarahmackeprangesquell6660]

Very wise women in your life!

[@tiffanygray]

YES!!!!! I so agree! I LOVE watching these moments too. Like you said, these women were gorgeous from the start, but there's just something about getting all dolled up ana dmade-over that makes a lot of us feel confident and happy and on top of the world.

@@debh6304 Wow, well I love having wavy hair. Straight hair is boring, and besides people used to pay a lot cash to get a perm [ ie fake curls ], you should be proud of your hair and that you don't have to fake it. It's not a good message to say, natural curls are ugly. Was Andie McDowell ugly in Groundhog Day or Four Weddings when she had her natural curls, before she used a straighter? Curly hair can be very pretty if its styled well, this also applies to men with curls too.

[@2killnspray9]

@@jane1975 Yeah. I have very curly hair almost kinky. The thing is it gets easily dry and also I'm white with an almost afro type hair. It's rare. People use to say that its weird especially for a white guy. I thinking of having a perm or idk what. I want to try to make the curls more defined and little bit more smooth. Hair leave-in makes my hair shrink to much, and still to "compact" and when I get to explosed to sun for (example) or rain etc it breaks the effect. It's difficult hearing all of what people say "you should cut" "you should straighten" etc even in your own family. And yeah for the last one it's crazy ! Her hair is actually very beautiful with smooth and defined curls (that's what I would like to have) I guess it was maybe a different time where it was considered "ugly" by society. You know how to really "take care of curly hair"? Haha

The “duckling” wasn’t ugly either, because it was always a swan, these girls were always swans mistaken for ducklings. They came into their own. So ugly duckling is better than just makeover.

[@Mina-gs8tq]

[@heyayup]

I think these movies have a much deeper message about gender, specifically femininity and masculinity, rather than ugliness and beauty. If you notice, most of the women presented dress, act and overall look masculine before and then change into an ideal of femininity. These movies are really telling women to stay super feminine because if they drift away from this standard they will be viewed as ugly.

[@tosca8571]

Exactly. In "She's all that", "The Breakfast Club" and "The Princess Diaries", an arty / alternative-thinking person is turned into a preppie girl and that is supposed to be more attractive, because it looks less threatening. I liked "Miss Congeniality" but there is no way that giving her an aggressive personality and making her snort would ever make Sandra Bullock less than gorgeous. Also, what bugs me about these things is that once applied, the contact lenses and makeup NEVER again come off - even in bed or in the shower. Anyone who wears contact lenses knows you cannot wear them all the time without endangering your eyesight.

I think the term "ugly duckling" is a perfectly good term. The point being that there is a beautiful swan in everyone but it's the way you see yourself that makes you beautiful.

that my favourite scene in the entire film, not that she got a makeover, but Eve gave her a confidence boost too

[@JennNofficial]

Cryptic Charm same!!!

[@saridevirajani4718]

When she said, Cinderella, Cinderella 😂

[@millerhxc]

Being given more expensive clothes isn't really the same as an "ugly duckling transformation." I wouldn't count most of this.

[@zamyafields6513]

Marisa Ventura - Jennifer Lopez (Maid in Manhattan) Samantha 'Sam' Montgomery - Hilary Duff (A Cinderella Story) Cinderella - Ilene Woods (Cinderella) Danielle de Barbarac - Drew Barrymore (Ever After) Gracie Hart - Sandra Bullock (Miss Congeniality) Andy Sachs - Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries)

[@nancyomalley9959]

In "Ever After", only one of the stepsisters was mean to Danielle-Marguerite

[@Margann1987]

Exactly. Jacqueline was always nice to her.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I loved *Ever After* so much. Any time they do these female empowerment countdowns, I always wonder why Danielle isn't listed. I always think about the end when the Prince comes to "save" her and she's already coming out of the house. He tells her he's there to save her and she's like, "I already saved myself." 🤣😂🤣 There's something beautiful about that because it takes away the helpless damsel in distress trope and allows her to enter their lives together as an equal. 🤗

@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 "it takes away the helpless damsel in distress trope and allows her to enter their lives together as an equal" and manages to do it without man bashing or misandry. Back when movies knew how to show strong women without belittling men.

Thank you for including Strictly Ballroom. Great movie

[@misostie5867]

I love that you had my fair Lady at second place. Eliza Doolittle is gorgeous and her makeover does not only means clothing. Her makeover is more the accurate use of English language. That's why I would vote for her to be number one and Mia on second.

[@murphyj2157]

Totally agree. Unlike the other films the transformation was the whole purpose of the film. It should have been number 1

[@Zacman1123]

This is what the third time you guys have done this list and Cady's STILL only in the HMs?

[@victoria-iz2sb]

I always got mad at princess diaries. they should've just added product to her curls instead of straightening it. Curly hair is beautiful and should be embraced!

[@monabohamad2242]

Straight hair is also beautiful and should also be embraced too lol

[@victoria-iz2sb]

@@monabohamad2242 Okay? But if they have naturally curly hair it's not necessary to straighten it. All lives matter vibes. Gross.

[@salvatorepalazzo2718]

For me, number 1 is Jamie Lee Curtis (Helen Tasker) in True Lies. Strange you've forgot her in your list. Best transformation ever.

[@saridamama5942]

Anna Hathaway transformation was really good.😀😀😀

[@101shadeira]

Jawbreaker & maid in Manhattan will forever be my favorite movies 😅

[@sashika6053]

Selina Kyle’s transformation is amazing 🤩

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

The top three were correct, so I'm pleased (at last!). 👍

[@kelhapam]

love that you included Strictly Ballroom

[@lucigirl17]

Honestly, Ever After is the best and first Cinderella story I know, beautiful story

[@lilydowning6701]

My favorite will always be Adrian from Rocky. It shows just what confidence can do. Her whole life she was told she was ugly until someone finally looked past her awkwardness and told her she had always been beautiful. She is like my favorite character ever written.

[@ririririPXN]

I agree with most picks but for me the one not only missing but hands down the best one was Muriel in Muriel's Wedding. And it is a meaningful transformation because it was not someone conforming to society's standards of beauty but almost the reverse. It was a film about embarrassing your individuality and becoming confident because of that. Muriel truly blooms and transforms throughout the film in the true sense of the word.

[@amandaredd3057]

Drew was so sweet and badass in Ever After ❤ She was wonderful as Josie Gellar too!!

[@HodelosGaming]

Two movies comes to mind. The house bunny and So undercover. I will never use the word ugly, but the makeovers are really good.

[@jesscharles1512]

I love the movie she's out of control! One of my favorites! 😊😊

[@jeroenboth167]

I find these kind of movies horrible. Everybody is beautiful and as a bully victim for every school year i went through I can tell that these movies make others more bully you and when watched yourself makes you feel even worse.

[@veronicapiccinini1981]

How to teach people that to have success and a high self esteem you need to look taller by putting your foot into unnatural positions, cover your face with dirty stuff that poison your skin, and taking away a prosthesis that you need to see. ALL PROPAGANDA

[@jeroenboth167]

Veronica Piccinini exactly i agree since these stories are stories that are poison

[@monabohamad2242]

Yeah you two guys are full of BS and propaganda indeed

[@8698gil]

As a bully victim I can tell you that changing my look made absolutely no difference whatsoever to the bullies in my school. It's as if they couldn't even see the difference. I lost the glasses, lost weight, cleared up my skin and they still treated me exactly the same.

[@sagerwilliam4248]

I totally agree with your picks

[@larryscantland7192]

you missed Barbra Striesand in The Way We Were. Sissy Spacek in Carrie and 3 Women. Robin Tunney in the Craft.

[@josettevaive3895]

Or Barbara Streisand in The Mirror has Two Faces 🙂

[@2killnspray9]

You guys are crazy!! For the last one she had very beautiful curly hair! Nothing ugly! Smooth and defined curls.

[@_Anna_Zhukova_]

St. Trinian's makeover montage is my favorite)

[@mikewright3029]

Never Been Kissed... lol, I remember that...:>3

[@julesmcc5477]

What about working girl? She goes from secretarial clothes and hair to elegant business woman, with a bod for sin!!

[@perrybeider]

And loses her Joisey accent, AND jump-starts her career, AND does it all on her own! It should be #1 on this list, and it's not even an HM?? Epic fail!

[@williethomas5116]

My favorite is a league of their own. This movie is about according to a socialite character in the movie"a group of young women being plucked from farms across America to see which one could be more masculine." Because they were athletes playing baseball in the 40s. So the guy who ran the league had a group of beauty pageant women come in to give every woman in the league a makeover which gave us classic lines like "The eyelashes let's thin and separate try to remember ladies there are supposed to be 2 of them. "Color her hair so people can tell this twin is the girl" And my personal what do suggest for this woman, "A lot of night games".
