Take off your glasses, let your ponytail down, and give yourself some lip gloss. It's the only thing you need to go from being the Ugly Duckling to becoming the Prom Queen.

We have not invented it: we have been seeing it for years in our favorite movies. And to prove it to you, we bring you a selection of the transformations that we could see again and again and again and again and come on... to continue sighing and surprising us.

Starting with Cinderella, who was the one who started this whole mess of make-overs.

Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady

Perhaps the second most famous Cinderella after the original. The story of the conversion of this poor florist with her particular way of speaking and her bad manners at the hands of the eccentric phonetics professor Henry Higgins is one of our favorite transformations. And yes, at the end of the movie (spoiler, spoiler) he manages to pass her off as a lady from high society.

Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman

All the tales are modernized and in the 20th century Cinderella became a prostitute with the smile and incredible legs of Julia Roberts. Behind that yellow wig she hid an impressive red hair and a woman capable of saving the prince.

Sandy Olsson in Grease

Nobody like Sandy to show us how to go from being a dead mosquito to the queen of the prom.

It seems really difficult, but in reality it only takes a few rollers, the hair and makeup knowledge of a friend like Frenchy, the advice of the rest of the Pink Ladies on how to walk in heels and the vocal cords of Olivia Newton-John to conquer to the man of your dreams.

Tess McGill in Women's Arms

It is impossible not to empathize with Tess McGill, the humble secretary who strives to gain recognition in her company and only finds herself up against walls, lies and obstacles of all kinds. But if you really want something, you have to provoke it yourself, even if it means giving up your hairstyle and ransacking your boss's wardrobe.

Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada

The real world is nothing like your teenage dreams, let alone your idea of ​​what your life is going to be like when you get out of college. For example, Andrea Sachs wanted to be a journalist and ends up becoming the personal assistant/slave of Miranda Pristley, the most feared editor in the fashion world. Of course, something positive was going to get out of the whole thing. Like, for example, the make-over of his life and being able to access the Runway magazine store.

Toula Portokalos in My Big Greek Wedding

Poor Toula. Bossed around by all the members of her family, she lives a gray life in her native Chicago. Who was going to tell us that she could get so much out of some courses at the University? Or some contact lenses? And what about a little makeup?

Annie Manzanas in A Gangster for a Miracle

Another classic of children's stories, Snow White, takes an unexpected turn in this film starring the great Bette Davis, a tramp who sells apples and who is transformed into a lady thanks to a gangster so as not to disappoint her daughter.

Judy Barton in Vertigo

The obsession of police detective John Scottie Ferguson, played by James Stewart, with Madeleine, played by Kim Novak, leads him to such an obsession that he ends up turning a girl he meets on the street into a copy, an increasingly perfect clone. in style and elegance, to the point that both women end up being confused.

Selina Kyle in Batman Returns

From being the abused and neglected secretary of a corrupt boss, who doesn't even flinch when he throws her out the window, to becoming the sexiest villain in comic book history, with those fiery red lips, that tight vinyl job and that air feline walking that is hard to resist.

Jossie Geller in Never Been Kissed

Going back to school, even incognito, where you suffered ridicule, humiliating treatment and the terrible nickname "Jossie Asquerosi" must be very hard. Even for the grown-up Drew Barrymore that she's rid herself of braces and fried hair.

Loretta Castorini in Moon Spell

Cher seems impressive to us without gray hair and with them. But we have to admit that the change that occurs in her character in this film, with which she won an Oscar, is amazing.

Joanna Eberhart in The Perfect Women

When Joannna Eberhart's family decides to move to Stepford, Connecticut and she leaves her important job in television, nothing about her prepares her for the change her life will undergo. And the piece of change that she is going to experience, very disturbing to the point of giving us goosebumps.

Laney Boggs in Someone Like You

A modern remake of the Pygmalion play, yes, the same one that gave rise to the movie My Fair Lady that we talked about above. In this case, set in the typical American high school and starring the typical dead mosquito that nobody pays attention to and the most handsome and popular boy in the place, played by a very handsome Freddie Prinze, Jr.

Mia Thermopolis in Surprise Princess

Being a princess is not easy at all, she does not remotely resemble our dreams and the protagonist of this comedy discovers it the day she finds out that she is the heir to the throne of an unknown European country. Of course, it will not be enough to tame her hair and make her glasses disappear.
