The changing faces of celebrities

She was always unlucky in love, religiously kept a diary and wore those infamous granny pants during a rather flirty encounter. Yet the face of the much-loved Bridget Jones was barely recognisable as actress Renne Zellweger debuted a drastic new look on the red carpet last night.

The 45-year-old actress set tongues wagging when she stepped out at the Annual Women in Hollywood Awards and looked noticeably different. 

The Chicago actress’s skin looked completely smooth and line free while her eyes looked slightly larger. Her face also appeared slightly puffy causing the rumour mill to go into overdrive. 

It’s not the first time speculation has surrounded the actress and her ever changing appearance, in particular her fluctuating weight, which has been a talking point for many years.

Donatella Versace 

The Vice-President of high-fashion brand Versace, 54-year-old Donatella has had her fair share of plastic surgeries. Her trademark swollen smackers, as well as adjustments to her nose, have gained plenty of attention over the years.

Michael Jackson

The King of Pop only ever admitted to getting two nose jobs in his whole life, however a look at the difference in his appearance between the 1980's and the final years of his life suggests otherwise. The picture opposite shows the Thriller singer pictured in 1979, 1988 and 2005. 

Heidi Montag

Reality star Heidi Montag found herself dominating headlines worldwide when it emerged she underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day. The Hills star reportedly had her breast implants increased to DDD's, a brow life, nose job and liposuction on her stomach and thighs, among other things.

Janice Dickinson

The self-proclaimed first supermodel of the world, Janice Dickinson, has, reportedly, had hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cosmetic surgery done in order to maintain the beautiful looks that catapulted her to international fame in the 1970's and '80's. 

Jocelyn Wildenstein 

The New York City socialite became famous during her bitter divorce when it emerged she had spent four million dollars on her extensive facial surgeries and extravagant lifestyle
