Time and again, movies and series have been made to portray the Magic of Makeovers. While some have been a mind-boggling 180-degree transformation from the ugly duckling to beautiful swan, others have been more subtle. Even the crowned Princess of Genovia, Actor Anne Hathaway went ahead and landed a job as personal secretary to the fashion editor-in-chief Meryl Streep. In both cases, she had to undergo layers of transformations. At one place, she was expected to be flawless, because, of course, who would want a princess who had a jungle of a hair, wore nerdy glasses, and looked awkward. At the other, even if she was the perfect sweet girl next door, she had to transform herself to be acceptable in the Fashion world that she worked for.
Hollywood has given Anne Hathaway and numerous other rough diamonds, a lively polish for the pleasure of our viewing. After all, in a world so full of competition, who doesn’t like to stand apart from the crowd?
One such Hollywood gem is our very own friendly Disney witch, Alex Russo (Selena Gomez). Being born in a wizard family, it’s obvious, that she will have some (and then some more) tricks up her sleeve. From attaining top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 to forming a band to going solo and bagging movies like Monte Carlo, Spring Breakers and The Fundamentals of Caring, Selena has done it all. And how could one possibly forget the voice-over for the marvelous little bleh-bleh-bleh vampire Marvis from Hotel Transylvania franchise? With such performances to back her up, Selena has been anything but little.
UNICEF ambassador at age seventeen and earner of numerous awards and accolades such as ALMA Award, American Music Award, People’s Choice Award, MTV Video Music Award, Teen Choices Award, Selena couldn’t look any less than the brightest diamond in the sky, that’s filled with stars.
