They graced the covers of magazines, appeared on billboards and are known for their beauty by millions of fans.
But even this group of gorgeous stars had a rather questionable appearance early in their careers.
While some are unrecognizable from their current selves, others have changed little over the years.
From quirky curves on the runway to photo shoots that would make your grandmother blush, these stars have certainly made their mark on their way to fame and fortune.
MailOnline takes a look back at some of the photos the stars don’t want you to see.
Way back when: Rosie Huntington-Whitley looks decidedly unrecognizable in this photo taken at a Bora Aksu runway show during London Fashion Week in 2004 when she was 17
Rosie Huntington Whiteley
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley became widely known when she landed a role as Shia LaBeouf’s love interest in Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2011.
But the 36-year-old Plymouth native had been working as a model for years at the time, starting out in a Levi’s jeans commercial at age 16.
Rosie looks decidedly unrecognizable in this photo, taken at a Bora Aksu fashion show during London Fashion Week in 2004 when she was 17.
The star had a baby face at the time, along with a mane of voluminous blonde curls.
Rosie has come a long way from her early catwalk days and now runs her own makeup and skincare brand.
Wow: Although she rose to fame as a singer, Geri Horner would have given any Page 3 girl a run for her money with this racy photo
Jerry Horner
Although she rose to fame as a singer, Geri Horner would have given any girl a run for her money with this racy snap.
The hitmaker, 51, left little to the imagination in the photoshoot early in her career, where she donned a dangerously low-slung corset.
Geri’s famous flame-haired locks were leggy in a pair of black stilettos and were nowhere to be seen, as she sported a mane of brunette hair instead.
The Spice Girls star looked almost unrecognizable in the photo and completed the look with bold red lipstick.
Pout: Way back in 1981, an 18-year-old Demi slipped into a daring cut-out black mini dress while sitting on a box in this quirky photoshoot
Demi Moore
Demi Moore went all out in the 1996 movie Striptease and made a cool $12.5 million for it.
But years before she was due to get her gear for what was a record salary for an actress at the time, Demi, 60, tested the waters with a few pout-tastic glamor shoots.
Way back in 1981, an 18-year-old Demi slipped into a daring cut-out black mini dress while sitting on a box.
Running her hands through her dark brown locks, the actress fixed the camera with her best sultry look.
While Demi probably isn’t a fan of this particular photo these days, she can take solace in the fact that it wasn’t until a few years later that she became one of the biggest stars of the ’80s as a member of the Brat Pack acting troupe.
Sultry: Although she got her big break in the 1995 thriller Hackers, Angelina, 48, tried her luck as a model in the years leading up to its major success
Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie has long been celebrated as one of the most beautiful women in the world and has plenty of experience posing for the camera.
Although she had her big break in the 1995 thriller Hackers, Angelina, 48, tried her luck as a teen model in the years leading up to its big success.
The Oscar winner appeared in music videos and short films in the early 90s before rising to fame posing for this particular photo shoot as an 18-year-old in 1993.
The photo is said to have been taken in London and shows Angelina in a black midi dress making her best pout for the camera.
Just a few years later, Angelina had emerged as one of the most promising young stars in Hollywood.
We all have to start somewhere.
Flashback: Carol Vorderman was a rather glamorous figure in this promo still being made in December 1987 when she was 26 years old
Carol Vorderman
Unlike some stars who have to graft years before making it big, Carol Vorderman got her spot with Countdown at the tender age of 22.
The 62-year-old TV presenter cut a rather glamorous figure in this promo that was still shot in December 1987, when she was 26 years old.
The star slipped into a strapless pattern dress with black gloves while wearing her tresses in a slick back style.
Carol struck a quirky half-kneeling pose and completed her look with a silver necklace and bejeweled earrings.
Carol has come a long way since her early modeling days and most recently graced the cover of the Daily Mail’s You magazine earlier this year.
