7 Dramatic celebrity weight loss transformations that shocked everyone

Hollywood stars go the extra mile to stay in shape being in the spotlight and under heavy public scrutiny. Bodies have a natural tendency to change over time and celebrities are no alien to this phenomenon.

Actors and actresses push themselves to lift heavy weights, consume healthy foods and maintain a lifestyle that helps them to achieve their desired body shape so that they shine bright on the red carpet.

On-screen personalities struggle enormously with their appearances as their fans usually frown upon any bodily changes that affect the idealised image they have in their minds.

Here are the top 7 iconic divas who debuted jaw-dropping looks that left everyone astonished:

1. Adele

Adele became a completely new person after successfully melting 100 pounds within two years. The Hello songstress worked tirelessly by eating healthy and regular strength training. The 16-time Grammy winner later revealed that weight loss was never her goal as she worked on herself to improve her mental health.

2. Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez, who has struggled with lupus, has been very vocal about her weight fluctuations that are caused by her medicines.
