A right royal transformation: The miraculous makeovers that turned dowdy commoners into dazzling princesses
When they married into royal families, the lives of the Duchess of Cambridge, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Mary, Sophie, Countess of Wessex and Princess Charlene changed forever.
But it isn't just their day-to-day routines and titles that have had an upgrade; their image has had a complete overhaul, too.
From Kate Middleton's transformation from country bumpkin to dazzling Duchess, and Crown Princess Mary's miraculous makeover from Australian party girl to Danish Crown Princess, FEMAIL charts the royal makeovers that prove there's hope for all of us.
THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE
It was the moment the nation had been waiting for: On April 29 2011, in front of a sea of cheering well-wishers, Catherine Middleton emerged from her car outside Westminster Abbey and took her first steps towards her new husband - and a new life.
The shy art student that Prince William met at university saw her world transform and her life is now one of endless engagements, royal tours and a constant battle for normality.
Kate has completely revamped her wardrobe since entering the public eye, slinging out Sloaney separates, left in 2005, in favour of chic designer dresses, pictured right this year, and the hottest high street picks

Kate always gets the sense of occasion just right, dressing in an appropriate colour, designer, or adding a subtle custom detail that gives a nod to the place she is visiting. It shows a real affinity with her role and her wardrobe - and is a far cry from the wellington boots, unflattering knitwear and tweed she once favoured.
And it's not just her wardrobe that's had an overhaul; look closely and you'll notice a total beauty transformation, too.
Her glossy, long brunette locks - often worn in a half-up and half-down style - now appear richer in colour and more coiffed and she often experiments with new cuts, such as bangs.
Her porcelain skin looks more bronzed and her face appears slimmer, her youthful apple cheeks less apparent, and her make-up much more carefully applied than back when she found fame.
