<b>Matthew Lewis</b>
<br>
Matthew was once known as the geeky character Neville Longbottom in the <i>Harry Potter</i> films, but has since transformed into a handsome young man. While Matthew has showed off his toned physique in photoshoots, he says he doesn't understand some of the attention he has received in recent years.
</br><br>
Of his dapper appearance at the premiere for the final Harry Potter film in 2011, Matthew said: "It was never meant to be a 'hey everyone, look at me!' but it was nice to be able to go and be myself. And then obviously a lot of attention focused on it, which I didn't expect at all. I've never considered myself to be good-looking at all. Just average."

<br>
Miley has come a long way since her <i>Hannah Montana</i> days. The former Disney star shed her alter ego in 2012 by cutting and dyeing her long brunette locks into a bleach blonde crop and abandoning her wholesome image to become a provocative pop star.

As award-winning DJ, Emporio Armani model and Taylor Swift's boyfriend now, it's safe to assume Calvin is living the good life. The Scottish-born star has come very far in looks and music since he released his debut album at the age of 22.

<br>
Kim is currently one of the most talked about people in the celebrity world, constantly making headlines. Perhaps her most signature look is the incredible contouring that she does daily. Her standout look so far of 2016 was the blonde wig she wore for husband Kanye's New York fashion show. While her striking eyes remain the same, the subtle changes to her face really make a difference.

<br>
Fatherhood suits Ryan very well! In the past, the <i>Deadpool</i> star resembled musician Justin Timberlake back in the day with the goatee and spiked hair (though we're glad Ryan skipped dyeing the tips of his hair). We're glad to say he has become quite stylish and put-together over the years.

<br>
One thing is clear: Kylie is not your average 18-year-old. Having grown up in the limelight, we've seen her transition from cute little sister to fashion diva. Some of her choices like <a href="https://us.hellomagazine.com/health-and-beauty/1201509097744/kylie-jenner-loves-her-lips-talks-beauty-regimen/"><strong>using lip fillers</strong></a> have been controversial but we admire the resilience the teen has. Her new lip kit has sold out multiple times already.
