Makeovers used to be practically required in a certain pop in of movie.

Feminine allure: unlocked!

(ThinkSandra Bullockacquiring the power of lipstick inMiss Congeniality.)

Stills from ‘Legally Blonde’ and ‘Love & Basketball.'

But not all makeovers are quite so egregious.

So without further ado, six great movie makeovers, in no particular order.

Plus, the hair stays big and curly!

Nia Vardolos and Jon Corbett in ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding.'

The cucumber does nothing).

(Theres a bomb threat that only she can get close to, of course.)

(See:10 Things I Hate About YouandShes All That.)

Mia Thermopolis’ makeover is revealed in ‘The Princess Diaries.'

And whileLove & Basketballalso follows this gadget, its far and away my favorite of the bunch.

The neighbors/longtime competitors have been destined to be together since childhood.

But since Elles sense of style is impeccable, its her sense ofselfthat really needs a makeover.

Michael Caine walks with Sandra Bullock in a scene from the film ‘Miss Congeniality’, 2000.

At the films climax, she confidently enters the courtroom in head-to-toe pink with a bouncy blowout.

Yeah, I am.

That is one ofthemost epic lines in a movie.

Omar Epps and Sanaa Lathan in ‘Love & Basketball.'

Added bonus because Stanley Tucci was responsible for her makeover.

Elle Woods takes charge in the final court scene of ‘Legally Blonde.'

Anne Hathaway as Andy in ‘The Devil Wears Prada.'
