No. 12: Legally Blonde
If wearing too much pink was a crime, Elle Woods would top the list of offenders. However, law school inspires this sorority girl to trade her Juicy Couture tracksuits and rose-colored leather getups for courtroom appropriate (but still stylish) pencil skirts and sweaters. After all, a Delta Nu would never leave the house looking anything less than posh.

No. 11: Mean Girls
Cady Heron goes from an adorable home-school nerd to seriously plastic. While initially her push-up bras, long layers and glossy lips foster Regina George-levels of admiration among her peers, in the end she learns it's what inside that counts.

No. 10: Hunger Games
This movie makeover isn't superficial -- it's a matter of life and death. As Katniss Everdeen prepares to enter the Hunger Games, she's stripped of her muted District 12 uniform and swathed in couture gowns, over-the-top hair and extravagant makeup meant to win over the entire Panem population.

No. 9: Princess Diaries
Before donning her chic "The Devil Wears Prada" wardrobe and chopping off her hair in "Les Miserables," Anne Hathaway underwent this striking movie makeover. How Mia Thermopolis was able to go from flaunting a serious brush-breaking bush on her head to sleek, sophisticated princess still blows our minds a little.

No. 8: She's All That
An unfortunate bet instigated this movie makeover (a high school hunk was challenged to turn "any" girl into a prom queen in six weeks), but the results are still impressive. Artistic wallflower Laney Boggs loses her ponytails, overalls and glasses, transforming into a hottie who isn't afraid to flaunt her figure in a body-con spaghetti-strapped dress.

Beauty makeovers are our guilty pleasure. Whether it's gasping at the final reveal of a TV makeover show or introducing a friend to the wonders of a burgundy lip, we love a good transformation. But the most satisfying makeovers happen on the big screen. Hollywood has perfected the art of the plain-Jane-to-goddess montage. (Think: "Pretty Woman," "The Princess Diaries," "Clueless.")
True, most of these movie makeovers imply that you need a complete fashion and beauty overhaul to get the job or the man -- or both. Even if we haven't quite worked out our feelings on that questionable message, we're still suckers for an epic on-screen transformation. That�s why we've ranked the most incredible movie makeovers in recent memory. Where does your favorite fall on our list? Keep reading to find out.
