It’s hard to believe it’s been six years since the tantastic stars of TOWIE first entered our lives and while the controversial cast have long been noted for their unique sense of style, some of the show’s stars seems to have changed a lot more than others since their 2010 debuts.

From slimmed down frames to more pronounced pouts, we take a look at the ever-changing appearances of some of Essex’s best known personalities.

Gemma Collins:

 

Back in 2011 Gemma Collins had dark brown hair, a full fringe and a tan which could only be called abnormally orange.  Since then Gemma has taken a slightly more subtle approach to the slap and has dyed her locks to her familiar blonde shade.  Despite continued speculation that she’s followed the likes of Charlotte Crosby and had her lips plumped, Gemma still denies using fillers.    

 

Amy Childs:

Since finding fame on The Only Way Is Essex and It’s All About Amy model Amy Childs has become quite the businesswoman.  But while Amy’s signature style has remained relatively constant over the years, the star’s physical appearance has changed as a result of cosmetic surgery.  The 26-year-old has openly admitted to having her boobs enhanced and her lips and cheeks filled, alterations which she now claims to regret.    

 

Chloe Sims:

Since joining the Essex crew in 2010, Chloe Sims has had a fair bit of work done.  Aside from giving her brunette do a blonde overhaul, Chloe has openly admitted to having a boob job, bum lift and fillers to alter her physical appearance. 

 

Lauren Goodger:

Lauren Goodger has made one of the most dramatic TOWIE transformations in recent years as not only has the star’s frame got slimmer, her lips now look bigger than ever before.  In January this year Lauren revealed she’d dropped four stone and five dress sizes after swapping yo-yo diets for a new workout regime.  Like her former co-star Gemma Collins, Lauren denies having her lips done and instead claims her new pout is the result of a lip plumper she bought at MAC. 

 

Lydia Bright:

 

While always a fan of feminine style, boutique owner Lydia Bright has pared back her look for the better.  While once a fan high-coverage foundation and frilly dresses, the star now favours a more natural-looking complexion which goes perfectly with her soft boho dress sense.

 

Sam Faiers:

 

Former glamour model Sam Faiers has ditched the blonde bombshell look she once sported in Essex in favour of a much subtler brunette style.  The mother of one now rocks dark roots and a healthy glow as she focuses her attention on baby Paul.
