The Changing Faces of Cheryl A look at the stars

The Changing Faces of Cheryl: A look at the star’s evolving look over the years

Cheryl raised eyebrows as she sported a very toned complexion as she left her final 2:22 A Ghost Story performance in London on Tuesday night.

The former Girls Aloud singer, 39, put on an animated show as she beamed and chatted to fans as she exited the Lyric Theatre.

But her features looked noticeably different from a few years ago when her cheeks and lips looked less plump.

She also opened up about how her appearance — including her face — changed when she had her son, Bear, in 2017.

Here Web takes a look back at the transformation of Cheryl’s face:

Cheryl rose to fame in late 2002 when she won a spot in Girls Aloud, a girl group formed by ITV’s Popstars: The Rivals.

She was just 18 at the time and had a natural look with her signature dimples and fresh face.

Then, in 2010, she stepped out with a noticeably plumper pout for the first time when she performed makeup-free at a London airport.

In 2014, the next noticeable difference was where she appeared slimmer and with smaller lips.

Then in 2016, she regained a fuller face and more defined volume in her cheeks.

In 2017, Cheryl had her first child, Bear, with ex Liam Payne, and after that, fans commented that her face looked different.

In an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine, she reveals why she looked different.

She said: “My whole body, even my face, everything has changed since Bear was born. But I feel better than I was. I don’t care what my body looks like in that regard. I’m not obsessed with it.

“I created a life! I’m amazed myself. And I’m kinder to myself because of it. I focus less on my insecurities because they’re so much less relevant.’

As she transitioned into 2023, her cheeks looked a lot fuller and her facial expressions tighter as she was seen leaving the theater since she started as Jenny in February.
