Side By Side Pics Of Kelly Osbourne Highlight Her Drastic Transformation
It's been a long time since Kelly Osbourne debuted as a bold and outspoken teen on "The Osbournes," with the hit reality show thrusting the then-17-year-old into the spotlight alongside her oddball music legend family. The budding star seemingly embraced the Osbourne legacy, becoming known for her experimental fashion and colorful hairstyles while pursuing a short-lived music career. At the same time, the London native faced a lot of negative attention, with the media specifically scrutinizing her weight, while she's struggled with addiction throughout her life.

Since then, Osbourne has undergone a major evolution, with side-by-side pictures highlighting just how much she has changed. The "Fashion Police" star shed the heavy makeup, studded clothing, and scene-inspired 'dos of her youth for a more simplified glam aesthetic that is right at home on influencer-heavy Instagram feeds. Fans who followed her throughout the 2010s will notice that she's traded in her signature lavender tresses to experiment with a blonde bombshell look, sporting everything from voluminous curls to sleek lobs on social media.
Not only has the celeb opened up about her body image and weight loss journey, undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in the late 2010s, but Osbourne also discussed plastic surgery amid this head-turning transformation. "What it does for people is amazing," she told People in 2024. "But I've never done anything but Botox. I'm too scared." Instead, Osbourne revealed that she opts for procedures known as EmFace and EmSculpt that tighten skin using radio frequency and electromagnetic energy. While snapshots demonstrate just how much Osbourne has physically changed, her evolution is more than just a skin-deep transformation.

Kelly has been openly discussed mental health and motherhood
It's clear that Kelly Osbourne has changed significantly throughout her time in the spotlight, with side-by-side snapshots truly underscoring that transformation, but it's important to note that the TV host's mental health journey is an essential element of her evolution. "I have done a lot of work on myself. That is the hardest work you'll ever do. When you try and fix what you believe is broken," she told Allison Hagendorf, explaining that she had been diagnosed with OCD and Borderline Personality Disorder.
Given this, Osbourne explained that therapy was a major part of her healing journey. "I didn't realize how much my OCD was taking over my life and how much depression and anxiety played into it," she shared with Us Weekly in 2024. Additionally, motherhood played a crucial role in her changing perspective, as she welcomed a son with Slipknot member Sid Wilson in 2022. "I didn't realize just how powerful the feeling of love was [going to be] when you have the baby," she said. "You realize in that one second, 'You've given me purpose like nothing has ever given me before.' I don't think I had purpose [before]."
Osbourne has similarly opened up about her relationship with her appearance. "I was the kind of girl who showered with the lights off because I didn't want to look at my body," she said. "I don't feel that way [anymore]. I'm really content with how I look." It's always interesting to see how stars physically transform over time, but it's reassuring to know that inner work is happening at the same time.
