Your Jaw Is Going To Drop When You See Ariana Grande’s ‘Real Face’

Ariana Grande looks like a totally different person these days – and we’re not just talking about her ditching her trademark high ponytail! The former Nickelodeon star has grown up in front of the camera, which means we are familiar with her natural features and can therefore detect any changes to her appearance – big or small – a lot easier.

But just in case anyone needs reminding, let’s take a look at a throwback picture of Ariana with her natural hair color (did you know her natural hair was this dark and this curly? We had no idea – but we love it!) and natural features.

It’s safe to say that the smiling young girl in the picture looks nothing like the former Victorious star – and we’re not just referring to the hair color or hair style! Fans have been speculating that the 28-year-old “Positions” singer has had a lot of work done – especially over the past few years. Although she doesn’t appear to have gone overboard like so many other A-listers who have grown up in the public eye (we’re not naming any names!) fans can’t help but think that she has had some subtle – and some not-so-subtle – alterations, shall we say. Let’s assess the evidence, shall we?

Ariana’s eyes look a little different

The “7 Rings” singer’s eyes seem to be a little different these days, and fans and plastic surgeons have often suggested that she may have had procedures such as a brow lift and eyelid surgery (more specifically, an eyelid tilt) to subtly change the appearance of her eyes. This doesn’t necessarily mean the shape of her actual eyes, but rather, the position of her eyebrows, which can also slightly alter the eye shape by stretching it. Other fans think that her slightly more elevated brows could also be achieved via Botox rather than going under the knife, which is a far less invasive approach. Either way, her eyebrows are very noticeably higher than they once were.
