What a difference ten years makes...

Social media photo craze shows how celebs have changed in a decade... or not

- BY RHIAN LUBIN and AMANDA EVANS

Kate Hudson cannot resist looking over her shoulder by sharing a snap from a decade ago. The actress, 39, is among stars joining in the 10-Year Challenge, which has taken social media by storm.

The craze caught on from Facebook, which will post your old photos – some of which you might be glad to see and others you might rather forget – on your profile.

Here, we take a look at the difference a decade can make in the world of showbiz… The Queen of Pop and mum of six has fought a battle against ageing and, going by these pics, it looks as though she’s winning. She hardly looks a day older than in 2009 – a year after divorcing director Guy Ritchie. Phil was a silver fox even then, while Holly’s hair looks a shade or two darker. It was the year she joined the telly veteran to co-host This Morning and, according to execs, time seems to have stood still. This Morning tweets: “They haven’t changed a bit! #10yearchal­lenge” A lot has changed since Vicky gave up working in telesales to star in Geordie Shore and win I’m A Celeb – and not just the look. She writes: “I have nothing else to say, I’m just going to leave this here.” A decade ago the footballer was married to Louise and clean shaven. Since then he has split from her and grown a beard. He has also improved his fashion sense. Referring to the lilac suit he wore in 2009, he says: “A little purple number... what was I thinking?” She hits the half-century this summer and looks great, so J-LO was happy to share these snaps. A decade ago she was pregnant with twins Maximilian David and Emme Maribel. But at 49 shestill has a natural glow. She hasn’t exactly let nature take its course. But Katie looks pretty good 10 years on – and she has been through a fair bit too. The mum-of-five divorced Peter Andre in 2009 and has since divorced MMA fighter Alex Reid and split from third hub Keiran Hayler.

All before the heady age of 25. Now this star really has changed – transition­ing from Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner to Caitlyn in 2015. “Now THAT is a #10Yearchal­lenge. Be authentic to yourself,” she says. The youngest member of the Jackson clan lost her megastar brother Michael in 2009 and she performed a tribute at the MTV Video Music Awards. The years seem to have barely touched the singer since as she writes on Instagram: “Challenge accepted.” A hectic career and being a mum-of-three somehow have not aged Reese. In 2009 the actress had just starred in animated film Monsters vs. Aliens. She is now filming Legally Blonde 3 and says: “Time sure does fly when you are having fun.”
