Tulisa transformed! Former X Factor judge tweets her (almost unrecognisable) new look
JUST three months ago she was found guilty of drink-driving after crashing her £150,000 Ferrari.
But Tulisa Contostavlos appears to be eager to put that behind her – and overhaul her image.
The former X Factor judge, 27, looked almost unrecognisable in photos she posted on social media. Her lips appeared fuller while her face seemed slimmer than when she appeared on ITV’s This Morning two years ago.
Carefully applied make-up, which included eyelash extensions, made her eyes appear larger while her eyebrows looked thicker. She also seemed to be sporting a shorter haircut, and a thinstrapped black top allowed her to show off her bronzed skin.
Miss Contostavlos, who shared the pictures of her new look with her 3.6million followers on Twitter, has recently gone on a luxury health retreat run by ‘juice master’ Jason Vale. She also posted photos of that experience online,
‘I’m happy with my lips’
which showed her doing yoga, playing tennis and hiking while ‘detoxing’ on fruit and vegetables.
The singer, who rose to fame in hip-hop group N-Dubz, sparked much speculation about whether she used cosmetic treatments after appearing at court in 2014 looking somewhat different.
She later admitted she has used fillers in her lips and face, saying in an interview: ‘Yes, I’ve had my lips done, and I’m happy with my lips. And I also had a tiny bit of filler in my cheeks. Pictures of me where my face was swelling, I had water retention – where you have filler your face draws up a load of water. So my face began to swell like a balloon.’
She insisted she had never had cosmetic surgery, but said she had had collagen wave therapy, which blasts the skin with radio waves and claims to make the skin smoother without the tell-tale frozen look that comes with Botox injections.
Anne-Marie Gillett, of cosmetic treatment clinic Transform, said Miss Contostavlos looked ‘unrecognisable’ after her recent transformation. She said the singer appeared to have had Botox in her forehead and lip fillers, and may have had fillers in parts of her face including her cheeks, jawline and beneath her nose.
Miss Contostavlos, from north London, has kept a relatively low profile in recent years following a string of court cases. Three years ago she was accused of dealing drugs after a sting operation but a judge threw out the case in 2014.
In a separate case that year, she was found guilty of attacking a blogger who published a sex tape she made with an ex-boyfriend, and received a fine for the assault. Her drink-driving conviction came in April this year. Miss Contostavlos’s spokesman declined to comment.
