Throwback Thursday: 10 Hot Stars Before They Were Cool

In 2001, 10-year-old Emma Watson was thrust into the spotlight as Hermione in blockbuster franchise Harry Potter. One of the few child actresses to make a trouble-free transition into adulthood, the star has also turned into a bona fide fashionista.

It’s hard to believe that five years ago the world was One Directionless. Luckily the fab five soon came together via reality TV to change music history. And in four short years, they’ve changed the face of fashion too.

We just can’t remember to forget this snap of a 22-year-old Shakira rocking her red weave in 1999. Fast-forward fifteen years and the sexy blonde is now a mum to 1-year-old Milan and has just released her tenth studio album.

In 1990 Leonardo DiCaprio was 16 years old and already boasting the heartthrob good looks that would go on to make him the biggest actor on the planet (and "king of the world") a mere seven years later in blockbuster Titanic.

13-year-old Miley Cyrus was still better known as ‘Hannah Montana’ in 2006 but that soon changed as the working tween turned into a twerking teen, swapping sensible cardigans for high-cut marijuana-encrusted leotards.

Somewhere around 2004 former N*Sync star Justin Timberlake said ‘Bye Bye Bye’ to the bad barnet and ‘I Want You Back’ to a stylish ‘Suit and Tie’. And he hasn’t gone wrong since. Although we kinda miss the days of him rocking double denim with Britney.

TOO CUTE. In 2000, 3-year-old Kylie and 4-year-old Kendall wore matching black dresses with fluffy purple cuffs to the premiere of Disney flick The Emperor’s New Groove. The gorgeous girls still coordinate today but, wisely, have ditched the velvet.

Was it only six years ago that fourteen-year-old Justin Bieber and his side sweep were driving teenage girls to hysteria? Apparently 72 months is all it takes to go from cute to hunky when you have Bieber’s genes. And boy do we want his jeans.

In 2003, 19-year-old Cheryl Cole was riding high after winning Popstars: The Rivals together with her Girls Aloud bandmates. Over the next decade, the cute quintet went on to superstardom, turning our Cheryl from a pop idol to a style icon.

Dapper duo Ant & Dec are the undisputed kings of primetime television but in 1996 they were still just a couple of cheeky chappies from Byker Grove with somewhat questionable taste in shirts.
