Transformation

From Laker Girl to Forever Your Girl, Paula Abdul was a late '80s icon of sultry style. Yet, it was her role on American Idol that revealed the singer-choreographer's playful take on glam. "I'm getting better with age, and more relaxed in my skin than ever before," she told InStyle. "In my 20s and 30s I used to feel like I was a visitor, even though I was invited to the party. Now, life is my party." It's no wonder, then, that Abdul loves to flaunt fun, flashy looks from pearlescent lipstick to voluminous, shiny locks.

The trendy bowl cut-sporting Van Nuys High School cheerleader turned pro when she was hired as a Lakers Girl.
