History Main / MakeoverMontage

* ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'': Helga does this to herself because she's sick of people forgetting she's a girl. The episode ends with her realizing why she always avoids this girly stuff -- it's stupid.

Voila, SheIsAllGrownUp! Often [[BrokenAesop hypocritically paired]] with BeYourself, as the glamorous version the person has never been before is [[BeautifulAllAlong their true self all along]], really! Compare LipstickAndLoadMontage. Comedic ones likely have a heavy overlap with an ImprobableHairstyleSequence, and/or with DraggedIntoDrag when done to a male character.

* In ''Film/BrideOfChucky'', doll Tiffany dresses herself up using hair dye, black nail polish, makeup, adding a fake mole and even gets a "Chucky" tattoo on her breast and smokes, all to the tune of Music/{{Blondie}}’s "Call Me".

* Another rare male version in ''Film/DontTellHerItsMe'' (alt titled: The Boyfriend School), in which the pre-makeover Gus is post-cancer bald and overweight, but in order to try to seduce the girl of his dreams, he spends months losing weight, exercising, getting tanned, and getting his newly grown hair cut and styled. He also gets a wardrobe change, contacts, and an accent to become the dream guy, Lobo.

%%* ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' with Anne Hathaway.

* In ''Film/AveryBradySequel'', hairstylist Sergio and his coworkers try to give Carol a new hairdo. Her hair proves too stiff to restyle, so she still looks exactly the same at the end of the montage.

%%* Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, in ''Literature/TheDevilWearsPrada''
* [[HollywoodHomely Sandra Bullock]] undergoes one for ''Film/MissCongeniality''. Waxing was involved. Her hair was thinned and trimmed, and her character went from the natural no-makeup look[[note]]which just means very carefully applied, neutral tone makeup in this case[[/note]] to fancy makeup.

* Rare and elusive all-male version in ''Film/EncinoMan'', in which a caveman is miraculously transformed into a goofy 80s teenager by the two guys who found him. Complete with towel turban and bath beads (which, admittedly, [[ExtremeOmnivore the caveman ate]]).

* The beginning of ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' has the titular character get “primped and polished” for her appointment with the local matchmaker. Since this test will evaluate her skills as a ProperLady and potential bride, she is bathed, has her hair and makeup done, and all dressed up by various groomers to make her look like the ideal Chinese lady. She [[UnwillinglyGirlyTomboy expresses discomfort]] as she is scrubbed clean, has her hair pulled, and [[OfCorsetHurts has her waist squished to make it look smaller]].

* Fern gets a new look and a new name in ''Film/{{Jawbreaker}}'' to keep her silent about Liz's murder.

%%* [[HeterosexualLifePartners Harry and Lloyd]] in ''Film/DumbAndDumber''.

* ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy'' - an entire musical number as Julie Brown gives a (completely unnecessary) makeover to Geena Davis.
%%* A rare male version occurs in ''Film/{{Komaa}}''.
* Creator/RitaHayworth gets one before her photo shoot in ''Film/CoverGirl'' (1944). She doesn't look much different at the end of it, though.

%% * ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' has a rare example of Raven doing this for a ''guy''.
* ''Series/PowerRangersSuperMegaforce'': Emma and Gia, the pink and yellow rangers, take new recruit Orion, the silver ranger, to get some new clothes and a haircut, as the alien was wearing ragged clothing and had let his hair grow out after his home planet had been destroyed by the bad guys.
* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiarsOriginalSin'' has one in Episode 2 when the Liars do their makeup and wear their dresses for the Spirit Week dance, to the sound of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXBdvSj9F2I Bet You Wanna]] by Music/BlackPink.
%% * ''Series/QueerEye''
%% * The ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' episode "Game Night" has one for the creation of [[Creator/NeilPatrickHarris Barney]].

* Parodied in the ''Series/ICarly'' episode ''iGo One Direction,'' where they have a parody of typical teenage girl movie, including a makeover-scene. Considering the main audience of the show, this move was pretty ballsy.

* ''Series/OneHundredThingsToDoBeforeHighSchool'': In "Be a Fairy Godmother Thing!", CJ gives a makeover to a girl named Scout as part of her attempt to be a fairy godmother.

%%* The song "Rainbow High" in TheMusical ''Evita'' is essentially one of these.

* Parodied in the Bone Mouth sketch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=s-bEQOOkk8g "Makeover Montage Goes Awry"]] - [[spoiler: First the recipient of the makeover is murdered by a man lurking in the closet... Then her murderer gets the makeover instead]]

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Uglydolls}}'' puts the montage through a song, "All Dolled Up". Mandy helps the Uglydolls dress up to look like Perfection dolls and blend in, despite the fact that she's insistent that they don't have to do this. [[spoiler:The makeover fails in the end for them, and only ostracizes them further.]]
