The Bachelor stars’ dramatic transformations revealed

A bevy of beauties are hoping to capture the heart of Australian Survivor star Locklan ‘Locky’ Gilbert on the current season of The Bachelor. 

And ahead of their reality TV debut this week, several stars underwent a remarkable beauty transformation.

From redhead Zoe-Clare McDonald’s once blonde tresses to Bella Varelis’ changing style, Daily Mail Australia shares some striking before and after photos.

Is that you, Zoe-Clare? The 23-year-old self-declared 'oppressed ranga' hasn't always had flame-coloured locks, once debuting fair blonde hair (pictured)

Zoe-Clare McDonald 

The 23-year-old self-declared ‘oppressed ranga’ hasn’t always had flame-coloured locks, once debuting fair blonde hair. 

She dyed her tresses in early 2018 and posted numerous pictures of herself on Instagram at the time. 

But her walk on the lighter side only lasted a year, as she reverted to her natural colour in March 2019.

Charley Bond

The 25-year-old teacher debuted her Barbie doll-like features and curly platinum tresses on Wednesday night’s premiere.

But the educated beauty hasn’t always had blonde ambition, opting for a more natural and pared-back look.

However, the brunette bombshell looked remarkably different back in 2015, when working as a junior fashion editor for Australia’s Dolly magazine.

Tagged photos on Juliette’s Instagram see her posing with celebrities, including Gigi Hadid, and drawing attention to a conservative sense of style and fresh-faced look. 

She has since grown her locks and enhanced her features with intense makeup.

The 29-year-old mechanical engineer impressed the Bachelor with her sex appeal during the group photo shoot on Thursday night’s episode.

Aside from her confident persona, she has also turned heads thanks to her tattooed arm sleeves, ample cleavage and cropped blonde locks.

Irena Srbinovska

The 31-year-old nurse is already a front runner in the season, alongside Bella Varelis. 

Greeting Locklan for the first time on Wednesday’s episode, Irena grabbed his attention with her tousled blonde locks, elegant makeup and princess-like ball gown.

But the Melbourne-based contestant actually has a more down-to-earth and adventurous side, if her previous Instagram posts are anything to go by.

Photos taken last year see Irena paring back her makeup look, allowing her tresses to flow more freely and exploring the sights abroad. 

Bella Varelis

The 25-year-old marketing professional earned herself a solo date with Locklan on Thursday’s episode, the envy of her co-stars.

Locklan admitted to being drawn to her big brown eyes and girl-next-door charm.
