The Bachelor 2020: Juliette Herrera unrecognisable in old photos
Photos of The Bachelor's Juliette Herrera have drawn the attention of fans, who believe she may have undergone a transformation before appearing on the reality show.
In photos from 2015, Juliette looks almost unrecognisable, with the 34-year-old stylist from NSW sporting long caramel-coloured hair and thinner lips.
While it’s highly likely Juliette’s makeover was all down to lighting and make-up, she’s certainly got fans talking.
Juliette, who has been single for 11 years, is currently vying for Bachelor star Locky Gilbert’s heart on the reality show.
Speaking to Channel 10 about why she thinks she’s still single, she said: “I went through some crazy life situations, that forced me to go on a journey of self-discovery and work out what kind of woman I wanted to be.
“Now that I finally feel fulfilled and admire my spirit, I am ready to share that with a special man. I have also spent extended periods of time travelling and living abroad, so had a very bohemian lifestyle.”

Zoe-Clare hasn’t always been a ranga
Juliette isn't the only Bachelor star to switch up her look.
Zoe-Clare McDonald, went on a infamous rant about being a ranga during the first episode of the season and claimed, "I’m proud of being a ranga. I will be a ranga until the day I die."
However, photos of the reality star show that she has previously dyed her hair blonde, so perhaps this is a newfound love of her hair colour?
Zoe-Clare dyed her hair in early 2018 and shared numerous snaps of herself with her blonde hair.
She then switched back to her natural colour in March 2019.
While she has since deleted comments on her social media, a Tweet read, "Fact Check: Zoe-Clare falsely claims 'I will be a ranga until the day I die'. Sources now reveal she was under the influence of peroxide from as early as January 2018 - March 2019."
During Zoe-Clare’s speech on the show about being a redhead, she stated:”I don’t care if you’re black, white, caramel, whatever. Ranga. I want to be here like, you know what – we can win. We can win because I’m not blonde. I’m not brunette. I’m not anything other than what I am. I’m not going to pretend to be. I’m me. And if he likes me, then f*cking awesome."
Gemma’s 22kg weight loss transformation
Fellow Bachelor star Gemma White revealed she went through a different kind of transformation, taking to Instagram to share in 2018 that she had undergone a 22kg weight loss journey from when she was 15 years old.
In one snap, Gemma shared a side-by-side of herself in a school photo alongside a recent snap.
She wrote, "As I turn another year older I thought I'd share something that has taken a lot of courage to do!"
"First you should know BOTH photos have been taken by a professional photographer and BOTH photos have NOT been edited. Yes the most recent photo has professionally done makeup and I have extensions."
She revealed that in the first photo she is almost 15 years old, and about 22kg heavier than she is now, adding it was her turning point.
"The difference is I am now a much happier, healthy and more confident me. I understand the importance of good food and nourishing my body, mind and soul. I exercise because it feels good. I eat well because I feel better for it.
"I try to enjoy the simple things in life and chocolate (in moderation!) when I want it. I've trained myself to be this way, it's taken a hell of a lot of hard work, dedication and determination."
She continued, saying that she has an iron deficiency as well as two autoimmune diseases, but it doesn't stop her from living her "best life".
Gemma wrote, "[I don't] like talking about them as people will always be quick to judge but I believe beauty shines from within. Our external beauty does not shape who we are. It's our hurdles, obstacles, challenges, triumphs and achievements that define us. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way. Let's embrace our individuality!"
She said that because she was bullied and battled with her weight during her time at school, she was inspired to become an ambassador for anti-bullying charity I Can, I Will.
