People Post Their 10 Year Then and Now Transformations On Twitter And Here Are 30 Of The Best

Ten-year glow-ups always get people talking, and this Twitter thread turned that nostalgia into a full-on transformation parade. What started with one user sharing a then-and-now photo quickly snowballed into thousands of replies from people eager to show how much can change in a decade.

Mari, a 26-year-old book critic, kicked off the challenge by posting her own comparison, and Twitter users jumped in with everything from subtle style upgrades to dramatic life-overhaul moments. Since so many users are in the age range that spent the 2010s growing up, the results feel especially personal.

Some of these photos are funny, some are surprising, and a few are downright hard to believe. Read on.
