Michelle Keegan’s jaw-dropping style evolution from sweet girl-next-door obsessed with fake tan to stunning fashionista

MICHELLE Keegan has come a long way since her days as a soap newcomer with a love of fake tan and back-combed hair. 

The fashionista, 33, has undergone a striking style evolution over the years, and now is almost as known for her jaw-dropping style as her on-screen moments.

This week, the Our Girl star shared a sultry snap of her wearing knee-high boots and a very mini skirt. 

And this followed Michelle sending fans wild when she unveiled chicest EVER Very range.

It was worlds apart from how we first saw Michelle when she started Coronation Street, with giant hoop earrings and a bright layer of tan. 

Here’s how Michelle’s style has developed over the years...

Michelle burst onto our screens in 2007, when she landed the role of Tina in Coronation Street.

She had previously worked at an airport check-in desk but left all this behind for a life in front of the camera.

Tina's hoop earrings and scraped back hair may not have been Michelle's personal taste, but it's how we first saw the actress.

2009

Now a Corrie name, Michelle started getting comfortable to red carpet life - and this was reflected in her style.

The young actress happily embraced stilettos and mini dresses for public events and ensured all eyes were on her.

For Michelle, it was all about big hair, big hoops and sparkly outfits - a far cry from her sleek look of today.

Michelle underwent a style transformation after meeting future husband Mark Wright in Dubai in 2012.

Michelle still looked striking, but the hair was sleeker and the make-up more glam.

2013

Michelle and Mark went public with their romance in May 2013 at the British Soap Awards - and Michelle looked super glamorous in a glistening champagne dress and a blow dry to match.

By this time, Michelle was developing her signature style, and opting for more sophisticated gowns and looks.

Michelle's Our Girl show first aired in 2013, and she would leave her Corrie role in 2014.

2016

The naturally brunette star shocked fans in 2016 at the Revlon masquerade ball when she showed off bombshell platinum locks.

People were divided as to whether they liked the look, with some saying she should keep it, and others on the fence.

It was revealed that the blonde hair was needed for her new Tina & Bobby role and wouldn't be a permanent fixture.

2017

By 2017, Michelle was comfortable in her glam style and happily planning her wedding to Mark, which would take place in 2018.

Michelle was pictured at the Brit Awards in a stylish blue jumpsuit, with a black belt around the waist.

The look was simple but glamorous, with her shorter locks in loose curls.
