Rebel Wilson unveils glamorous makeover, fans say she looks 10 years younger

Rebel Wilson stunned fans this week after unveiling a glamorous makeover on Instagram, sharing a sequence of photos that showed her with voluminous blonde hair extensions and a flawless makeup look. The 45-year-old Australian actress appeared dramatically different from recent public appearances, prompting many to comment that she looked younger and unrecognizable to some followers.

The posts, published on Tuesday, featured Wilson with full, glossy makeup and a sweep of hair that cascaded past her shoulders. Several fans compared her to pop peers, with comments noting similarities to Avril Lavigne and Kelly Osbourne. One commenter wrote, “Thought that was Kelly Osbourne for a minute,” while another added, “You look 10 years younger.” Others praised the transformation as “gorgeous” and “insane.”

Beyond the glamour, the look appears to coincide with Wilson’s ongoing health and weight-management journey. The actor has long discussed changes to her eating habits and activity levels after a period of weight loss, including a notable drop of more than 36 kilograms (around 80 pounds) since 2021. In recent weeks, she has hinted at a renewed effort to curb sweet treats after an Easter indulgence, noting that her first days of a chocolate- and ice-cream-reduction plan were challenging but ultimately yielded progress.

Earlier this year, Wilson confirmed she had been shaping up after acknowledging a lapse in self-control over Easter, a period she described publicly to illustrate the ongoing nature of her health journey. She has spoken openly about the role of discipline and lifestyle changes in maintaining weight loss, emphasizing that the goal of any new challenge is long-term habits rather than a quick fix. In her posts and interviews, she has credited walking, high-intensity workouts, and guidance from a personal trainer for helping her stay active while managing calories.

Wilson has also been candid about the broader conversation around weight-loss methods. In a past interview with The Sunday Times, she discussed the potential benefits and limitations of weight-loss drugs, saying that medications such as Ozempic or similar therapies can be appropriate for people with a strong appetite for sweets. “Someone like me could have a bottomless appetite for sweets, so I think those drugs can be good,” she said, reflecting on the complex choices involved in weight management. She has also acknowledged that her Pitch Perfect contract previously restricted weight loss.

The Pitch Perfect franchise ended in 2017, and Wilson later said that, after the film series concluded, she focused on her health and became a mother. She welcomed a daughter, Royce, via surrogacy, and co-parents with wife Ramona Agruma. The latest makeover post adds another facet to Wilson’s public narrative about balancing professional work, motherhood, and a long-running effort to maintain a healthier lifestyle. As she continues to share moments from her life with fans, observers will likely watch for how the transformation influences her public appearances and future projects.
