Let’s take our minds back to 2008 for just a moment.

Kevin Rudd was our Prime Minister, Quentin Bryce was made the first Governor General of Australia and classic naughties artists Usher and Ne-Yo were in their hey-day.

And while we’ll never forget iconic tunes like Love in this Club and Miss Independent, there was another unforgettable moment that occurred in Australia which marked the beginning of what can only be described as a glowing legacy.

We are of course, talking about Margot Robbie’s debut episode on Neighbours, marking the first time the country properly clapped eyes on the stunning Queenslander.

Indeed the character of Donna Freedman was a riveting one, and not just because she was played by the blonde beauty.

Described as “kooky” by publications at the time of her character airing, Donna was a force to be reckoned with on Ramsay Street – and it would be safe to say the actress herself has followed suit.

Here, we unveil Margot’s incredible beauty journey, from a fresh faced teen to stunning Hollywood actress.

Grab the popcorn – this one will have you riveted.
