She shot to fame as bad girl but today Angelina Jolie is a polished and sophisticated mother of six.

Gone are the days of a tattooed goth who wore a vial of her husband’s blood around her neck. Now, Angelina is more famous for her humanitarian work and stellar acting career.

During her years in the spotlight, the Hollywood star has transformed her life and her look – the black hair, heavy eyeliner and gothic clothes have been replaced by golden locks, minimal makeup and soft, flowy gowns.

Today, on her 40th birthday, we take a look back at Angelina’s changing face and style.
