We did not see this coming! It turns out it hasn’t just been Naya Rivera’s career that has blossomed since Glee — the actress actually looks nearly unrecognizable from her younger self.

Fans of Glee can choose the songs for 100th episode! >>

E! News has gently pointed out the transformation, but we had to see it for ourselves to believe it. Yup, Rivera definitely doesn’t look like a little girl anymore. To be honest, she looks like a brand new person. The photo on the left was taken in 2006, when Naya was just a fresh-faced 19-year-old, and clearly shows the actress’s fuller face as well as a mole under her lower lip. We may have spotted a much smaller chest as well.

Rivera had the mole removed before working on Glee but denied have any plastic surgery. We might be a little skeptical about that, or maybe the actress just has access to some pretty advanced push-up bras. Who knows? One thing is clear: Naya was gorgeous since infancy.

Before nabbing the role of Santana Lopez, Rivera appeared in several episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters and Smart Guy. What do you think of her transformation? Do you think it’s all natural?
