Ashlee Simpson Makeover: Fab Or Fail?

It’s not easy stepping out of a big sister’s shadow, especially when it belongs to curvy bombshell Jessica Simpson. After a grungy wardrobe and an ever-changing head of hair failed to help her stand out in a sea of pop stars, Ashlee Simpson slipped under the knife in 2006 to slim down her nose. The rhinoplasty inspired an entire makeover (including a new wardrobe and some dropped pounds), and Ashlee went from little sister to big-time beauty over night.

The starlet remained mum on her decision for a while, but finally opened up to Us Magazine in 2008. When asked about her new nose, she coyly cooed, “I think as long as people have two eyes, then you probably know the answer.” Regarding her decision to slice up her skin for a new-and-improved face, Mrs. Wentz declared, “[Plastic surgery] is something that everybody should think about for a really long time. Once you know it’s something you really feel comfortable with, then to each their own.” Has Ashlee’s transformation from grunge to sculpted chic been a success?
