Love her or hate her, there's no denying that controversial Dancing With the Stars Season 15 All-Stars contestant Bristol Palin is all grown up.

Comparing these pictures of Bristol — one from back on Season 11, one from the All-Stars premiere — it's easy to see how her look has changed. She's slimmed down, toned up, gotten “corrective jaw surgery,” and dyed her hair a bolder, darker shade.

And the change isn't just superficial. It's clear that Bristol has blossomed since the last time she hit the DWTS ballroom; her confidence is way up, and nowhere is that clearer than in her performance.

Compare Bristol's Cha-Cha-Cha from the All-Stars premiere to her Season 11 Semi-finals Paso Doble, which was one of her best performances from her first season. It's clear Bristol has reinvented herself.
