Fans may have fallen in love with Raven-Symone as little Olivia on The Cosby Show and in Hanging With Mr. Cooper, The Cheetah Girls and That’s So Raven, but in the past year the 25-year-old has made some of her most dramatic changes yet! She dropped a reported 35 pounds (a body change she shrugged off noting to People magazine, "I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did, so whatever”), has been making glamorous appearances on the red carpet and at an August 2011 Disney event she even shed her signature weave and sported a short natural Afro.  

The starlet recently Tweeted pictures of herself at a photo shoot at Keith Munyan studios where she morphed, yet again, into a dark and edgy vixen. It’s a stark contrast from her sweet Disney characters, with Raven sporting punk rock inspired eye makeup and giving the camera seductive stares.

As she makes a return to the screen in ABC’s upcoming showThe Great State of Georgia, it will be interesting to see Raven, who can carry any trend or hairstyle and remain comfortable in her own skin, continue to evolve off-screen.
