RHOC Star Vicki Gunvalson's Beauty Evolution

She's come a looooooong way since we first met her. Highlights, spray tans, face lifts, and a million swipes of lip gloss have made Vicki the OG of the OC that we all know and love—take a trip down The Real Housewives of Orange County memory lane with us as we revisit some of her standout looks.

2004

The OC's original gal stepped onto the Bravo scene extension-less and fresh faced...for about five minutes.

2006

How young does Vick look here?! Pre-plastic surgery, Bravo's leading reality lady could almost pass for your average housewife. (Almost)

2007

Now we're talking. A little more tan, a little more glam, Vicki's hair is lighter, her teeth are brighter, and she's starting to morph into a Bravolebrity.

2008

"Pat your weave ladies!" We all know the housewives love themselves some fake hair (and their own hair line), but Vick's 'do was a little too Paula Deen here.

2010

Flipped-out hair and a mega cross moment—classic #RHOC swag.

2009

Kudos for getting your tresses in check, but let's not get carried away with the spray tan and bronzer.

2010

Giving us a smoke show with those eyes!

2011

The hair could use a better stylist here... We love us some VG, but not her best look.

2012

Slade may have been one of the reasons Vicki decided to go under the knife, but her skin actually looks flawless here!

And her Orange County blonde gets an A+ for a custom blend.

2012

#1 rule to live by—make sure your face makeup matches your neck and the rest of your body. Better luck next time, VG.

And then there was the face lift...

2013

She may have caught flack for having "a little work done," but we stand by the approach, "hey, if it makes you happy..."

2013

Now that things have, er, settled so to speak, Vicki seems to be loving her new look and we think her hair has never looked better! Now, get back to filming.
