Plan B a 'sex symbol'? Music's best makeovers

It wasn't long ago that Plan B was a very angry, rather chubby young man. Never seen without a hoodie, he rose to success on his musical talent, not his boyish good looks.

In recent years however, Ben Drew has undergone something of a makeover - as was demonstrated at his headline performance at last night's iTunes festival show at the Camden Roundhouse. The rapper/singer performed in front of screaming female fans, and his casual look was a far cry from the urban sportswear of his early appearance - and even the suited look he adopted for breakthrough album, The Defamation Of Strickland Banks.

Makeovers are all part of the music industry however, with men and women, rock and pop stars spending years making sure they're at their most attractive - and commercially appealing. Remember how Cheryl Cole once looked? She wasn't always the perfectly groomed star she is now.
