2025 is all about transformation and Belly Conklin had one from The Summer I Turned Pretty—a glow-up that’s emotional, physical, and personal— she become the best version of yourself inside and out. Belly’s transformation wasn’t just about looks; it was about confidence, growing up, experiencing new emotions, and stepping into her own identity.
🌸 1. Understand Belly’s Transformation Arc
Before diving into steps, let’s define what her transformation included:
• Physical glow-up: Belly went from “the little sister” vibe to turning heads that summer. She subtly enhanced her appearance, but never overdid it—her glow was natural.
• Confidence & self-worth: She started realizing her value and stopped chasing approval.
• Romantic evolution: Belly was torn between childhood love and new attention, but what mattered most was learning to value herself first.
• Personal growth: She grew emotionally—facing grief, first love, heartbreak, and growing pains.
💄 2. The Physical Glow-Up (Soft, Natural, Effortless Beauty)
Belly’s look is natural, summery, and girl-next-door with a hint of romance.
✨ Skin
• Focus on glowing skin: Exfoliate 1–2 times per week, hydrate with lightweight moisturizers, and wear sunscreen daily.
• Use tinted moisturizer or BB cream for light coverage.
• Add a peachy or pink cream blush and a soft highlighter on cheekbones and nose.
✨ Hair
• Go for the “I just went to the beach” look:
• Soft waves or natural texture (you can braid overnight or use a curling wand).
• Hair oils or salt sprays can add that effortless touch.
• Consider curtain bangs or subtle layers for a youthful vibe.
✨ Body Confidence
• Posture and body care go a long way:
• Dry brushing + body moisturizer for smooth skin.
• Light toning workouts: Pilates, yoga, long walks.
• Wear cute summer fits that fit YOUR shape—think breezy dresses, shorts, crop tops, sandals.
✨ Outfits (Belly’s Summer Style)
• Light, flirty, feminine, and a little tomboyish sometimes.
Staples:
• Sundresses
• Denim shorts
• Knit tanks
• Button-downs over swimsuits
• Dainty jewelry
• Color palette: whites, soft pinks, blues, creams.
💕 3. Build Belly-Level Confidence
Belly started to shine when she realized she was beautiful, not when others told her.
🌟 How to Build It:
• Romanticize your life: Play music, take yourself out, act like you’re the main character.
• Be proud of your “awkward” past—Belly didn’t erase who she was; she evolved her.
• Stop waiting to be picked—Focus on choosing yourself.
• Walk into a room like people already love you. Belly did that by summer.
📖 4. Embrace a Coming-of-Age Mentality
Belly’s journey is about becoming, not perfection. She’s a bit unsure, sometimes messy—but that’s real.
🌱 Emotional Growth:
• Write letters to your younger self: Let go of childhood insecurities.
• Start journaling your thoughts and feelings—romanticize them like they’re part of your movie.
• Don’t suppress emotions—feel things deeply like Belly did. Cry, love, laugh, make mistakes.
💌 5. Level Up Socially & Romantically (Without Losing Yourself)
Belly didn’t chase validation forever—she learned that being wanted isn’t the same as being loved for who you are.
💫 Friendship & Social Tips:
• Say yes more often. Try new things—even if you’re shy.
• Hang out with people who see your worth.
• Be open, but protect your energy. Not everyone deserves the new you.
💘 Romantic Energy:
• Don’t shrink yourself for male attention. Glow naturally.
• Belly attracted attention after she let go of chasing it.
• Eye contact, soft smiles, and showing up confidently are more powerful than chasing.
