Kate Gosselin's Extreme Transformation
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
We watched her go from soccer mom to media darling -- with a trim figure and sassy 'do to boot.
Now, she'll be facing her biggest transformation yet -- becoming a single mom.
As reported by People magazine, the reality show parents have filed for divorce. The couple also made the big announcement on last night's episode.
This will undoubtedly be a tough time for all involved (and there are many involved), but if there's one thing that won't get lost in the shuffle, it's Kate's style.
Check out just how far she's come in the style evolution (below).

Just last year, she and Jon were the picture of suburban happiness, with preppy clothes and a house full of adorable children. And a hit TV show, of course.

In fact, in October 2008, the couple renewed their wedding vows in a fabulous and romantic ceremony.

However, 2009 seems to be the beginning of the end of their relationship. But not Kate's style! She's one hot mama, and now that she's single, watch out!

Kate's learned that, just because the show's cameras are off, that doesn't mean the paparazzi will give her a pass. She keeps casual and cool with comfy clothes that fit and flatter. And you know what? Ball caps, when not worn all the time, are a fun way to hide a bad hair day.

"Use dark eyeliner for a smoldering look he won't be able to resist. Apply blush to contour your face so your cheeks won't look fat. Use lip gloss for a sexy pout."

Ever since the TLC craze died down sometime in the mid 90's, we haven't seen a whole lot of the girls. Obviously there was Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' tragic death in a car accident. But aside from bad news, they've been flying under the radar. The group has had a few major musical projects since then, but nothing too popular. So it looks like Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas decided to try something new. She's now designing handbags.

Lately I have found myself watching TLC (The Learning Channel) a lot, perhaps its the lack of decent television in the summer months or else I just want to learn a thing or two. Problem is, I ain't learning squat. What I have learned is that TLC is in desperate need of a new programmer.
