醜小鴨變天鵝 牙套妹6個月逆襲成環球小姐!

These two photographs show the amazing transformation of a Miss Universe beauty queen.

下面兩張照片顯示了一位環球小姐冠軍驚人的轉變。

But the most incredible part of Chalita Suansane's rise to stardom is how quickly she went from geek chic to belle of the ball.

不過，最令人難以置信的部分還是查理塔·蘇安珊逆襲的過程，她以驚人的速度從一名不起眼的學生變成了女神。

The 22-year-old's beauty pageant career only kick-started last year — and she never harbored dreams of being a successful model.

22歲的她去年纔開始參加選美比賽--並且她從未夢想過自己會成爲一名成功的模特。

Taken as recently as a year ago, pictures of Chalita, who was studying microbiology at Mahasarakham University at the time, show how she barely resembles the person she is now.

從一年前還在馬哈沙拉堪大學學習微生物學的查理塔拍的照片上可以看出，那和如今的她可是一點也不像。

Photos from a private album taken within the last year and obtained by MailOnline show she wore thick-rimmed glasses and had braces.

根據她私人相冊裏去年拍的照片以及《每日郵報》獲得的一些照片顯示，她戴着厚厚的有框眼鏡，穿着吊帶。

It was only in July last year that her sister applied for Miss Thailand on her behalf — and it everything changed. So what was the secret of her transformation?

直到去年7月，她的姐姐爲她遞交了泰國小姐比賽的報名表--然後一切都改變了。那麼她成功轉變的祕密是什麼呢？

Chalita said, "I never thought I would ever be a model. My sister just joked that we should send in my resume for the Miss Thailand competition."

查理塔表示：“我從來沒想過我會成爲一名模特。我姐姐只是開玩笑說，我們應該交份簡歷參加泰國小姐比賽。”

"When I applied for Miss Thailand my face didn't change at all. I just did a lot of exercise and lost some weight. The rest was down to make-up, healthy eating and sunbathing. And a few new dresses."

“那個時候我的長相一點也沒變。我只是做了一些鍛鍊減肥。剩下的就是化妝品、健康飲食和日光浴的功勞了。對了，還添置了幾件新衣服。”
