Star Jones: Fashion Transformation
Into Her Own
2001: The Girl from Jersey
Do you remember this Star Jones? This is how she first came into the world of fame, fashion and fortune: Frumpy jacket, no personal style and overweight. Little did we know what she had in store for us on the professional and fashion fronts.

2002: Someone Upgrade Her
Here in a two-tone Hawaiian Silky weave, and shades that look like they were purchased from a street vendor, she has yet to embody the stylish maven she will become. During this time, Star was struggling with insecurity over being in the limelight, leading to over-eating.

2004: The Lady Who Lunches
Two years later, Star has learned to put herself together when going before the press. By this time, she has also become the face of Payless Shoes. Jones has a more toned-down and camera-ready look, with refined hair and coordinated accessories. Thank goodness.

The Reveal
2004: New Body, New Man
Was it meeting the sharp Al Reynolds that led to her massive transformation? She met the love of her life at about this time and started showing that body! Although she denied it for years, Star Jones recently revealed that she had the gastric bypass surgery back in 2003.

2004: Career Woes to Come
Al and Star tied the knot in November 2004. During this time, Jones revealed herself as both an exemplar of style and a fearsome bridezilla. Many believe that her hard bargaining for her wedding tarnished her image in the eyes of her boss, Barbara Walters.

2006: Gastric or Heart Bypass?
During her time between gigs, Jones continued to loose the weight, but had not quite perfected her personal style. Here, she seems too excited to show her slimmer body, exposing a rather terrifying scar, never a wise fashion choice. Plus, her hair is generic and lacks individuality.

2007: Star Victorious
Perhaps in an effort to really perfect her image and come out on top, here we see Star and hubby Al looking the best she has ever looked: sharp hair style, not wearing too little, with perfect shimmering make-up. Perhaps stepping up her style game got her the new CourtTV job? She's loving it.

The Year of Evening Nerd Chic
Eager to put out a new 'I'm Smart' image, Star works glasses with an evening dress. We want to hate, but can't! She has proven that she finally understands the importance of image and the nuances of form and proportion. All the details work.

D'Oh!
But Refined & Crazy for Day
Did we speak too soon? We admit, the idea at the Kentucky Derby is to wear the largest hat possible. Maybe this hat does not work. But, we admire the fact that she has managed to wear a low-cut cocktail dress without re-creating the scar fiasco of a few images back. Work.

Beautiful Lawyer
Star Jones has finally come into her own in her career and in her own skin. Having admitted to her gastric bypass operation at the perfect media moment, she has shown her power as a manipulator of the press and her image as a tool for PR and personal pleasure. Kudos, Star Jones! Kudos!!
