Susan Boyle Gets Glamorous Makeover for Harper's Bazaar Photo Shoot

Susan Boyle hasn’t just gotten a makeover, she’s become a glammed-up fashionista!
The "Britain’s Got Talent" star made headlines for having a great voice, albeit an older, dowdy look. But as celebrity has taken hold, that has all changed. In the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Boyle looks fabulous in a chic formal dress, as well as everyday dresses — although she says this is not her usual attire at all. She also has a new hairdo! Check out the pictures here. This was Boyle’s first-ever solo photo shoot. The Scottish star also talks about what her life is now like after it was literally turned upside down by overnight fame.
"It does feel unreal," she says. "It will take a bit of adjusting to because I’ve led a sheltered life, I know. I’ve got life experience, but mentally I have to adjust. But it’s all good. All good." Asked by Harper’s Bazaar if she’s glad she auditioned for the show, she says, amazed: "Come on! It goes without saying. Come on now!" And who does she want to meet, if she had choice of any celebrity in the world? Madonna and Donny Osmond!
Boyle now lives in London and is working on an album to be released in November. She had a bit of a rough time dealing with her success right after her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" captured hearts around the world. She has entered a world she never thought possible. But now, she’s bravely and confidently putting one foot in front of the other and taking hold of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Congratulations, Susan!

Thank you so much for this lovely article on Susan Boyle. She looks so happy and excited with her new life - so wonderful to see that.
How incredibly beautiful Susan is! She has inner beauty, and now is looking gorgeous as well. I love listening to her speak, and to think we will soon have her CD to brighten our lives. She is magnificent!
Wonderful photos! What I liked was that the stylists did not try to "transform" Ms. Boyle, but merely enhanced her sweet, pleasant face and comfortable body. Her makeup was discreet and subtle, the new hairstyle flattering and realistic, and the choice of clothing was wonderful. She looked super in the Donna Karan! (But then Donna has always designed for women with real bodies: bosoms, hips and all.)
I can’t wait for Boyle’s album to be released - it has been top of my MUST HAVE list since I saw her amazing YouTube video. Go Susan! There are millions of fans cheering you on, you little glamourpuss.
Susan looks lovely, and more importantly, she looks happy! I’m so happy for her I could cry. Best of luck, Susan. Can’t wait for your CD and until you come to the U.S.
