The transition from child stardom to mature actor is a tricky journey, one successfully navigated by many of today’s most popular celebrities. But some popular teens—not all of them Disney affiliated—have employed particularly aggressive methods in the effort to distance themselves from the family-friendly characters they once played. And it’s not always pretty.

But as Aguilera shifted away from the teenybopper sound, she decided to sexify her look as well. Enter the “Dirrty” era, one of the most aggressive Disney transitions ever recorded. As if wearing panty-bearing chaps ever helped anyone find credibility.
