Russian singer Julia Volkova has totally transformed since she steamed up the charts more than 20 years ago.
The star and her Tatu bandmate Lena Katina had a hit back in 2002 with All The Things She Said, which topped the charts in several places including the UK. But it was accompanying the music video – which saw them dressed as schoolgirls and sharing a sizzling kiss – that really got people talking.
The pair locked lips in the rain in the clip and it sparked a lot of controversy. They later repeated the smooch on other occasions when they performed on stage, but it was later revealed to be more of a marketing tactic than anything else.

Now, 22 years later, Julia looks completely different to ger Tatu days. Recent snaps on Instagram show her with much longer dark hair than the short pixie cut she used to sport. And gone are the pleated skirts and school ties, with the star leaning towards more sophisticated looks.
One recent shot showed Julia in black leggings and a green t-shirt, with her dark hair falling around her face in a sleek bob. Standing in front of a grey sofa, she had one hand resting on her hip as she posed up a storm.
Fans were impressed with her chic look, calling the singer “beautiful”. “Omg, is that really you!!?” asked one admirer. “Tatu?? Wow. Loved your songs.”
“My crush,” someone else said in the comments section, as another fan called her “a queen”. “My favourite, love you, my princess,” said someone else.
“You’re still the prettiest woman in the world,” said another fan. “A beautiful soul, a beautiful heart and a beautiful body.” “You are wonderful,” penned one fan. Somebody else called the brunette a “sweet princess”.
Others said they would like to see Julia and Lena making music together again. “Of course it would be nice if you and Lena sing again together,” one posted. Another pleased: “New Tatu album?”
