#TBT: Remember When Justin Bieber Looked Like This?
Although he’s just 22, Justin Bieber has had a career that most musicians only dream of. After being discovered by Usher on YouTube, the baby-faced Biebs became a tween sensation, spawning tons of “Beliebers” who swooned over his purple hoodies, signature hair swoop, and dulcet tones.
Bieber’s squeaky-clean image, however, underwent a major evolution in recent years (as did his music) as he began to grow up in the public eye. A DUI, multiple tattoos, some angsty ‘tude, and a drastic haircut later, Bieber reemerged and established himself as a legit musician with a much broader fan base.
But it wasn’t just his music that got a change—his style underwent a major overhaul as well. He traded his hoodies in for chains and snapbacks and exchanged his signature flow for a bleached-blonde ‘do, and later, dreadlocks.
