Angelababy's 13‑year‑old photos spark surprise on Weibo

On July 24, the Chinese social platform Weibo experienced a wave of attention after users shared a series of photographs of actress Angelababy taken when she was 13 years old. The pictures quickly rose to the top of search results, and many netizens remarked that they barely recognized the teenager compared with her current appearance.

Viewers highlighted her bright smile, round eyes and typical teenage features, describing the images as cute and natural. The resurgence of the photos also revived discussion of earlier rumors about cosmetic surgery; Angelababy has previously clarified that her dramatic change resulted from orthodontic treatment, weight loss, makeup and skincare rather than any surgical procedure.
