Some things only get better with time. This is certainly not an endorsement to go “Tyga Style” and search for underage enjoyment (allegedly).
But every generation had their kid’s shows, and an entire crop of stars from the ‘90s have matured into fully grown women.
If you were a kid back when they were on the screen, then these 14 child actresses who grew into eye candy are now age appropriate. No shame in leering or at least appreciating the growth.

Christina Milian
Before she was dipping it low and making time with Lil Wayne and The-Dream, Christina Milian was a reporter on Disney Channel’s Movie Surfers.
Adrienne Bailon
The former Cheetah Girls co-star has gone from tween-pop success, flirted with scandal, briefly dated a Kardashian and even gotten caught leaking NSFW selfies.
Tinashe
Our favorite Aquarius cut her teeth with bit parts on Avatar: The Last Airbender and Two and a Half Men.
Meagan Good
We had no idea how Nina from Cousin Skeeter would turn into the fine specimen that is Meagan Good, but 2000’s “Do My…” video by Memphis Bleek was a great indication of things to come.
Keke Palmer
Between hosting her own talk show, locking down Broadway roles, and adding credible fare to her post-tween acting resume, it’s almost hard to believe Keke Palmer was the same actress from Akeelah And The Bee.
Danielle Fishel
The sheer randomness of Topanga from Boy Meets World haphazardly chilling with Donald Glover towards the end of Clapping For The Wrong Reasons is kind of mind-blowing.
Megan Fox
Before she was being crowned the Sexiest Woman Alive and popping up in various states of undress on GQ and Esquire covers, Megan Fox was a young actress on Two and a Half Men and What I Like About You.
Tia and Tamera Mowry
If you were born in the early ‘80s or after, then you probably suffered through Sister, Sister just to stare at Tia and Tamera. Luckily, The Game served half of that same function much later with a better script to boot.
Tatyana Ali
Don’t feel bad about looking at the woman who was once Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’s Ashley Banks “that way.” She’s a 36-year-old Ivy League grad. Leering is appropriate now.
Vanessa Hudgens
Your favorite one-weekend-a-year Coachella hippie started out on the extremely tame High School Musical franchise. But it wasn’t long before she graduated to also getting caught sending selfies in the buff and joining the rated-R circuit with Spring Breakers.
Janet Jackson
Yeah, Penny caught the rawest of raw deals on Good Times and Diff’rent Strokes. But in real life Ms. Jackson was continually winning, and there were times we all felt like Jermaine Dupri. No tattoo action, but still…
Scarlett Johansson
Once upon a time, Scarlett Johansson was a basic kid actor in Home Alone 3 and The Horse Whisperer. These days she’s busting out of that tight suit in Avengers and generally making men thirsty.
