SHE’S DROPPED TWO DRESS SIZES AND UNDERGONE AN IMAGE OVERHAUL IN JUST EIGHT WEEKS. WE REVEAL THE CRACK TEAM BEHIND MS SPEARS’ TRANSFORMATION…

 

This was a sight we thought we’d never see again: Britney Spears, skin glowing, eyes bright and with a body that could have featured in one of her pre-meltdown music videos.

It’s no wonder her miraculous transformation caused a stir when she stole the show at an A-list LA charity bash last month.

This was a woman who was more likely to be pictured wearing day-old make-up and dirty denims than looking like a fully paid-up member of the A-list.

In the past 18 months the star has gone from America’s one-time sweetheart to an out-of-shape and off-the-rails wreck.

There was the head-shaving incident and the shots of her being strapped to an ambulance stretcher for her own safety.

But after the recent red-carpet do we were left in no doubt that Britney, 26, is well and truly back.

How has she gone from flab to fab in such a short space of time?

Britters has drafted in a dedicated team – and banished bad influences – to get her body, hair and life back in tip-top shape.

Step 1

THE HUNKY TRAINER

Just months ago, Britney’s bulging belly sparked rumours the star was pregnant for a third time – but the only thing she was carrying was a few extra pounds.

Since then she has dropped two dress sizes, from a 14 to a 10, and her love handles have gone.

The man responsible for this dramatic reinvention is hunky personal trainer Marc Corliss.

He has banned the junk food Britney loves in favour of six protein-packed mini meals a day, and has put her on an intensive workout which sees her doing 500 crunches every day as well as spinning classes and weight training at Bally’s Gym in LA where he works.

His constant presence at her side has even led to unfounded rumours of a romance.

He says: “She’s a real go-getter, super upbeat and fun to be around. With her dance background, she’s already in better shape than most people.”

 

Step 2

THE SUPER STYLIST

Britney has turned to celebrity dresser Lisa Kline, whose boutique in LA is frequented by A-list actresses Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler and Halle Berry.

“Britney wants to shed her ‘trailer trash’ image,” an insider reveals.

“She’s fed up with topping the ‘worst dressed’ lists and is now looking for clothes that suit her body.”

 

Step 3

THE HAIR HERO

Desperate to restore her hair to its former glory after shaving it off, Britney turned to celebrity stylist Kim Vo, who counts Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson among his clients.

He has spent countless hours nurturing Britney’s natural hair while it regrows, as well as maintaining her extensions.

Of her striking new blonde look, Kim says: “We wanted to brighten it up a bit.”
