This is a theme found in works from all over the world, though probably the best known is the "Cinderella" rags-to-riches story.

The Makeover most commonly results in a change in appearance, but it has other forms. A Training Montage, for example, is a kind of makeover. The Makeover is also a major source of Character Development, as the physical transformation has an impact on the personality of the character, for better or for worse.
