Honey Boo Boo unrecognisable as she gets chic makeover for Teen Vogue shoot

Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson looked completely unrecognisable after getting a complete makeover for a Teen Vogue photo shoot.

The reality star, who got famous for her appearance on Toddlers & Tiaras, went full country chic as she posed in different looks.

She is best known for her 'go-go juice' (which is a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew), her sassy catchphrases as well as the family's infamous ketchup and butter spaghetti.

Ahead of her 16th birthday, the star opened up about growing up and growing out of the 'Honey Boo Boo' persona.

"I guess people still expect me to be little Honey Boo Boo and I'm not anymore. Just because I'm from the south, people expect me to be all country bumpkin, out riding four-wheelers all the time, but that's not really how it is," she told the publication.

She also talked about her goals, which included making money, getting straight A's and being the best she can be.

After Toddlers & Tiaras, Alana and her family got their own TLC show called Here Comes Honey Boo Boo where she became an internet sensation.

However, it was cancelled in 2014 but that didn't stop Alana or her mother, Mama June, from getting more TV shows such as Mama June: From Not to Hot.

In March 2019, Mama June was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.

She was arrested for allegedly having crack cocaine and a crack pipe on her.

Alana also opened up about her mother's drug use during her interview with the teen magazine.

"A lot of folks in this world do not realize how many people are actually really affected by drug and alcohol [use]..." she explained.

"It's very, very hard. It's something I'd wish on nobody, for real. When my mama got real bad with her [drug use], I didn't know where I was going to end up. I'm proud of myself for how far I've come."

Mama June, full name June Shannon, then left her daughter Alana heartbroken after she revealed she'd sold their Georgia family home. Alana's sister and guardian Lauryn was forced to break the devastating news at the time.

She said: "I've been trying to find the right time to tell you, Mama sold her house and everything in it."

Alana was left in floods of tears at the news after revealing she hoped to someday live in that very house.

Following years of conflict between the family members, it appears that Alana finally forgave her mum and partner Geno in emotional scenes that aired earlier this year.
