* [[Characters/HarryPotterTheTrio Hermione Granger]] in the Literature/{{Harry Potter}} series, particularly the winter ball in ''Literature/{{Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire}}''. The movies [[UpToEleven take this to eleven]] of course, since {{Emma Watson}} turned out to be a megababe.

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', Setsuna's feelings for Konoka always lay [[BodyguardCrush in that sort of direction]], but it's implied that she first consciously realised how attractive Konoka had become when she saw her dressed up in a [[KimonoFanservice fancy kimono]] in cinema town. [[TransparentCloset Not that she was willing to acknowledge it just yet...]]

* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/93809/a-pleasant-surprise A Pleasant Surprise,]] both Fluttershy and Midnight have this reaction to each other, given that they haven't met in years. Fluttershy didn't expect him to have grown up to be adorkable, and Midnight had no diea that Fluttershy had gone from cute to amazing.

* In the ''HarryPotter'' FanFic ''Fanfic/AfterTheEnd'', everyone is surprised to suddenly find out Eloise Midgen has become ''extremely'' attractive. Also Colin Creevey has become rather tall and good looking.

* A mild version on [[{{FriEnds}} Friends]] between Monica and Chandler, though only a year passes between their first and second meeting. It's more "she's lost a ton of weight" than "she's all grown up". But his reaction certainly fits.

* A more platonic and gender-swapped variant of this trope is seen in the first episode in the original Japanese dub of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', with old friends Hikari and Takeru. Upon their reunion (after a couple of years of not having seen each other) Hikari compliments Takeru by saying that "You've gotten taller." Of course, easily-jealous Daisuke--and [[{{Shipping}} Takeru/Hikari]] fans--had a less platonic interpretation of this observation.

* [[GenderFlip Gender flipped]] in ''Series/SisterSister''. Tia and Tamera's neighbor Roger was always trying to get a date/a kiss/SOMETHING from either one of them and they'd always blow him off with "[[CatchPhrase Go home, Roger]]!" Over one summer however, he goes through puberty, turns into a hunk ("from AS IF...to ALL THAT!"), and the girls spend an episode fighting over him before realizing they'd still rather just be friends with him.

* Subject of the song "Happy Birthday Sweet Sixteen" by Neil Sedaka.

* In the words of ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'''s Battler Ushiromiya: [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/umineko_no_naku_koro_ni_episode_1_legend_of_the_golden_witch/v01/c002/21.html "Jessica has breasts now!"]] Likewise, much of the family is surprised to see that Battler's a tall {{bishonen}} now ([[HandsomeLech if a horny, immature one]]).

[[folder:Film]]

* One of the most interesting bits of ''TokimekiMemorial 2''. The game features an interactive prologue where the protagonist is in grade school, and meets the various female characters as children. After the prologue, the protagonist moves out of town, and is only reunited with his childhood friends when he starts high school (the game proper): naturally, they're all grown up. The protagonist and Hikari, [[ChildhoodFriendRomance his closest childhood friend]], regularly have discussions of how much and in which way they have changed, throughout the storyline. Also, if the protagonist is a Track & Field Club member, and sees Hikari if [[ThePeepingTom he peeks at the girls' bathroom]] during Summer Training Camp, he'll make a comment on how much she has grown physically.

* A platonic variation: In ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', Charlotte's reaction to Tiana in the blue dress (which Charlotte loaned her after a costume ruining) is half this, half SheCleansUpNicely.
---> "Look at ''you''. Why, you're just as pretty as... a magnolia in May."

* [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend Nala]] in ''Disney/TheLionKing''.
** Kiara in the sequel.
*** Though Kiara seems to react more to "he's grown up" than Kovu does to her when the first reunite.
* A somewhat wacky version in ''[[BrotherBear Brother Bear 2]]''. By the time Kenai meets his childhood friend Nita again, she's a pretty young bride-to-be, and he's a bear. [[spoiler:It works out in the end; Nita becomes a bear in order to stay with him.]]

* Happens to Princess Odette in the [[TheMovie animated version]] of ''TheSwanPrincess''. With the added twist that she and Prince Derek were [[ArrangedMarriage engaged]] from an early age, but couldn't stand each other because she was an incorrigible tomboy and he thought [[GirlsHaveCooties girls had cooties]].

* ''{{Runaways}}'' has done this a couple of times:

* Naruto and Hinata in ''Twice Shy'' (sequel to ''Two Halves''). Long story short, Tsunade convinced an old student of hers to take Naruto and Hinata for training during the time skip. They come back and well... Hinata has more confidence, doesn't stutter and wears modest clothes that don't hide her figure. Naruto thinks before he talks, eats a balanced diet, is less impulsive and (due to the proper diet and training during time skip) is 6 feet tall and ripped.

** Speaking of Julia Ormond films, that Indian girl from ''LegendsOfTheFall'' also counts. She even marries Tristan.

* In Manga/DNAngel, Rika decides to go check on Daisuke after me mysteriously collapsed in the middle of school. After getting flustered at the sight of his [[BeautifulDreamer sleeping face]], Riku notes that Daisuke looks a bit more mature than she remembers him being, and that it's only a matter of time before he turns into a full-blown {{bishonen}}.
