Naya Rivera is all grown up!

A pre-fame photo of the Glee actress has surfaced, and it appears that the 27-year-old beauty has gone through quite the transformation over the years.

The pic shows Rivera with a large mole on her chin, as well as darker locks and seemingly smaller lips. Despite the change, her inherent charm is nearly palpable in the old-school pic as she beams from ear to ear while showing off her natural beauty in bright orange turtleneck and flared jeans.

Before she shot to superstardom on the hit Fox series, Rivera was a child star, who appeared alongside Eddie Murphy in the series comedy Royal Family, which aired from 1991 to 1992. She was also seen on Family Matters, as well as The Bernie Mac Show and she even appeared in B2K's 2002 music video, "Why I Love You."

Rivera seems to have had her mole removed just a few years before her stint on Glee, as the marking was clearly visible when the actress attended the Chasing Liberty premiere back in 2004.

And while the before and after shot is sure to surface those previous plastic surgery rumors, E! News already shot down those reports after the actress posted a very-busty photo of herself, which an insider attributed to an extremely padded bikini top.

The talented songstress most recently stunned in a photo shoot for Galore magazine, in which she bares her bangin' bod in a bevy of itty-bitty outfits.

When asked for her summer hotness tip, the smokin' hot star advised, "I would say an even skin tone is really important and a good tan never hurt anybody. I think a really good bikini and confidence is probably number one."

Rivera is also back on Twitter after a brief hiatus from the social media site. "My account is back up! It needed some beauty sleep ;-) I have something special tomorrow for you guys! #BombShellsOfSummer," she tweeted, promising what turned out to be her Galore cover and sexy photo shoot.
