Well this is one way to change the subject.

Amber Rose, who was in the middle of a Wiz Khalifa-Kanye West Internet feud until it was recently put to bed, just made our jaws drop—and not because of a NSFW comment. The glamour model posted the most epic #TBT on Instagram, showing followers what she looked like when she was just 12 years old. Talk about a major transformation!

Rose has chin-length black hair (a point that's already surprising given her buzzed status now) and is wearing a gold Olympics T-shirt. An ear-to-ear grin and a gold chain top off her hilariously awkward look. "#TBT Muva at 12 Sidebar.... I was 5'9," she captioned the pic.

Wiz's ex-wife is no stranger to amazing throwback photos, as she posted one from when she was just a little girl back in August. Wearing the goofiest glasses, Rose captioned it, "#TBT Don't laugh either Hey kids if u feel like a ugly duckling don't fret just look at this picture of me as a kid and know there's hope for all of us Lol #DemLasersDoe #ButDemTeefGrewInNice."

It's true that there is hope for everyone, as we all eventually make our way out of the awkward stage and turn into swans. Amber's transformation speaks volumes, as she went from this "ugly duckling" to a full-time model. She often posts sultry photos of herself, so she really knows how far she has come since her gap-toothed days.

She also has no problem acknowledging any flaws she might still have. When photos surfaced of her butt appearing to have cellulite, she quickly defended her post-baby body. "Yaaaaaas dimples on the booty!" she wrote. "Lol #StandUpStraightSoIKnowitsReal #BeautifulBabiesGiveYouBeautifulDimples #MILFIN."

You have to give her some serious credit for her self-confidence.
