When Justin Bieber first came on the scene in 2007 (at the mere age of 14) he was nothing but a kid with hopes, dreams, and an adorable YouTube account. He had the voice of a damn angel, but as time went on, his lifestyle was hardly heavenly. Ten years later, he gone through *quite* the transformation. Behold: Justin Bieber, an evolution. 

August 2007

Just a kid with a guitar sitting on the Canadian version of a stoop, this is Justin before his YouTube channel really took off. Here's a video of him performing on this exact same set of steps, in case you're in the mood to here his pre-pubescent pipes.

August 2009

Fast forward to 2009, Justin has "recently hit it big," according to the Getty image caption associated with this photo. The bowl cut was in FULL FORM in 2009. Full f*cking form.

July 2011

Justin and Selena Gomez are officially dating, and here they are at the ESPY awards. Why the two of them went to a sports banquet is beyond me. Jelena 5ever, though.

November 2011

In an ill-fitting tuxedo complete with tennis shoes, Justin rolled up to the 2011 American Music Awards with gf Selena. They sat next to Taylor Swift once they were inside. What a time to be alive.

Thus begins Justin's dalliance with the "f*ckboy" aesthetic. Here he is with Selena at a Lakers game, rocking some shoes with a very large tongue. Don't forget the neck chain! Always gotta have your neck chain.

November 2012

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show requires only *the best* dressed performers, and Justin came to play in this all-white ensemble. The owl tattoo on his left arm was just the beginning of what would eventually be two full arm sleeves. More on that later.

June 2013

Okay, it's now 2013 and we've reached Justin's peak capital F "F*boy" dress code. Tiger tattoo? Check. Wife beater? Check. Hat sat backwards on top of hair poof? Check.

January 2014

Approximately eight months later and the world gets its first glimpse at Justin Bieber's mugshot. Hair still perfectly in tact, though, which is a true feat.

May 2014

Fast forward another six months and Justin goes through what seems like a total transformation. With just a hint of a mustache and a double-breasted suit, he attended the amfAR Cinema Against Aids gala looking like a true snack.

July 2014

Justin, a kid from Canada, absolutely rocking the "hang ten" sign. Still a fan of the neck chain.

September 2014

Nothing comes between me and my absolutely ripped version of the Biebs. He appeared with fellow Calvin Klein spokesperson Lara Stone at the Fashion Rocks event in 2014.

December 2014

It's BLONDE BIEBER. You can't see it that well under this hat, but he's wearing his sunshine hair loud and proud, trust.

March 2015

For a hot sec we had hipster Bieber, and it was absolutely marvelous. I mean, this hat? Forget about it.

March 2015

#TBT to when Justin Bieber got his own roast on Comedy Central. As anyone should do when they're about to get lit up by comedians, he showed up looking dapper AF.

May 2015

Yeah, this is a thing that happened. Justin wore this suit with gold detailing to the 2015 Met Gala. The theme that year was China: Through the Looking Glass. Sunglasses optional, I'd imagine.

November 2015

Ah, yes. Our first glimpse at "Purpose Tour" Justin. The long hair and the cutoff tees became a staple of this era.

January 2016

Only Justin Bieber could mix camouflage with yacht club-style stripes. The white Vans are just an added plus.

February 2016

Another year, another statement tux. Justin wore this white and black combination to the Grammys. He brought his little brother as his guest, and it was adorable.

February 2016

The best part about this look, hands down, is that the shirt is see-through enough to peep those Calvins underneath. This was "fashion Justin," as he was attending the Saint Laurent party.

Ripped jeans, vintage tee, white headband probably caked in sweat... mid-performance Bieber does not disappoint.

April 2016

Omg, did you forget about that time he had dreads? Problematic!

February 2017

They didn't last long though. Shaved-head Bieber was a much better era. The white Vans are still a consistent theme.

Okay, it's the One Love Manchester benefit concert and true to form, Justin's in ripped jeans, but he's traded in those white Vans to white Yeezys.

August 2017

Justin tried to go golfing one time. This look was the result.

Fully a California bro, am I right? Pretty sure this is a bathing suit.

February 2018

Alright. The start of 2018 was not kind to Justin. He's giving some real Bigfoot-caught-on-camera vibes here.

February 2018

I'm not even going to attempt to explain what's happening here. Justin was playing in the NBA Celebrity All Star Game. Let's leave it there.
