Top 10 Hottest Female Former Disney Stars

Who would have guessed that Maddie Fitzpatrick from “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” would turn into such a knockout? Alas, it wasn’t just her beauty that has increased since her time as a teenage Disney star – Tisdale has become one of the entertainment industry’s top performers, with a number of successful albums under her belt to go along with a couple of high profile acting roles. Tisdale has also posed for a slew of publications, often displaying her toned bod and stunning features. Between her skills as a singer and dancer and her impressive good looks, Tisdale isn't going anywhere.

Debby Ryan has appeared in more Disney productions than most people have even seen, and is also the youngest woman to ever direct a Disney channel show. From her turn as Bailey Pickett on “The Suite Life on Deck” as well as “The Suite Life Movie” to her lead role on the Disney channel show “Jessie”, Ryan is a Disney vet. However, she has since morphed into quite the beautiful young woman. More than just an actress, Ryan can also bring the musical goods when time allows, having released music with The Never Ending and touring in alongside Fifth Harmony. Disney must be putting something in their water fountains!

With her dark features, sultry voice and enviable bod, Demi Lovato has come a long way since playing Mitchie Torres in Disney’s “Camp Rock”. A prolific singer, Lovato shed her good girl image faster than most, with a stint in rehab at the age of eighteen. Since then, she has gone on to release a number of highly successful albums while managing to stay sober. If you still, somehow, aren’t convinced that Lovato is a complete knockout, just check out the music video for her song “Cool for the Summer”.

Michalka began her acting career with a lead role on the Disney Channel series “Phil of the Future”. Along with a couple of roles in the Disney TV films “Now You See It…” and “Cow Belles”, she was truly a star for the network. However, as her career as an actress, singer and model has progressed one thing has become abundantly clear: Michalka is a total hottie with talent to spare. And if you find her last name familiar but don’t recognize her face, you may be thinking of her younger sister AJ, another former Disney star who is a stunner in her own right.

Following some roles, she got her big start in the Disney television movie “Jump In!” and Palmer has since slowly evolved into an actress and singer with a wealth of talent complemented by some truly stunning features. All it takes is one look at the music video for her hit song “Hands Free” to see that once pretty teen star has blossomed a beautiful woman. With plenty of acting gigs in the works and her career as a singer heading in a positive direction, Palmer is poised for a lengthy stay in the spotlight.

To say that “Hannah Montana” was a hit for Disney would be a gross understatement. The TV series, which revolved around a schoolgirl who lived a double life as a famous singer, spawned two films, nine albums and a North American tour. At the center of it all was Cyrus, who was quickly developing into a teen superstar. Since the show’s completion, Cyrus’ transformation from teen idol to serious performer has been well documented. One thing that has never been in question once she became an adult is her enormous sex appeal. With her Disney years clearly in the rearview mirror, Cyrus has turned into one of the hottest, not to mention wildest, entertainers in the business.

At the tender age of eight, Spears got her first taste of the business when she auditioned for a role on “The Mickey Mouse Club”. But it would only be in 1992 that she would land the role. Starring opposite a number of future household names in Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake, Spears would use the show as a means for bigger and better things. It wasn’t long before she turned into one of the most recognizable sex symbols and pop icons of the 2000s. Hers hasn't always been the smoothest ride, but she has since regained her former glory while continuing to be an absolute stunner.

Actress, singer, author…is there anything Hilary Duff can’t do? In the early 2000s, her starring role in the Disney series “Lizzie McGuire” turned her into one of the most sought after teen actors in the business. From there, she began a career as a singer, releasing a number of successful albums while further establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. Of course none of this should come as a surprise, as Duff is both insanely talented and exceptionally beautiful. Continuing to shine on both the big and little screen, this former Disney star has clearly evolved into someone wonderful.

Hudgens rose to fame playing Gabriella Montez in Disney’s “High School Musical” franchise. These teen romance musicals served as her launching pad, as it wasn’t long before she was starring in some major Hollywood productions. However, something happened to her in between – girl got hot! Hudgens’ transformation from sweet and innocent Disney girl to sex appeal oozing actress wasn’t a long one. In only a few short years, she had shed her good girl image by starring in such racy films as “Spring Breakers” and “Machete Kills”. With her smoldering good looks and bad-ass attitude, this is one Disney star that had no trouble growing up.



Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions:



Brenda Song



Bella Thorne



Sara Paxton

Selena Gomez is the gold standard when it comes to former Disney stars that not only turned into beautiful women, but also did so without suffering through some form of controversy. While her good girl image has definitely lost some of its sheen from films like “Spring Breakers” and “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising” or her steamy music video for “Hands To Myself”, the starlet has for the most part managed to stay out of the tabloids. That being said, Gomez is still a total knockout. Who would have thought that the girl from “Wizards of Waverly Place” would turn into one of the hottest pop stars on the planet?
