A year ago, actor Elliot Page, previously known for his role in Juno as Ellen Page, publicly came out as a transgender man. Elliot shared his joy at finally embracing his “true self,” and opened up about the daily discrimination faced by transgender people, expressing deep gratitude to those who supported him throughout his difficult journey of gender transition. Page had risen to fame in 2007 with the release of Juno, where he portrayed a teenage girl navigating an unplanned pregnancy.
Ellen Page’s career started long before Juno made her a household name. She had already starred in various films, including an appearance in the X-Men franchise. At the Cannes premiere of the superhero film, Ellen exuded a delicate, feminine look, with cat-eye makeup and large stone earrings.
In 2012, Ellen decided to dye her hair from its natural brunette shade to a darker tone. This beauty shift was accompanied by subtle changes in her makeup routine, with a fresh look using peach blush on her cheeks. The next year, she returned to her classic makeup style, using dark eyeshadow and accentuating her lower lash line, while maintaining her signature peach blush.
By 2015, Ellen began opting for more casual, low-maintenance hairstyles, often wearing her hair in a low ponytail. Her makeup also became more minimal, with just mascara and a touch of lip gloss. By 2017, her style had evolved further, as she embraced more masculine fashion, trading feminine dresses for sharp, tailored suits, while still maintaining natural, nude-toned makeup.
The year 2020 was a turning point for Elliot Page. During the first wave of the pandemic, he spent time reflecting and realized that transitioning was the key to finding inner peace. At the end of 2020, Page officially transitioned and asked to be referred to as Elliot. In interviews, Elliot later shared that he had felt uncomfortable in a female body since childhood, even asking his mother for a gender change at age 9.
In the spring of 2021, Elliot Page revealed that he had undergone surgery to remove breast tissue, which greatly enhanced his masculine appearance and positively impacted his life.
Later that year, Elliot made his first red-carpet appearance after transitioning. His social media accounts were updated to reflect his journey, as he proudly showcased his masculinity with new photos, including images of his toned torso.
