Iggy Azalea looks completely unrecognisable in high school photo from 2002
An old classmate posted the shot on Facebook showing the rapper looking like a fresh-faced teen

We're used to seeing her grinding against Rita Ora and generally shaking her booty over various stages.

So it's hard to believe Australian rapper Iggy Azalea - real name Amethyst Amelia Kelly - was once a make-up free, frizzy-haired teen.

A picture, posted by a former school student on Facebook, taken in 2002 has emerged of the 24-year-old star from her high school days looking like a doe-eyed youngster.

Wearing a blue top and red hed band, her blond wavy hair is just visible in the shot.

Iggy went to school at Mullumbimby High School in New South Wales before moving to the US when she was 16.
