According to Insider, Underwood stayed in hiding for a few months after her accident. But when she reemerged, she worried fans would think she had gotten elective plastic surgery — that is how different she appeared after receiving close to 50 stitches above her lip. It's worth noting that according to many, the star didn't really look different after the accident (via Cheat Sheet). What matters is that Underwood felt she did, and it took some time for her to feel more like herself.

Given her journey, it is even more impressive that the "Cry Pretty" singer has gotten to a place where she can share selfies without having to be professionally made up. Because while we see a perfect peaches and cream complexion and no need for even a lick of lip gloss, it must be said that we are all our own worst critics. Clearly whatever Underwood had to go through to get here was worth it. Her confidence is an inspiration to all.
