Delta Goodrem admits she cringes over photos of herself from the early 2000s because of one regrettable beauty trend
Delta Goodrem grew up in the spotlight, having signed her first record deal with Sony at the age of 15 before joining the cast of Neighbours two years later.
But the Born to Try singer, 35, sometimes cringes these days when she looks back on her rise to fame – and it’s all because of one rather outdated beauty trend.
Delta revealed on Channel Seven’s Sunrise on Monday that she would over-pluck her eyebrows because pencil-thin brows were fashionable at the time.

‘I look back and think, “Why were my eyebrows so skinny?” When you say makeup, I think why would I do that?’ Delta said.
Interestingly, Delta has kept the same makeup artist since she was 15, and reassured her during the interview that the early 2000s eyebrows weren’t her fault.
After signing with Sony Music in the year 2000, Delta has gone on to release five studio albums and two compilations.
She was on Sunrise to promote her latest single, Solid Gold, and her 2021 tour.
