90s popstar looks unrecognisable 34 years after number one hit catapulted singer to chart topping fame

A 90s popstar looks completely unrecognisable 34 years after they topped the charts with smash hit. 

The singer, now 53, made up one half of iconic dance group 2 Unlimited who were catapulted to fame and sold a whopping 18million records worldwide. 

The Belgian-Dutch duo’s debut single Get Ready For This cemented them in music history after becoming one of the most frequently played songs at sporting events around the world, according to Pitchfork.

The group released forty five songs, four albums and split in 1996 before eventually launching a comeback in 2009.

Back at the peak of her career the star wasn’t afraid to experiment with her style, sporting a range of hairstyles including braids and dreadlocks. 

However now she she has made a big departure from her edgy style, but can you guess who it is?

That’s right! It’s Anita Doth. 

The singer songwriter made up one half of 2 Unlimited alongside rapper Ray Slijngaard with the pair scoring sixteen international chart hits and two UK number one albums. 

Their 1993 hit single No Limit soared in the charts while Get Ready For This reached number two in the UK charts and led to the pair performing on Top Of The Pops in 1991.

They have sold eighteen million records worldwide and their tracks even became popular themes in American NBA and NHL. 

Now Anita has bid goodbye to her braids and bold style choices for a more understated style. 

Meanwhile she is styling her hair in their natural curls and her skimpy crop tops and leather corsets are also a thing of the past. 

2 Unlimited split in 1996 before launching a comeback in 2009. However the pair were forced to perform under the name name of Ray & Anita after it was believed that producer Jean-Paul de Coster denied them permission to perform as 2 Unlimited due to him owning the band’s copyright.

They then split again in 2016 for Anita to concentrate on her solo career, she was replaced by Kim Vergouwen and later Michele Karamat who continues to tour with rapper Ray.

As a solo artist she has released numerous singles as well as a 2000 album Reality.

Anita has also faced her own personal battles after it was revealed in 2010 that she was being treated for breast cancer. 

The star continued performing with Ray during her treatment while receiving chemotherapy and in 2011 she announced she was cancer free.  

She keeps her private life out the spotlight but welcomed a daughter in February 2014 after revealing her pregnancy on Twitter in November 2013.
