Maddie Ziegler Doesn't Look 13 In These Photos

by Kali Borovic

A new era of child stars has taken over, and everyone's favorite teen dancer is leading the pack. It turns out that being a top dancer-turned-actress and model makes you grow up pretty fast. She's wise beyond her years, and Maddie Ziegler often looks older than her age. She might have only just turned 13, but her talent (and makeup skills) rival that of someone much, much older.

There's no denying Ziegler's dance talent, but her style skills are just as on-point. At the age of just 13, this girl can contour, highlight, and create a winged eye that would put most 20-somethings to shame. OK, I'm sure she occasionally has a whole squad of makeup artists on hand to help her out, but she's definitely learning a thing or two from them. The teen looks just as fierce off the stage as she does on, and can definitely stand up to some of the biggest, most experienced celebs on the red carpet.

With her being involved in the dance community for her entire life, it only makes sense that Ziegler would have picked up a few tricks when it comes to bringing the drama with her makeup. Dark red lipstick, heavy liner, and blush are some of her signatures, seen in many Dance Moms episodes, but she can do subtle and sophisticated just as well. Check out these times Ziegler looked way older than her mere 13 years.
