There are plenty of stories like that, it's just she never gets to stay ugly. She always gets made over before getting the hot guy.

[lolofielding.livejournal.com]

Or the guy is ugly so she's suited for him (Shrek).

[sensualcoco.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll love you for your personality but only if I can make you conventionally hot first.

[threeonetwo.livejournal.com]

And the only reason she's ever ugly is because she wears frumpy, loose-fitting clothes and/or has never seen a hairbrush in her life and/or has clunky "nerd glasses". So the makeover isn't even that surprising, because she's always a really hot girl who just has all the capability to dress herself as a two-year-old.

Give her contacts(never ever nice looking glasses because glasses are ALWAYS ugly in these situations), hand her a comb, and let her know that a wrinkly brown skirt does not, in fact, go with a very poorly knitted blue sweater five times her size and neon pink shoes with mustard-yellow stockings, and omg you guys, suddenly she's a model! It's a miracle! Except it's not, because she was gorgeous all along.

In short: agreed. Also I'd love to at least see said scenario happen when the "ugly girl" is GENUINELY UNATTRACTIVE TO START WITH.

Oh man, I've wanted that last scenario ever since reading the "abridged script" of She's All That (done by the site The Editing Room):

FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
(loudly for stupid audience)
IN FACT, I’LL BET I CAN TAKE ANYONE TO THE PROM AND MAKE THEM QUEEN, BUT LEARN TO LOVE THEM FOR REAL IN THE END.

FREDDIE’S ANNOYING FRIEND
You’s trippin, homey. I’s be bettin you’s can’t.

FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
It’s a bet. Pick the girl.

FREDDIE’S ANNOYING FRIEND
How about the fat, butt-grabbing, nose- piercing, megaslut bitch that just murdered three kids last period?

FREDDIE PRINZE JR.
Hmm. No. Oh, hey, how about the obviously good looking girl over there wearing glasses and a bad haircut?

FREDDIE’S ANNOYING FRIEND
Sounds good.

AUDIENCE
Well, it’s about damned time someone made a movie with this plot.

Iirc Shaolin Soccer plays with the trope somewhat -- the initially painfully shy woman in question is attractive in the end, no doubt, but when the main character first gives her a "no no really if you stood up straight and look at me" speech, when she does so... her close-up shows acne and flies buzzing around her. Ok, so, makeover -- but she ends up looking garish and is teased about it. She starts to wilt; they stop, embarrassed because they realize the effort she put into it -- and then she starts vogueing, and everyone, including her, starts laughing. I think she might have one of those "attractive-reveal" parts, but she's dressed formally and confidently. And at the end, she's shaved herself bald which I think helped her with being an awesome goalie, which was most important to her. It's been a while, so I may be misremembering parts or missed some not-awesome subtext, but overall I just remember her being ultimately comfortable in her own skin.
