She never was very good looking, even at her peak. Some fake boobs, professional makeup and hair stylists, a professional photographer and photoshop can make even the homeliest women look good. She's half Thai and half caucasian which gives a bit of an exotic factor that photographers can use. Strip away all the makeup, lighting, camera angle tricks and she's average at best.
Of course when she opens her mouth she instantly becomes the ugliest person in the room.
“She never was very good looking...”
