But back to the OT: do I look better then or now?
You are visibly older, but you look great now. So, if I have to choose, I say "now".

I don't have any teenage photos of me to show you, but I think I look better now. I don't look 30, though, but many women in their 30s and 40s look better than in their teens and 20s. Again, confidence/maturity and willingness to be yourself instead of what society expects you to be makes you attractive.
It also depends on a person's clothing style, makeup (for women) or facial hair (for men), etc.
Here are two photos I posted in the Adult section. (Photo 1, Photo 2). I look older with the makeup, imo. (The picture with the glasses is the older one, btw).
But I agree with Wolfheart, celebrity photos are heavily airbrushed and most of the celebrities aren't that gorgeous in real life. Take OP's pictures: it's not a matter of Britney getting old. You just can't compare the professional pictures taken for promotional purposes with an amateur or a paparazzi shot. And don't get me started on the whole "celebrities without makeup" thing.
Also, Wolfheart, your brother doesn't look 30!

You're cute Deconstruction, and you look a lot younger than your listed age.

Thank you.
Both are a couple of years old, though. But I definitely look younger. I think it's because I dress like a kid.

It's true, narrow standards of physical beauty are temporary. Douchebaggery, however, is apparently forever.

Many Americans eat processed foods or fast foods, they also lead party lifestyles of smoking and drinking, this could be a factor in why they age quicker. Europeans look younger because we eat organic natural foods and tend not to drink in excess, it just depends on how you look after yourself.

If this guy asked me out, I'd politely say no. Then my friends and I would giggle about you while we walked away.
Now if this guy asked me out...

Right, I didn't catch this one. I really don't understand this comment. I mean, last time I checked, Ireland, France, Russia, UK, etc... are considered European countries. And other European nations drink as much. Granted, I don't know how much Americans drink, but it's safe to assume Europeans win here.
PS- I assume "to drink" means "drink alcohol beverages". If it has other meanings, I apologize.

You are absolutely correct when it comes to food, I never realized what a vast difference there was in this respect until I actually started travelling in Europe. I would say that eating junkfood is America's #1 form of entertainment.
But the alcohol statement? I hope I'm not being a wise-ass, but:
