Native speaker’s answer

Yes, this structure is quite common when comparing to show change. Comparing adjectives in this way is used to show the differences between things or states. In this case "ugly" and "pretty". Ex: Puberty took him from tiny to humongous almost overnight. Ex: My teacher can change something from confusing to understandable in minutes. She's amazing. Ex: She went from calm to angry very quickly.
