Alongside the release of Dignity and the music videos for "With Love" and "Stranger", Duff began to adapt a more mature image. Duff's new image inspired some to consider her a "sex symbol".

The film received a limited release in the United States.{{cite web|url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=warinc.htm |title=War, Inc.

Duff was credited with the revival of Hollywood Records following the release of Metamorphosis (2003). The San Fernando Valley Business Journal wrote that the album was "giving Hollywood Records a needed shot in the arm" after a decline in CD sales during the previous two years had forced the label to reduce costs and alter its operation. Hilliard Lyons analyst Jeffrey Thomison cited Metamorphosis as a reflection of Disney's ability to develop "great synergy between their cable, film and music segments" Duff's transition from Disney star to successful singer became a formula that Hollywood Records tried to implement with future acts such as Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Bridgit Mendler among others.Chmielewski, Dawn C.

The Associated Press wrote that this sudden provocativeness was representative of "a clear move [on Duff's part] to put her Lizzie McGuire past behind her", and that more provocative imaging of her would help her singles to garner mainstream radio play: "Ultimately, nature, time and genetics may help Duff in a way Disney, despite all its might, cannot."

Duff garnered media attention in Halloween of 2016 due to the costumes she and then boyfriend Jason Walsh wore to a party.

Following the backlash, both Duff and Walsh posted apology messages on their respective social media accounts.{{cite news|first=Carly|last=Mallenbaum|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2016/10/30/hilary-duff-jason-walsh-halloween/93019884/|title=Hilary Duff is 'SO sorry' about her offensive Halloween costume|newspaper=USA Today|date=October 31, 2016|access-date=January 7, 2019}}

In May 2018, Duff uploaded a series of Instagram stories to her account, publicly condemning her New York apartment neighbor. She claimed he smoked "cigarettes and weed all night long" and that her "apartment reeks". Police later confirmed that an altercation had occurred between the neighbor and Duff's then-boyfriend Matthew Koma. Duff's representative issued a statement saying "Hilary and her young son have been subjected to excessive secondhand smoke, late night noise, garbage in the hallways, and an overall hazardous living environment for months now." Duff's allegations of her neighbor's behavior were corroborated by other neighbors, including journalist Shelley Ross.{{cite web|last=Wilson|first=Samantha|title=Dieter Addison: 5 Things About Neighbor Hilary Duff Called Out for Allegedly Smoking Weed & More|url=https://hollywoodlife.com/2018/05/17/who-is-dieter-addison-hilary-duff-neighbor/|date=May 17, 2018|work=Hollywood Life}}
