There are layers to this

So she has had surgeries from what others are saying but I should add hormones do change where the body stores fat, so while you can't get changes to your skeleton (unless you start early enough), you will be a bit surprised at what curves you can get. Makes it easier to get a slim waist and big thighs. You also get a thin layer of fat under all your skin making you a bit softer in general. There's ofc breast growth which usually yields smaller breasts than cis women, but you never know. Some people get honkers. Exercise to build up muscles that help you look more feminine is a way to change your body as well.

Basically what I'm saying is that yes, you won't get these results from HRT alone, but HRT does do a bit more I think than many expect. Many things put together makes you look very different, even if many of us hope for more.
