Does this sentence:

> 「彼女が美しく [...] なりましたね。」

need 「に」 in the marked spot? And why? Can it be used both ways?

I tried searching for the 「に」 usage but it seems to be the most elusive
particle as it's used in literally hundreds of different contexts.

question
particle-に adjectives i-adjectives
Does this sentence 「彼女が美しくなりましたね。」 need 「に」?
No, this sentence does not need に.

However, に does appear in a similar construction: When you want to use なる "to
become" with adjectives, you use the 連用形 _ren'yōkei_ , which is formed as
follows,

  1. for _na_ -adjectives add に
  2. for _i_ -adjectives, delete い and add く

So

>   1. 彼女がきれい **に** なりましたね。
>   2. 彼女が美し **く** なりましたね。
