I think there’s a different thread in the entertainment forum but yeah, the fashion is boring too.

I’d never heard of Halsbrook but it definitively seems to be a more conservative look. Lots of high necklines. Probably targeting customers going for Victoria’s aesthetic and not that of Jaclyn/Kate/Laurie.

That’s cool. We also get to choose how we want to dress.

Seems like the Entertainment thread might be better for that.

Do you have a generationally owned castle?

Now that I know the middle one is MM, I clearly see it just her hair is now blondish (I prefer it dark, but she is aging fantastically). Leslie Bibb is unrecognizable to me, and I barely recognize Carrie Coon. Which makes me think at least LB and CC have had some cosmetic work- their looks are not just a result of hours at the gym.

Sorry, you’re wrong. Monaghan has had plenty of work done and Coon very little.

+1 and though Coon is the youngest she looks older than the others as a result. I think I remember reading somewhere that she smokes. All three are very thin, which tends to make dermatological interventions more pressing.

I don’t think she looks the oldest, just the least conventionally attractive. All the work the other two have had done reads older to me. Frankly I know some 20 somethings who look like they’re in their 40s because they’ve already gone down the fillers and Botox road.

Exactly. When someone that I think of as "young" gets botox & fillers, it makes me think that they must be older than I thought. It doesn't make you look younger, it just makes you look like an older person who is fighting aging.

Out with the Birkenstock Crew.

I don’t think you know what basic means. You can look good and basic at the same time. All of them look basic. 2 of them look better than the third. That’s all.

Adding, though, that Carrie Coon is my fave of the three. She’s the best actress for sure.

The Carrie Coon character not looking as attractive as the other two looks to be a plot point. It does keep coming up (remember how the other two were going on about how "You look amazing" and "no you do" and awkwardly leaving her out and she was right there?).

I personally find Carrie Coon to be the most beautiful of the 3. And, at the same time, I’m so trained to unconsciously read appearance signaling that I also found her the least “you look amazing”. My brain kept switching back and forth.

She's the least altered of the three. Leslie Bibb is the oldest and she's in great shape but she's also had a lot done to her face. Monaghan's work is more subtle but she's still had quite a bit of work done. Coon is the youngest but clearly the least "touched." I would be somewhat surprised if she doesn't at least do Botox for big events, but when she acts her face looks really natural and I really don't see evidence of anything. She takes roles that are not necessarily flattering and seems to lean into her natural looks (beautiful but aging naturally, looks more like a middle class woman than a movie star) while the others lean more heavily in their beauty and probably have more invested in maintaining it.

I wonder if they laughed about this while filming -- the fact that their characters acknowledge having work done that is probably reflective of what the actresses themselves have done. Or if it was just not acknowledged.

Anyway, even if she's the least "preserved" of the group, Coon is the one I'd most want to look like because she's pretty and fit but looks her age and looks at home in her skin. I would take that over looking more dramatically gorgeous but having to maintain a lot of procedures and feeling the pressure if that all the time. It would be nice for a minute but long term it's too much work for me.

Leslie Bibb has had too much work done. It doesn't look natural or good. She would be prettier if she had not done whatever she has had done bc like so many women who do that, she looks strange. And Moynahan is gorgeous but teetering very close to the edge. She is someone who would age so beautifully and does not need to do "work." I really don't understand why women don't think they can age and still be beautiful.

PP here and I do think Bibb's facial work is starting to border on Joker territory, which happens a lot when someone is super thin with like zero body fat and also getting the fillers and botox and eye lifts and all that.

However, the looks is working so well in this specific role that it doesn't bother me at all. It's totally believable to me that this particular person would look exactly like this. Also despite clearly having had a lot of work, her face is is still super expressive (perhaps they all laid off the Botox before filming) and her super tight face and filled lips are so perfectly conducive to her fake smiles and faux concern that she's working in all these scenes that I don't care that it's the result of too much work -- she's so perfectly cast.

This is like Nicole Kidman. If you get enough fillers the only roles you can play are rich lady scared of losing her youth.

And she has to compete with Demi Moore for those roles lol

If you are into the basic bougie Pilates mom look (and I am) they look great.

I don't think any of them are that attractive, but if I have to pick one it would be Leslie Bibb. I'm not getting the salivating over MM. She is weird looking to me, not a type I find attractive at all.
