I lowkey aspire to look this high status (White Lotus Reference)

[Anonymous]

I don’t watch this show, but I know all 3 actresses and when I saw this picture I had no idea that it was any of them. 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.

It's not just "a restaurant." It's a wellness resort in Thailand, where people are expected to wear clothes like that -- they'd just had their biomarkers done by a personal trainer.

OK, that only makes it mildly more acceptable. I would be sooo bored in a Thai wellness resort. For one thing, I appear to be one of the rare people who doesn't enjoy getting massages from strangers. I'd rather be drinking a limeade, fully dressed, at the Jim Thompson House Museum in Bangkok.

No. One. Cares.

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

They all look great for their ages and natural IMO. They are playing annoying stereotypes and doing a great job at it. The outfits are on point for the setting and the characters. Love this show!

+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.

Wealthier parts of Nova and dc?!? Where are these places? Nova and DC don’t have many truly wealthy people and certainly not any celebrities. It’s a company town.

Oh let's face it, they all look great for their age.

Leslie Bibb is the least conventionally beautiful but that's not the same as bad work.

They look better than 95% of women at the same age, and certainly get Botox for more than "special occasional" because they are rich and Botox takes 4 minutes and can be done at home a few times a year.

I actually think they look more natural than a lot of entertainers at the same age, all of whom have some interventions.

I laughed when I read the OP about the perfectly toned bodies of 60 year olds.

What work has MM and LB had done?

I mean they are at a resort gym, right?

Yes. Exactly.

In this scene they had all just had their body comp done by the trainer.

This. My old money grandmother would be horrified. You shouldn’t show your stomach unless at a gym or a pool. I don’t care if it’s toned, it’s vulgar. (And that’s the word she would use!)

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.

I mean ... it was literally in one of the first scenes in the show ...

Yes, but she's also the youngest.

Main character syndrome ^^.

No one here cares that you like limeade. Seriously.

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.

Male gaze.

Most of the men will prefer Leslie Bibb. I guarantee it.

Nooo, she is way too tall and dry looking with the short bob. Men like long hair. MM is the most attractive by far.
