So what celebs DON’T get work done (if any)?

Andie MacDowell? Love that she's gone gray least. She has had crows feet forever and still does.

You keep telling yourself that, but you look like you have done botox if you have done botox.

+1 Do you think people come up to you and say, "Did you get some botox done?" No. They go home and say, her forehead looks like Lake Placid on a calm day.

I cannot stand the look of botox. Like a bunch of freaks from another planet trying to pass as human. I can't watch the news when the newscasters have foreheads and mouth muscles that don't move. I just change the channel.

Botox is not different than foot binding. The things women do to their bodies....

This POV is insane to me. This PP has clearly never had Botox, and the fact that they think they are an expert is baffling. Of course we all know what you mean about the overdone look. But for every one of those there are many more that are...just well done. Subtle.

I think half of these quips are rooted in jealousy and bitterness (even subconscious) and the others are just stodgy and/or afraid of intervention. Which is fine, on a personal level, but to attack other people with such vitriol and fallacy? Weird!

I am not the PP you are responding to. People like you are the problem. A different opinion from yours must mean they are bitter and jealous? If people don't want to have cosmetic work done they must be stodgy and afraid?

Please get over yourself.

The vitriol in the world is all directed at people who don't focus on appearance. You call them "stodgy" or "frumpy" or tell them they are "letting themselves go". etc etc etc. You all are just nasty.

The fallacy is the BS that you have been brainwashed with by the beauty industry so that they can make money. It's really that simple.

No one *needs* any of this nonsense, but there are plenty of people like you in the world who are ready to insult people who age naturally.

Honestly F off. We are not jealous of you. We are annoyed by you.

Agree with all of this.

I don’t care if people get this stuff done— as a PP said some people may just enjoy the psychological boost they get when they get light injectable’s and it might be irrelevant, on some level, if it makes them look better. Or maybe it makes them look better! Whatever, it’s not my business and you do you.

What I object to is the people who think “well I do it so everyone must do it” (obviously untrue, maintenance Botox in particular really adds up over time and many many people don’t want to add the expense, just as many people choose not to do salon color or highlights and opt to color at home or go gray— many people don’t even have dermatologists they see regularly). This is a self serving belief that becomes toxic because of the attitudes PP mentions.

I assume most celebrities get some kind of beauty intervention, especially anyone over the age of 40. They have the money to do so and a vested interest in looking as good as possible. But other than the people who have obviously had invasive surgery or who clearly overdid fillers and Botox in ways that permanently altered their appearance, I don’t presume to know what. Maybe it’s Botox, but it could also be lasers or other less invasive procedures that improve skin texture and appearance. I also think many celebs have really good genes and have also been taking good care of their skin from a young age— people who got famous in their teens or 20s, assuming they avoided the alcohol/drugs pitfalls, had good reasons to be extra careful about staying out if the sun, wearing spf and staying moisturized. Contrary to what some on this board believe, these long term habits absolutely help your appearance as you age. Lack of sun damage and avoiding alcohol in particular.

Most celebs under 40 have also had work done. Avoiding alcohol won’t get you a teeny tiny nose or a less gummy smile.

I've been getting it for 5 years, Mom.

Your mother is trying to tell you something.....

Totally agree! She's trying to tell me she *thinks* Botox makes people look plastic and immobile and unnatural and is easily detectible!

To tell the truth, I don't know her motivations but I suspect part of this comes from jealousy and wishing she were able to get it. She's very jealous of rich, attractive women.

Wow, you are truly clueless.

Love her. She’s stunning. But I’m guessing she’s has work done.

HA! Her forehead is like a glass lake.

Such an unattractive look. I hate that huge flat forehead. They always look like they're going bald, too.

Currently watching Slow Horses and am in awe of how naturally beautiful Kristin Scott Thomas is. Face seems "untouched", to me.

She's a spokesperson for a botox product and readily admits using it. Yeah, no.

Gwyneth Paltrow clearly had lower face and neck lift during covid; she just wants us to keep believing that she had minimal work done years ago, so she's letting us see some wrinkles around her eyes and forehead.
Meanwhile she has a neck and jaw definition like a 20 year old, as if gravity never happened.

Yes! Jamie. Love her too! There’s no substitute for natural. Nature is the greatest artist at any age

I think what many of you Gail to realize is that cosmetic surgery had come a long way. Hood work isn’t supposed to be noticed. I grew up in entertainment and there not a single woman who hasn’t gotten work. None. Some just get better work than others.

She has admitted plastic surgery and “didn’t like it”. She had lower lid blepharoplasty surgery. Nobody has lower lids naturally like hers. She might “not like it” but her results were amazing. She also had lips and Botox and god knows what else she won’t cop to pretending to be natural.

Lol! Absolutely not. Getting rid of ethnic black noses and skin lighting is literally what all of them do.

Please find me a single “black nose” in Hollywood.

Lololol!!! Cameron Diaz has had soooo much work done and it’s not event that good to boot!

I think everyone in the wealth / fame world has had cosmetic procedures. They might not all have had full on surgery but they have all had work done. Given how many people in my day to day life have work done and that isn't the rich or famous, I don't believe anyone has had nothing done.

I finally watched Top Gun Maverick and thought Jennifer Connelly looked odd. Different, and like work done adjusted how she looks.

If young Jen Connelly felt she needed to do work to add to her beauty, what hope do I have?
