She doesn’t look bad (like it’s not frightening or grotesque) but she doesn’t look like her old self either. She used to be really pretty.

Is Blake much younger than her?

It's also that contouring makeup and weird gigantic eyelashes. It's like they are all aliens wearing flesh masks trying to pass as human.

This look reminds me of the descriptions of the people from the Capitol in the Hunger Games books.

I really don't understand how Priscilla Presley, Meg Ryan, Madonna, and Gwen Stefani have had work that looks so bad. Makes me sad to see it. They apparently don't really have the underlying self-confidence they say they have.

It does seem odd that someone so rich couldn't get better plastic surgery.

Of course, as a society we literally told them their value was in their youthful good looks so now we're hypocrites if we blame them for trying to hold onto them.

In her prime, Madonna was the epitome of true, natural beauty.
I remember during the mid-/late-eighties…..EVERYone & their Mother we’re trying to emulate Madonna’s beauty + style.
Now she just looks like an old granny.
Her looks have really gone south since she hit forty-five. 😓

Gwen Stefani was always such a beauty too.
She just recently started looking like this.
J Lo is a few months older than her and she looks so much better than her.

Reason being is that if J Lo does get surgery, she only gets mild tweaks.
Gwen looks like she got a totally different face.

J Lo ages the good old-fashioned way.
I.e., working out regularly, eating clean, staying out of the sun and using her own skincare product.

You're hilarious. J. Lo absolutely gets tons of Botox and fillers. I've seen her in person and she can't furrow her brows and her forehead is like glass. That said, it's not overdone like other examples but the "good old-fashioned way" must mean to you LIGHT Botox and fillers.

And huge fake boobs. Did you see that ridiculous outfit she wore recently to the funeral? Plunging v neck with half her giant boobs showing. To a funeral.

OTOH my mother and her friends are all “rich” women and they are aging old school NE Yankee style, grey men’s hair cuts, no makeup, turtlenecks and pearl studs. So its really more of a class than a wealth thing.

Thank God someone is here to defend rich women. The right rich women anyway.

Happy to do it! You can ask me anything about the “right” way to age, my people have very strong opinions.

Please tell me how to age like an NE Yankee, I am curious

OK, I will.

You develop a non-nonsense approach to life -- you get up early, you spend a chunk of the day outside, even in foul weather -- probably with dogs -- you don't mind your skin being weathered b/c it's proof you spent your life skiing, sailing and gardening. Plus your husband and all the women around you are strongly supporting this ethos. You love to walk. You even go on vacations to walk -- like rambling through the Cottwsolds for example. You believe a good brisk walk and a hot cup of tea will fix most any mood.

You don't complai. You don't get waxed, blow-outs, manicures. You don't spend money on yourself as in "self-care" unless buying a new bulb-digger to plant fall bulbs is considered self-care. Maybe you slap on some lipstick for Christmas Vespers at church.

You under no circumstances try to be sexy or trendy. You are practical and timeless in your fashion.

You focus on family, volunteer work in your community -- esp. if it's plants/garden related!, do the NYT crossword puzzle, carry on centuries old traditions like baking weird food no one actually wants, decoating and celebrating all the holidays, and most importantly embracing this stage of life as an adult women who has earned respect and dignity and is not trying to recapture her youth.

Oh and books, always be reading something that someone you respect suggested. Start your sentences with "The other day I heard on NPR . . ."

You join -- church, civic groups, tennis ladders, garden clubs, book clubs etc.

Of course what makes this all possible is that literally all of the people in my mom's social circle are the same! NPR-listening, no-nonsense, dog-loving, gardeners.

This describes A LOT of older women, minus the sailing. Most older ladies in my neighborhood spend their days walking their dogs and tending to their gardens, and don’t wear a stitch of make up!

Yes. And I bet they are not tweaking their faces!

The OP asked "Why do rich women pay lots of money to deform their faces to look like this?" and I responded that none of the rich women I know do anything of the sort.
