I'm surprised they could find a lip to inject

She looks like a cute, normal girl in this picture.

People used to look like this, and have idiosyncrasies like smallish lips, and we could still call them attractive because they looked like regular humans.

Hot take I think she is still attractive.

I'm a few years older than Karoline but I think a lot of these "She's 28, I'm 35 and I look better" memes underestimate how unflattering that close-up-under-harsh-lights was. The lip injections were gross but other than that I see some visible pores (normal), some textured patches (normal), and a couple undereye lines (normal for late 20s/early 30s, especially fair skinned women like us). It didn't help that she had heavy makeup on, which you would too if you thought you were getting photographed for a national magazine at normal range.

I'm 32. I go to one of the better dermatologists in DC, and I go quarterly. I have been using Vitamin C and tretinoin daily since my mid-20s. My new coworker just told me she thought I was 28. I think my skin looks good. I still think I would fare poorly under the conditions Karoline was photographed under.

Btw, the feminist in me is pissed off that she's the ONLY one whose appearance we are talking about. Not that of JD Vance, who looks 50 when he's 41. Not that of Stephen Miller who looks like the swamp creature he is. We are literally only talking about the young woman.

You genuinely think this is the normal amount of wrinkles for under 35? I am 45 and would love this kind of photo taken of my skin to see what I might be missing, just wouldn't want it published

I hate this entire administration but this is unfair. Nobody looks good this close up.

This is not just a close up photo. This is a photo where the photographer deliberately set up sharp cold tone light - direct into her face and slightly above, the light that churns any make up into the mud; the light that gives the shadow from every slight wrinkle; the light that gives the skin a dead man shade. The photographer ignored diffusor and reflectors, probably stretched diaphragm (like during architectural photoshoot), to ensure that every pore on Karoline's face highlighted like Mariana Trench, that every spot on her skin looks like melanoma. No retouching, of course. But he added contrast and texture, just like a control shot.

There are rules for the portrait photography - soft, filtered side light (better the warmer than day light), reflector from the bottom to ensure that under eye wrinkles are softened, wide diaphragm, correct lensed. When professional make a portrait, he can remove 10-12 years from the face even without photoshop. But he can also add 10-12 years.

The fact that he didn't just do a close up photo, but put efforts to make her look this way for the sole purpose to humiliate the women is disgusting. But he is a man. What puzzles me the most that other women are buying this lie and keep humiliating this woman. We should be better regardless of our political views, and expose this "photographer" for what he has done.

I love this dress. I just googled it to see the price and it appears it’s only available used on poshmark. Is she not buying dresses new for these big events?

The dress is stunning and so appropriate for the event. She might bought it new a few years ago and just re-using. It is totally appropriate to wear the outfits several times, she is not a runaway model.

Agreed. I like it even more if she is indeed rewearing it. And the color is beautiful, not only for Hanukkah but also on her.

Yes, I love to see people in the public eye re-wearing clothing. There's no reason for a new gown for every occasion. The color is great.

I agree but if she has such great gems in her closet…why has she been wearing such drab ill fitting stuff? It’s a mystery.

That's why I don't think she was rewearing it. As has been said before, I think, for whatever reason, she's decided to up her style game in the last couple months and found this on a clearance rack. Or her friend's mom with the boutique sent it.

Also the color's not really something she would've worn until recently either. Just because it's not current season doesn't mean she's had it since the season it was produced in.

Except that this photo is not real. He put a lot of efforts to make her look like that. No one talking about blurred and photoshopped. If he published a real photo, no one would be talking about it.

She must be a natural blonde with sun damage in her youth. I have my Gallego dad's thick creamy white skin. When I got facials in my 40s they said I had "good skin" and I didn't know what they meant. Now I do. But I do have lines around my mouth.

https://people.com/donald-trump-goes-on-lengthy-tangent-about-wife-melania-trumps-panties-11873965

Making an appearance in Rocky Mount, N.C., on Friday, Dec. 19, the president, 79, discussed inflation and efforts to lower drug prices ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, but also spoke about Melania's undergarments when reflecting on the FBI raid of his Palm Beach, Fla., resort Mar-a-Lago in 2022.

"They went into my wife's closet ... they looked at her drawers," Donald said, referring to Melania, 55, whom he married in 2005.

Explaining that his wife is "a very meticulous person," Donald continued, "Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded perfect, wrapped. They're, like, so perfect."

"I think that she steams them," Donald added.

Yeah, I posted above about how I think I look good for my age but would fare as poorly as Karo did here and I agree with this. I'm sick of seeing women be like, "This is Karoline's 28 and this is me at 35. Being evil ages you." Like, one, they rarely don't look great either. And two, if they do, they're using filters and the camera isn't right in their face.

And again, NO ONE is talking about the men who actually do look like shit for their ages. JD is 41 and has worse crow's feet and nasolabial folds than my father, who is 62. Btw, very telling that most of the men's close ups were shot in black and white and the young woman got literally the harshest lighting imaginable.

Those men have always been laughed at for their looks, their photos were no big reveal. The oddness of horizontal crepe like lines coming out of the laugh lines, not the eye wrinkles, were a bit shocking to me and I use a magnifying mirror. I think the wrinkles around the mouth and cheeks were excessive but maybe everyone wrinkles differently like going grey and going bald.
