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.



You're an idiot. This is the photographer's style. There was an interview with him in The Washington Post (I don't have a subscription, I read it through Apple News, so I cannot share it here) where he discussed this. He has taken similar pictures of the Obamas. He has an entire book of close up shots. This was not political. It's unfortunate that Kaylee or Caroline or whatever her name is got lip shots the day of the photo shoot, but it's not his job to photoshop her bad face mistake.

You shouldn't be allowed to post here if you don't know the person's name.

Regardless, yes. He does specialize in close ups. Here are some pics from 2012 DNC/RNC:

Janna Ryan:


Ann Romney:


Caroline Kennedy:


Nikki Haley:


These are all MUCH more flattering than Karoline's portrait.

I will say, Michelle Bachmann's is truly frightening. Looks like a DUI arrest mugshot:

For God's sake, no you do not.

If any of us had a close up taken in light as harsh as that and then the photographer adjusted the photo to emphasize those lines then yes, we'd all look like this. Even at 30 or 35.

The photo was *very deliberately* set up and taken. And then, of course, published.


She chose to mess up her face.

Getting lip filler is not "messing up her face," you idiot. She's a 28yo woman and that's the style.

Any of these people could have researched the photographer before giving consent to be photographed to see his style, but I'm sure they did not.

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.


This is the Trump WOMEN thread.

I like the style and wish more published photographs showed the real thing versus the fake and blurred


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.

He's even on Instagram right now posting about the photos and liking comments about how evil the Trump admin is and how he did a great job capturing their evil. And they are evil, but again, let's call a spade a spade: He went out of his way to make the young woman look the worst. Rather than the men who have actual power. It's misogyny, even when done against a woman who is also misogynist herself.


I would say the picture of JD Vance was the worst one. Vance isn’t a bad looking dude and the photo is awful.

Gorgeous dress! She looks beautiful.


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.


It's not like she hasn't worn beautiful shades of blue before:




I mean, me saying I think she bought it from the sale rack was not an insult so much as I was saying it looks to me like she was branching out with fashion more. There's a big difference between politician's wife royal blue/navy and turquoise. All three colors look lovely on her, btw.

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 like the style and wish more published photographs showed the real thing versus the fake and blurred


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.

He's even on Instagram right now posting about the photos and liking comments about how evil the Trump admin is and how he did a great job capturing their evil. And they are evil, but again, let's call a spade a spade: He went out of his way to make the young woman look the worst. Rather than the men who have actual power. It's misogyny, even when done against a woman who is also misogynist herself.


I don’t really care, do u ?

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.


For God's sake, no you do not.

If any of us had a close up taken in light as harsh as that and then the photographer adjusted the photo to emphasize those lines then yes, we'd all look like this. Even at 30 or 35.

The photo was *very deliberately* set up and taken. And then, of course, published.
