Everyone on Earth (in the developed world, anyway), has seen famous women give themselves the "Outer Limits look" with botox, implants, and fillers for quite a while now. Fifty years or more.

And it's not only not new, the outcome isn't a surprise. Quite the opposite. Lots of planning, consultations, and so forth are required; and it's done in stages/increments over time. It is also very expensive. All in all, nothing could be more deliberate.

The woman shown here was a famous singer in the 1990's who became super-wealthy. Worth hundreds of millions of dollars, lives in a castle in Switzerland, the works. Meaning finding and hiring the best plastic surgeon in the business would not be an issue, either.

All of which adds up to she must have WANTED to look like an Outer Limits creature with swollen lips, pingpong-ball cheekbones, and a bar-of-soap chin.

Which I don't understand at all.

Unless everyone else thinks those changes look good, of course, which Is the reason for this thread.

Am I missing something?

If it’s done well, it will look like the person has aged well. That requires taste—a sense of what will look best. An older movie star doesn’t always have that, and the consultants they hire might not either. Or the consultant may prioritize giving the customers what they want rather than what would look better

These are celebrity people and people that would like to be celebrity people. They are people that I fundamentally do not care about. The celebrities that I do care about, I do not care how they look…… though admittedly most celebrities have a look, and that’s at the heart of the matter….. repetition. Even the oddest of odd becomes normalized through exposure. Repetitive exposure. That’s the answer.
