Lauren Sanchez before and after. What is it with inflatable lips and sculpted cheeks and the inflated breasts? She looked like a nice, attractive woman before.

That is an awful picture but it's obviously fake because if you look her up she doesn't look like that at all. It's sad that she felt she needed work when she's so naturally beautiful anyway though.

Agree with this. It’s disappointing really. His ex wife seemed lovely.

What about her life or career makes you think she only has one brain cell?

To be honest, for a tech bro, Bezos has let the side down. Normally they go for normal looking women with more than one brain cell. He has gone for a ‘Love island’ contestant type with a bad surgeon.

Whatever floats your boat.

She looks happy.

You would be too if you married one of the richest in the world 🤣

The rich men who have clearly had lots of work done don’t get half as many comments. Look at old pics of Musk, Bezos and Cowell. They have all invested in their faces and look very different over the years.

While I wouldn’t choose Lauren’s style even if I had all the money in the world, she lives in a world socialising with people like Kris Jenner and her daughters and want to keep up. Some people clearly see investing in cosmetic treatments as necessary to keep on working in roles where you’re photographed a lot. The alternative is to become one of those “look at what X looks like now” articles with the red ring of death pointing out your flaws. For most of us it’s not a choice that we can afford to make but it clearly works for lesser mortals like Katie Price and Love Island contestants - Turkey teeth and all.

Off topic but kris Jenner is looking rather fresh these days, deep plane face lifts seems to be the new holy grail !

Well, I mean…it got her the richest man in the world no? Maybe that’s why 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’d also like to see what your husband looks like.

annzen · 01/07/2025 19:32

The lips get me every time. I think a lot of women can look good with some (subtle or obvious) work, but the lips (to me) always look so false and ridiculous - signposting the plastic surgery on the face!

I'm happy with my older face, and my turkey neck. But then again I wouldn't like to be married to anyone like Jeff B either, no way. That lifestyle would kill me. Honestly, the lengths I'd have to go to look halfway decent and stay that way until I'm 90 would be just too much!

19ptrialprice · 01/07/2025 19:32

Op why don’t you post a picture of yourself so why can judge your looks, surely that would be a sensible idea so we can compare?

Hdlll · 01/07/2025 19:31

Major of plastic surgery never makes the person attractive. It’s the trout pout lips are the worst

PopThatBench · 01/07/2025 18:56

I think, in their circle, they must stand out if they don’t have the surgeries/fillers so it might play on their self-esteem.
Imagine going to a party of 40-50 year-olds and they’re all botoxed to the max with perfect figures etc. and you’re stood there with your normal figure, normal beauty, normal facial lines etc.
I couldn’t change my face though, I’d be too scared about it going wrong 🥲

I think I'd look pretty good among them tbh. Like a breath of fresh air.

DiamondThrone · 01/07/2025 19:31

The photo on the right is not how she looks now. Her lips are not that full. It has been exaggerated.

Yes, she's had work done. Just like a lot of women - and men.

She seems pretty happy to me. She has other accomplishments than her looks.

ToKittyornottoKitty · 01/07/2025 19:27

You said your husband thinks she looks awful,
compared her to a blow up doll, said her husband will leave her for someone younger and called her a bimbo, all on this thread you’ve started to encourage other women to talk about how awful they think she looks too. Yes you are so lovely promoting self esteem in women, well done 👏

Talking about someone’s appearance because they’ve had plastic surgery is one thing but to say that her husband will leave and a bimbo scream envy. Rich and married to a billionaire. Who wouldn’t want that? Envy isn’t not an attractive trait.

Orangemintcream · 01/07/2025 19:29

Because a lot of men like it and she wanted one ? She’s netted herself the richest on the planet so I guess it’s worked.

DH made a similar comment when we saw a young lady looking pretty similar to that today.

My response was, well while I might look at her and think “what a mess, why has she done that to herself?” she probably looks at me in my tracky pants, no makeup and towel dried hair thinking “what a mess, why doesn’t she make more effort”.

horses for courses, we all like what we like 🤷🏻‍♀️

No I said why do people think surgically enhanced women with large lips, sculpted cheekbones etc are beautiful?

High cheekbones and full lips are usually markers of beauty so people get them through surgery. And generally it improves people particularly for the camera, it's the getting old and continued work that makes it look too much.

Bezos first wife helped him set up the business and is a distinguished author. She took half his money in the divorce settlement so he's gone for a bimbo second time around

Is she actually a bimbo though, or are you just basing that on how she looks? A PP said that everyone who has known her only have very positive things to say about her.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 01/07/2025 19:25

Needless to say I use Amazon too.

I don't think she is stupid at all.
