Meghan looks incredible! She has genuinely aged backwards

Of course Meghan has access to the best doctors and treatments that money can buy. But so do a lot of celebs who end up looking disfigured with cosmetic procedures.

If you’re a fan or not you can’t deny Megan looks phenomenal. Especially in her most recent pics.

I remember thinking her skin looked a bit sun damaged in her Netflix cooking show but she’s definitely had something done recently which has made her look VERY youthful!

No pillow face whatsoever. Very tasteful work. Of course she’s still young but she genuinely looks 15 years younger than her age.

Any guesses on what has given Meghan her recent glow up?

I am sure she looks absolutely stunning in real life, compared to the 'non U' mere mortals I see daily (and in the mirror), but I have never found her particularly attractive. I think she's a bit odd-looking and I would like to see what she looks like without make-up.

If you Google it, there's a picture of her without makeup and with her hair in a towel. She has lovely features, but you can see how makeup enhances her look.

Let’s face it most celebrities are above average at the very least, most are very attractive, combine that with huge amounts of money, time and access to all the best treatments and most will look great, Demi Moore, Jennifer Anniston all look fabulous it’s perfectly normal in celeb land so Meghan isn’t an exceptional example at all. I thought she looked dreadful in her pope get up the other day including the greasy make up, she looked lovely in the black dress, still didn’t like the make up.

She’s absolutely glowing. If a person can’t see that then they’re actually blinded by their hate.

id love to know what products have given her that glow. Her skin looks much fresher than it has in the past

Why can't you spell her name?
And why isn't this thread in the RF topic?

Meghan is an attractive woman and is often stylish. I loved her looks at Paris Fashion Week.
She's not ageing backwards though and she doesn't look "15 years younger". She looks like an attractive woman with all the privileges of immense wealth, including self care and a lot of time to have various treatments.
Her makeup is always excellent.

This.

When she gets a clothes style that suits her body shape and is venue appropriate she is often stunning.

I actually don’t like her (not that I really know her tbf!) but can’t deny she does look very youthful. Wish I knew her secret.

carpedaim · 10/10/2025 13:39

I don't understand the Madonna comparison. Madonna looked great at 44 as well - she's 67 now!

CitizenZ · 10/10/2025 13:39

I'm not sure if it is Wig Lace or she's been to the Donald Trump School of fake tanning, but the difference in colour on her face to her hairline is very noticeable on this video:

At 44 she is still a young woman and has that pared back Bessette-Kennedy look - nothing overdone, no big hair, 1" lashes, pouty lips and pillow face.

She's always been attractive - but of course it depends on which particular photo and the intended agenda of the publication the pic appears in.

Yes, we all look different in different photos. I think she knows how to present herself well, and while I don't doubt she's had a lot of treatments, none are over the top fillers and Botox that we see so much of. She hasn't ruined her lips, either. She's always had great makeup.

Your skin can. The aesthetics practice I visit has Visia scans of my skin going back to 2019 and I have fewer wrinkles, less redness, fewer darks spots, UV damage. By every measure, my skin is younger now than it was 6 years ago. (With the proviso that I am a recovering 1980s sunbather so there was plenty of room for improvement!)

Please may I ask what you did to achieve those results

It’s funny you believe she actually looks like that and has not been heavily edited 😂There’s an unedited photo of her on twitter

there’s also video footage of them arriving, photos taken by several different photographers, she looks like this in all of them. So has everyone heavily edited in the same way, or perhaps the one photo of her looking rough at the awards on twitter might be the edited one? Come on- you are allowed to not like what she does without having to pretend she’s not had good work done. (I know, you all hate her and are super annoyed she’d had work done but hasn’t ended up with a Madonna pillow face. It’s ok to admit you don’t like it when things go well for her. On the bright side, she’s probably really hungry.)

This is absolutely right. I do not have any interest in her, or the rest of the royal family. I really just can’t bother myself to have much of an opinion about them (and I am an opinionated hag) but I think she is fascinatingly beautiful. I find myself zooming in on her skin and her makeup. She looks exquisite

Wow, the voting is depressing.

Maybe the people voting YABU should post a picture of how they look now or at 44.

Today's photos of Yasmin le Bon (60) look fantastic too

FastFood · 10/10/2025 13:25

I guess the absence of worries about what you're going to feed your kids on a daily basis may help in keeping a nice glow.

Janiie · 10/10/2025 13:25

I think its the unmoving facial expression tbh, once she does one of her usual ott rictus grins then it'll be a different story.

A decent serum plus static facial expression will give a youthful look.

Empress13 · 10/10/2025 13:23

You’ve just said it money and access to the best treatment money can buy !

TheFoodLife · 10/10/2025 13:23

Fat transfer injections? Great make up?

hydriotaphia · 10/10/2025 13:23

Yes I find her cringey personality wise but she does look incredible - obviously she has always been a beauty but she looks incredibly young and glowing for her age. I am sure it is down to a combination of exercise, great diet, enough sleep etc and all the beauty procedures LA can offer. I would do it all if I could too.

She does look good. As I said on another thread about their award thing these photos are from - she’s clearly lost weight. That chubbiness around her face has gone. Am assuming good work too, as often weight loss after 40 can make your face look haggered, and she looks fresh with it. Not pillowy, not stretched, this is the look most women having work done want, like you but 5-10 years ago, not a warped version of you.

she’s got all the make up on as you can’t see her freckles, but it’s been applied very well.

(not photoshop as these are not from a controlled photoshoot but papped at an event and the papers would delight in a “Meghan looks rough” photo.)

Did she have weight to lose? She has been very very thin throughout her relationship with Harry. She can’t have had much fat on her at all
