AIBU to LMAO at vanity fair Oscar party celeb pictures where they look real and awful at the same time

Well, of course they don’t want people to know what they really look like, and might get upset at being exposed…..mainly because of things like this thread…with horrible people gleefully discussing how they look. Multiply that by millions and I expect most people would not be happy.
Celebrities are in fact normal people. Normal people tend to be affected when insulted repeatedly about their looks or the crime of looking older. Some women are fucking vicious about other women’s looks or bodies. It’s pathetic.

She’s wearing blue contacts, changes her look completely I agree

Someone commented on a 1990s Oscar video the other day saying something along the lines of ‘wasn’t it nice when celebs looked normal with normal teeth and normal faces&lips!’

Me neither 🤷‍♀️

I suspect if ‘normal’ people were photographed in poor light, they’d look far worse.

I mean even with a lot of work - some of these ladies are just older, that they look about 20 (not 50-70!) is unlikely even with the best surgeons on the planet…!

Shows how edited most of the photos we see are.

A Daily Mail article attacking women's looks? Shocking

I’m not daft enough to think these people really look like their filtered pictures but it’s encouraging for those of us who can’t afford/don’t want procedures that they look relatively normal in reality.

I’m with you OP. Gave me a good chuckle. Heidi Klum and the Jenner/Kardashian matriarch in particular. It’s a good reminder that it’s all smoke and mirrors.

There's nothing natural about her face any more

Er...Im not sure shes aging naturally given she just spent £100,000 on some sort of procedure. She looks good though.

You’re pretty gullible if you thought their Instagram images were an accurate depiction of their complexion in real life. But also, if your enjoyment comes from laughing at other people’s appearance when it doesn’t live up to your expectations, that says more about you than their imperfect skin says about them.

I agree. Kris looks fine with her wrinkles. She's a beautiful woman. And looks great naturally for her age.

I don’t think they look too different. Certainly not ‘awful’.

They know what they look like but they just don’t want anyone else to!
I don’t think they look bad in the unfiltered pictures either

lol ‘with one actress reduced to tears upon seeing her photograph’
as if we needed any more proof that hollyweird is cloud cuckoo land.
if this story is true then it just shows how vain and desperate people have become.
i am often shocked when I see how fast the ageing process is affecting my face since i hit menopause and wish i could turn back the clock but i can’t afford the treatments and injectables that seem to be th norm now so i just get on with it really.
even if i could afford all that, i dont think i could devote th time to it and my ultimate aim would never to be to look like a waxwork automaton .
I don’t have social media anymore but I never used filters when I had it, I’ve had too many shocks when I’ve met people irl who I’ve only seen online before.
w laugh but also I think it is incredibly sad how much we have been told that our natural is not good enough

I didn’t think the light was unforgiving…just that the photos weren’t filtered? These people must own mirrors and must know what they actually look like. They must see their own original photos prior to photoshopping them. This can’t have been a surprise for them.

Quite cheering to see that they look normal. Although if I were Kim I would be having a word with my make up artist.

Also, I do realise how heavy the use of filters is. But I just sort of know that, it would never occur to me. Look at a picture like that and judge myself against it. Perhaps that’s an age thing, I’m in my early 40s.

I think they look just as good as they’re in their normal pictures. They basic face shapes are the same, but perhaps lighting is a bit less flattering. And you can see some have had surgery.

How old are you out of interest OP? this is the kind of post I would’ve written when I was in my early 20s, and deeply insecure.

I’ve very little interest in the Kardashians so something must have happened that I missed - but that doesn’t look like Kim in any way, shape or form, in either picture. Jjust me?? I wouldn’t recognise her.

Agree with pp that Kris looks nicer in the Vanity Fair photo. A bit of softness to her look suits her.

I don’t think they look bad at all. Honestly, it’s nice to see wrinkles and skin texture instead of the photoshopped to perfection we usually see. I think they all looked great - including the Kardashians!

Are you actually joking? Jeez no disrespect to the woman but her picture gave me a jump scare.

Vera Wang is 77 - I think she looks bloody fabulous ! There’s very little difference between the photos really - and in Kris Jenners case she looks better in the more natural photo

Thanks - this was the article I looked at - I honestly don’t think they look much different.
