Who is she?
her mouth looks weird

DamselNotInHerDress · 01/03/2015 19:33

I don't see her as perfect!
I've never seen her before so I'm going on that photo alone to base my opinion on!

I just see her as quite plain, nothing striking about her and her lips look fake - and I mean they purely in that I think they are odds to the rest of her features.

But yanbu to want to look like her - everyone has different perceptions on 'perfection' and for you, that is her.

Not sure what the aim of this thread was though, you're just going to get 10 pages of people critiquing her and others raging that no one should be judged on their looks! It's a blow for feminism I tell you!!

I looked at the link with the nine before and after pics, I dont think she has had much if anything done.
She has been scrubbed up and photoshopped in comparison to her before pics which are natural with bad skin, hair and clothes like any normal person. Even then she is naturally pretty imo.

ahfuckit · 01/03/2015 19:35

Err 'Just because someone has had some work done doesn't mean they become a non natural beauty'? Confused Yes it does - that's exactly what it means!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 01/03/2015 19:36

I think her lips look nicer in the before pics.

andango · 01/03/2015 19:40

So - nose job, trout pout and hair dye. Not verrry natural then.

wowfudge · 01/03/2015 19:41

Miranda Kerr is far, far prettier and more natural imo.

Trout pout I think her lips are amazing. Fake or real honestly if real life people get surgery their not judged if a famous person does their judged.

She's got that airhead look about her.

zippyandbungle · 01/03/2015 19:47

I really don't see it. But of course you can want to look like her if that's your thing. I personally don't like her look or her after her ignorant dying young comment re Kurt Cobain. Attention seeker at best.

QueenBean · 01/03/2015 19:47

I don't rate her. If she walked down the street you wouldn't look twice

She looks a bit cross eyed in some pictures too which isn't a look I'd aspire to

wowfudge · 01/03/2015 19:49

Sorry Google but that's rubbish. In rl people who have had surgery tend to be more open about it ime - they seem to want to invite comment, preferably favourable! Whether they are judged or not depends on whether they have had major hang ups/issues which their surgery has helped them overcome or whether it's purely been for vanity.

Ms del Rey was naturally pretty before her nose was slimmed and her lips puffed up. I can only imagine she had work done for her public image. I think it's really awful for a young woman to unnecessarily do that to herself.

missusdaly · 01/03/2015 19:50

Not my cup of tea at all but to each their own.

Surfboredcat · 01/03/2015 19:51

She looks nice in a 'Hollywood' sort of way but her eyes look dead.

LondonRocks · 01/03/2015 19:54

She looks wonky to me.

I don't get the appeal. Especially when it's plastic.

AlleyCat11 · 01/03/2015 19:54

Every time I look at her I just see wonky surgery face. Sad in one so young & naturally pretty...

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 01/03/2015 19:58

Looking at the pics she's had done: nose, lips, cheeks, chin (?!).

She does look striking now. i like ger sobgs but her views on women and feminism are dreadful. Really embarassing.

SomethingAboutNothing · 01/03/2015 20:00

Her lips are a bit overdone for my liking, and her eyes look dead to me, like there isn't a soul behind them. Probably because she sold it to become famous.

I think she was just a normal girl with average singing talents whose daddy paid her way to the top.

wondering2 · 01/03/2015 20:03

Sorry OP I think her face is a bit dull. She makes me feel a bit like this (the bored part not the shooting the wall bit):

ThisFenceIsComfy · 01/03/2015 20:10

I don't even know who she is and Google hasn't helped

She is obviously pretty fgs. Not the most beautiful in the history of anybody ever but yes, pretty.

Everyone should remember that with stylists, make up and great photographers, we would all look pretty lovely Smile

A bit like a Sindy doll eh Back2?

To want to look like Lana Del Rey
Wotsitsareafterme · 01/03/2015 20:19

I think she was really pretty in the before photos sort of quirky like Kirsten dunst. What a shame you can't be yourself on the media

JanineStHubbins · 01/03/2015 20:20

You're very invested in her, OP Grin

mikasamuels · 01/03/2015 20:51

Am I really reading these disgusting comments?

Wow. You all go on and on about the beauty and media industry putting pressure on women and making them feel worthless and ugly.

Then look at you here ripping a woman apart because of the way she looks.

It's so disgusting to see.

So she's had plastic surgery? Is she preaching it to impressional young girls that they need to do the same to become famous?

No didn't think so.

So she doesn't have great views on feminism. Surely she is entitled to her view what it is.

I think some of you need to actually think why you enjoy tearing others down based on their appearance.
