I mean, her mum is nice looking, for sure. But Michelle is next level!

@SwissRollsRoyce

My point is, none of you discussing her looks need to. At all. You can't say you support women and publicly discuss their faces and how they achieved it on a public forum. She is a new mum, leave well alone.

Well I completely agree about discussing her looks. Pages and pages of dissecting someone's appearance is toxic and vacuous in the extreme.

But you've also failed to engage with the point about why people have written screeds and screeds about whether she's had surgery and why women feel the need to "augment" themselves while men don't?

As I've said before I don't blame her for doing it but you're missing the broader point which is that she is under huge pressure to do it while men aren't. That's a capsule definition of patriarchy for you right there. But you're dismissing this when other people mention it and saying you feel sorry for other people's daughters when they bring it up etc. Why can't you see that this is exactly what patriarchy is and why it undermines women?

I really do like her natural look but she looks very, very glamorous now and I wish it was Michelle looking back at me when I venture to look in the mirror.

Oh, and FFS can we stop pretending that filler is the same as hair colour or nailpaint and asking where we draw the line? It's very clearly more harmful.

Have to disagree, there have been suggested links to cancer with use of hair dyes, allergies, reactions. If you go onto a sunbed or in the sun to get a tan that is well known to be harmful. Most of us are fake to some degree even if its just putting on foundation. I'm not condemning anyone, I wouldn't leave the house most days without my foundation and mascara for fear of scaring young.children. It just seems s bit unfair that she is being critiqued the way she is.

Maybe we should be directing our ire at the unrealistic expectations that women have to live up to from men (and other women.). This is heavily influenced by the conditioning we experience from newspapers, magazines Internet, instagram, filters and Hollywood.
I'm especially fed up with portly rude men telling women they're fat and or ugly...Donald Trump are you listening ?

Hi, I just think that in picture 1 she was much younger and in picture 2 she is tanned, lots of make up with shading in cheeks, lipstick etc - yes you can tell she has had lip fillers in photo, but a lot can be achieved with good make up skills. I still think she was beautiful before and is just a lot more "glamorous" looking now. I prefer her natural look but she isn't the only woman or man feeling the need for surgery. It doesn't bother me - only when people deny having any. Shame people feel they need to but their business really.

Maybe all men over a certain age think they're more gorgeous than they are and can critique women for their flaws while blind to their own...cue this from the orange one as if to prove the point . 😂

If you disqualify someone from the concept of 'basic human decency' because they commented on an actress's ears then you really do need to get out of the house more.

Also the man in question made the comments to his wife in private. He didn't say this publicly. And it sounded as though he was decompressing after spending the evening looking after celebs who took themselves far too seriously.

I think DT has a unique vanity.

As for "critiquing women for their flaws while blind to their own" probably describes 99.9% of the people on this forum (except me of course as I am part of the 00.1% absolutely gorgeous natural perfection).

Its 'Do as I say' not' 'Do as I Do' on this forum.... A mild comment on an ear is flagrant misogyny if uttered by a male in relation to a female!
