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.

The Lauren Sanchez hate is getting really tiring. Not a fan of her but it's so obvious loads of women are just jealous that someone who doesn't fit their ideal of what a beautiful, classy woman should be, ended up marrying the world's richest man.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAAHAAH
OMFG what BS. Bless your heart love.

She has the money and reach to access the best surgeons for the best “natural looking” enhancement. Instead she chose this look.

This is no different from rich pompadour-era women wearing more and more preposterous wigs and gowns and corsets and make up. We just have the technology now to go inside a body, not just fiddle with the outside.

It’s all about status and connotations. Her appearance is obviously deeply important to her, for specific reasons.

I get why you've written the things that you have, in response to my opinions, but on this occasion I'm afraid your interpretations have been very wide of the mark, and genuinely aimed at the wrong target.
I don't take it personally, and I wish you peace and happiness.🙂
And I apologise for the sweary bits too. It wasn't because you had an opinion, it was just frustration at your seeming insistence on picking a fight.
As someone else has pointed out, Mumsnet was originally for 'parents', not exclusively just for mums. It is streets ahead of any other site in terms of info, interest and discussion, which is why I continue to come here.

You’ve proven exactly what type of person you are the minute you pressed post, telling me to fuck off. I urge you to control your aggression, you are not coming off as a decent man, especially if you have full custody of your children.

I'm sure she's with him for his wonderful personality and scintillating wit and it is in no way a transactional relationship. The ex-wife (who co-founded amazon) that he cheated on to be with Lauren seems very nice, quite the philanthropist.

I would be happy to see less of them, they're not my idea of aspirational.

She looked lovely when younger, as I'm sure we all did even though we were probably too insecure to realise it..

You're not coming across too well yourself, tbh 😐

I think the "as long as she's happy argument" is a bit of a misdirection as it's the bigger picture some people are trying to get at here. If she's happy then great, good for her! But, the problem with this particular beauty standard is that the sex doll look in itself is deeply misogynistic - its based on a highly pornified view of women. If some women choose to present themselves this way that's an individual choice that of course they're free to make, but we shouldn't ignore the wider implications it has for women as a sex class.

Glitchymn1 · 01/07/2025 22:36

She was absolutely gorgeous before. She looks deformed now.

fanmepls · 01/07/2025 22:39

Are people criticising the fact she had surgery or that they don't like the vulgar look? Would it be ok if she had discreet work?

ThatCyanCat · 01/07/2025 22:40

She doesn't look like that, it's an altered image. You can tell she's had work done, especially her lips, but she doesn't look like that.

As to why, you know why. Women are judged in their appearance far more than men ever are and not allowed to age. It's bad enough for those of us who were never raving beauties to start with; for a woman whose beauty is her currency, it's even worse. Your sense of perspective gets skewed when everyone around you is getting this stuff done and you'd stand out more if you didn't. Unscrupulous practitioners will say and do whatever keeps the money rolling in. And despite all the shite she's getting for how she looks after all that work, I bet anything that if she had aged naturally with little or no work done, she'd get just as much abuse as she does now.

Historically, features that suggested wealth have been widely considered to be desirable even if they aren't objectively beautiful. White skin once suggested you could afford not to have to work in the sun, then a tan suggested you had the money and time to go away on holiday to a hot country. In some circles, it's likely that evidence of surgery and enhancements suggests that you're rich enough to have them done.

I do think America is a bit special. I went to a millionaire's wedding there and it was grotesque, all these waxwork imitations of human females and no indication of what age they were unless you looked forensically at upper arms etc. They all seemed very frightened of being outshone by the others.

Ah, that good old fashioned phenomenon of a man copying a woman. So unoriginal.

Zov · 01/07/2025 22:43

I agree. I don't think I have seen many women look better after having procedures and fillers. Including most celebs. Only ones I can think of are Michelle Keegan and Kylie Jenner. (Although they were still pretty before.)

Kylie Jenner has never been pretty. She wasn't then and she is even less so now. Michelle Keegan looks better than most of the other over enhanced ones, but she would still look better IMO with less done, she looks a bit frozen.

Don't some of you think what Katie Price is doing to herself is all kinds of wrong? She looks like she's mutilating herself. Emaciated because of fat jabs, tattooed all over and numerous boob and face jobs.

Yes. She was such a stunning young woman. She looks dreadful now. What a shame. Sad

You should probably concentrate on raising your kids and setting a good example to them. Because all I see is red flags.

I'm afraid you're attacking the wrong target, as I've said, and just making yourself look petty and somewhat bitter.
My kids are all grown up now, and leading happy lives. As I hope for you too.

Nah. I dont understand why women want to look like blown up dolls

What's so hard to understand that women are individuals and have different tastes?
I can't think of anything worse for myself, it's so not me but doesn't mean I can't understand others wanting to do it.
So I've voted YABU for judging and sneering at others and starting a thread on someone to bitch.

askmenow · 01/07/2025 23:15

Ugh, its disgusting!
Why do women plump their lips to resemble swollen labia majora. A result of the pornification of society?
