Celebrity Nose Jobs

During the nightly internet browse this evening I came across a photo of Kate Winslet that blew my mind a little. I have always thought she was quite beautiful, and what I loved about her was that she seemed natural. Not fake and ridiculous like Jordans and the Lohans or the Madonnas; a natural beauty. So I was rather shocked to find out that she, amongst almost every beautiful female celebrity it would seem, is fake. Almost all of them are a slightly refined and better looking version of themselves. Fraudulent, you might say.

I’m not really sure what to make of this phenomenon.  Sure, we expect celebrities to be super fine and better looking than the rest of us mere mortals, but what does it mean if none of them are natural?  What is this saying to women and girls the world over? Does this not set impossible standards that people will try to reach thinking they are achievable just by buying some celebrity endorsed products?  And more importantly, will they be paying for their kids to have nose jobs when they grow up so they look more like their parents?

So here’s a list of celebrity nose jobs that you probably didn’t even know had had nose jobs*.  The scary thing is they almost all have the same nose.

Kate Winslet

Homely to beautiful in just one quick and easy step.

Scarlett Johansson

It could be she grew into her nose, but shit, that’s a whole lot of growing she must have done.

Giselle

Even the world’s most beautiful woman needs a bit o’ refining.

Angelina Jolie

No wonder she’s so beautiful, she’s carved out by an artist!

Jennifer Connelly

She was so awesome in Labyrinth.  Now she just has a sharper nose.

Gwen Stefani

This makes sense.  I never remembered Gwen Stefani being that attractive, but now she is.  New nose.

Jennifer Aniston

Even though everyone knows Ms Aniston had a nose job, I had to include this purely as an example as the best and most subtle celebrity nose job ever.

Megan Fox

You can’t have a slight bump!  IT MUST BE PERFECT.

Halle Berry

If she wasn’t famous I’m sure no one from her high school would recognise her if they passed her in the street.

Winona Ryder

Oh yeah, she’s heaps hotter.

Jennifer Lopez

Once Jenny from the block, now she’s Jenny with a better nose.

Salma Hayek

There was nothing wrong with it in the first place.  It made her distinctive.  Now she looks like at least 10 other girls.

Keira Knightley

WTF happened here?!  Half her nose has disappeared.

Natalie Portman

And the finale, every man’s favourite natural-looking fakey, Natalie Portman.

* Allegedly. I take no responsibility for celebrities who use contouring like there’s not goddamn tomorrow.

    Laziest Blogger Ever

    Remember that time you moved from Textpattern to WordPress about 5 years ago and had all those uncategorised posts and missing images and meant to fix it but never did because it was like 15 pages of posts to go through and it seemed like such a hard job to fix and then you did it and now it’s 12:20am. Yeah.

    iPhone 4

    Ever since the iPhone 4 prototype was accidentally released, I have been wanting one so hard.  But I never get Apple products on their first release because there is usually something that is a bit bung that needs to be ironed out.  And this product/version is no different.  God dammit!

    Im awesome at Photoshop

    Sorry Cyanide and Happiness.
