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.
Some of those celeb plastic surgery websites are really grasping at straws. I’m really skeptical when the before photo shows the person smiling and the after photo isn’t smiling. When you smile it widens the nose, so of course it looks different.
So I’d rather see a non-smiling, front-on pic. And nothing airbrushed like that crazy Beyonce ‘after’ photo. That almost looks like a cartoon.
The other weird thing is how nosejob shapes have their fashions. The Angelina ‘before’ nose – that shape used to be fashionable in the ’60s.
Upon further internet investigation, I think perhaps Beyoncé hasn’t had a nose job. I can’t be sure, I’ll take that one down!
Some of those plastic surgery sites do indeed grasp at straws. I love the ones that have a before and after that look exactly the same!
What you seem to miss is that most of these women also have the perenial FACIAL LIPOSCULTPURE (liposuction of the cheeks done from the inside of mouth with microtools); CHEEKBONE IMPLANTS (Winona Ryder, Halle Berry, Salma etc…) and many also get chin implants on top of it all (Jennifer Aniston, google her: she got a huge one to try and emulate Angie). Angelina Jolie has had all that AND a BROW LIFT!
Kate Winslet? She also has had blepharoplasty, like Marilyn. Started out with tiny eyes and ended with round eyes and eyelids that finally show. Megan Fox had a brow lift to make her eyes about 40% smaller (they were round, now they’re cat-eye!)
As for Winona Ryder google her: she had a huge potato nose! Apparently she’s had more than 1 nose job because it was HUGE!
And all the men get nose jobs as well: Gilles Marini, Harrison Ford, Chris Meloni, Jack Nicholson etc.
Ricky Gervais admitted to cheek implants.
How you can tell a chin implant: vertical lines on both sides of the chin. There is no bone and no muscle is shaped vertically like that!

Same tiny nose. Make up artists have tricks to make your nose look thinner, but she has always had a tiny perfect nose.
BS, you people are blind. Natalie Portman definitely had a nose job, accept the facts. They do this for a LIVING, of course they want to be beautiful b/c cha-ching they get paid for it!
You can’t compare pics of pubescent girls to their adult selves and deduce surgery! Teenagers carry more fat on their faces left over from childhood, which believe it or not can ‘fatten up’ a nose. I know this from personal experience comparing my 14 year old nose to my 18 year old nose in school photos and seeing for myself that the loss of puppy fat defined my cheekbones AND thinned out my nose! Yes noses carry fat on them too!
I also know what angles to turn my face to make my nose look smaller and to highlight my cheekbones. If you’re not comparing pics taken at the exact same angle then you’re comparing apples with oranges! A good example in your list in the Megan Fox pics which were taken at almost identical angles with similar lighting.
Yes some celebs have has surgery, but you can not be serious with your attempts at outing celebs when you use pics of them as children. Pull out your own teenage photos and play spot the difference with yourself… if you can handle the criticism!
Your nose and face shape changes after time. Mine changed A LOT in the past 10 years, I was way skinnier 10 years ago, but my face, nose, cheeks were much fuller.
NATALIE has NO difference at all on those pictures. Sorry, I’m not saying she had not gotten a nose job, but those pictures only shows the same nose many years apart.
That Angelina side by side has long been proved to be a fake. It’s actually from a gif, that some hater website concocted. Ask yourself when Jolie even had blonde hair, and then ask yourself why, if this actress has blue ray DVDs out of her from when she was a child actress and crystal clear candids of her at 11, why is there a need to use this odd grainy obviously manipulated picture that looks like it was smeared in Vaseline to boot. I’m not saying she didn’t have a nose job, I personally don’t see it, but I don’t know – I do know that pic is a fake. Jolie has the same bone structure as her father, she didn’t ‘carve’ it out. You sound like a bitter Aniston fan. Oh, and by the way, the only subtlety to Aniston’s nose jobs, is in the minds if her ‘fans’ she’s now admitted to two, and n reality has had 3. Her real nose, evident in this pic, proves its not subtle AT ALL. Not to mention it didn’t help her at all, she’s still vaguely Sarah jessca parkerish.
