Transcript by OP

I feel bad for being disappointed at seeing certain actresses get cosmetic work on their faces. It feels hypocritical of my belief of "let women do whatever they want to their bodies".

It's weird because Kylie Jenner, Glorilla and Millie Bobbi Brown are on my "Leave her alone!" list where I feel defensive of people judging their looks regardless of how I feel about them as celebrities.
But Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Taylor Swift and Anne Hatheway's face changes made me feel disappointed regardless of how I feel about them as celebrities.

[(Anonymous)]

If I believed for one second that half the celebrity women getting cosmetic surgery did that stuff to their faces and/or bodies because they want to, I'd be all for it.

I know there are plenty of women who genuinely do, and more power to them... but the vast, vast majority seem to just be terrified of aging out of an industry that puts you on the shelf at 23, or looking less than Instagram-filter perfect every last second of the day, or not being as 'hot' as the girl who'll be brought in to replace you when you get one (1) zit or wrinkle or blemish... and that just makes me sad.

[(Anonymous)]

This. And there have been older actresses who mention the pressure to look decades younger than their actual age, if they want to stay employed.

[(Anonymous)]

exactly: informed consent means "because I want to" is not being forced by everything around you. Abusers, media, self-sabotage, poor life choices, an agent, whatever, if you're ready to listen to them and not actually think for yourself, you're no longer informed and cannot make that choice for yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, exactly. And once they get to, say, Nicole Kidman or Alison Janney's age, it starts to restrict what roles they can take (rich character who would have had plastic surgery yes, regular person no), but if they didn't do it, they probably wouldn't be getting much work at all. UK actors excepted, to some degree.

[(Anonymous)]

It's funny you say that, as I just watched the 1963 film Charade and had read that Cary Grant was worried about the age gap between him (59) and Audrey Hepburn (33) as unseemly... and now a 33-year old would probably be seen as "too old" to pair against an actor in his 70s.

[(Anonymous)]

Kylie Jenner?

[(Anonymous)]

Why the bloody hell would someone willingly call themselves Glorilla?

[niconiizura]

She's a rapper; it's her stage name.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it's pronounced Gloria, NOT like gorilla.

[tabaqui]

Maybe I just don't pay enough attention, but everybody here (except Jenner, I couldn't pick her out of a line up) looks...like they always look? Whatever work they've gotten is pretty small and subtle/good, because I honestly can't tell the difference.

[(Anonymous)]

Same, they look like themselves just not 25 anymore, which shocker faces change as we age?

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. And some of it can honestly be due to a change in hairstyle/color rather than actual cosmetic surgery - when I changed my hairstyle after having pretty much the same one for 15 years, I was shocked by how many people thought I had gotten work done just because my hair framed my face differently!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh not me, I 100% think every single one of these women look terrible compared to before they got their faces filleted and filled. They all have the same “fresh from the mortician” look now. Sure they can do what they want but I have zero problem with people talking about how terrible it looks. Especially when the cosmetic work hurts the woman’s ability to perform.

[(Anonymous)]

I find it interesting how the women on the 'okay' list are women in their 20s, while the women on the 'disappointing' list are in their mid 30s-early 40s.

[(Anonymous)]

Also, how many of these are actual changes, and how many of this is just aging faces combined with a changing style of make up?

[(Anonymous)]

Idk about Kylie Jenner, Glorilla, or Emma Stone, but all the others have talked to some extent about having work done. You can also see it because that is not how faces age and the ones who get fillers always look deformed when they get it topped up.

[(Anonymous)]

This. So much.

[(Anonymous)]

Very good point there.

[(Anonymous)]

I cannot imagine defending Kylie Jenner. With her money, she does not need me to.

Granted, none of these women need me on their defense squad and they all have more money than I will even interact with in the full course of my life... I would just draw my 'leave her alone' lines differently than OP I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

As far as these examples go, I don't think any have aged out of the business yet. So I'm not concerned with how they want to experiment with plastic surgery.

What saddens me is actresses like Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, etc. (all of whom I adore) just... never aging due to surgery. And I understand any such choices they make in a youth-obsessed industry, but it skews public perception so much. I remember, about a decade ago, sending a selfie to a fandom friend who was in her 20s, who knew I was around the same age as Paulson, and she was like - "OH damn." She thought I looked really old for my age because, at her age, she didn't have a realistic concept of what a 40-something female looked like.

It's like when you see that old still of Steve Martin and Diane Keaton from Father of the Bride, looking like a middle-aged couple, and they just look ancient to us now because the standard is so unnaturally skewed.
