I vote Yes, it’s botox. Look at the rest of her band. They look their ages. She does not.
Actually, she does look her age, but she has that greasy, frozen, wide eyed look over BOTOXing produces. The guys’ faces look relaxed.
Botox or not, she looks great.
Why all the hate against Botox? Sometimes it looks good. She looks smooth everywhere else. Why? Because you know she takes care of herself via exercise and eating healthy.
Well, if you can TELL if someone has had Botox, then no, it doesn’t look great. It shouldn’t be so obvious.
The owner of the salon I go to gets Botox and you could NEVER tell except that she looks incredibly youthful-her face is still mobile. The problem is that people become addicted and don’t know when to stop.
Sometimes you can’t tell in still shots, but it becomes obvious on video or in person when the ‘toxed victim starts to speak.
Sorry, but it looks VERY odd and alien-like.
I’m not against Botox if it makes someone feel better about themselves but the key is a good surgeon and a LIGHT touch.
This^^ the light touch is the key.
I also dont think its always as noticeable in person as it is in pics. I used to botox around my eyes and thought it looked good/natural but then I saw a pic of myself and I had that “deer caught in headlight” look, kind of like Denise Richards (charlie’s ex)gets. I stopped using after that b/c it was so odd to see in a pic but yet when i looked in mirror it seemed fine. My Dr. also went a little over board that time I think b/c I had to have a touch up since something was missed and I had this odd wrinkling going on from the muscle that was missed.
That said, it can be a great thing if done properly and in moderation.
“Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez are probably moving in together.”
hmmmm my husband and I were discussing this couple over the weekend and we both think it a PR relationship. For a lot of reasons but we both agreed mostly that she is too old for Mark, who is a perhaps a little too well known for liking them barely legal.
Don’t forget she likes them young. Eva’s ex husband Tony Parker was younger than her, so was Penelope Cruz’s brother who Eva also dated.
Poor Gwen trying to hold on to eternal youth by botoxing and dressing like she is still a twenty something rock star. Actually it doesn’t really bother me because I always kinda liked her.
Gwen looks fabulous!! What ever she is doing..it’s working. I just love her!!
I agree (:
I agree “hello” she does look great and whatever she is doing works. If you start to look anywhere near your age, people call you out and say you looked haggard. If you use botox, they tell you look fake. The first 2-3 weeks after having it done, the effects are pretty dramatic, but after a month or so things shift softly back into place. Rock on Gwen!
And Gwen can rock out till she’s 70 or older, like mick jagger, keith richards, david bowie…and so many other male rock stars who look ridiculous but loveable when they are 60 and wrinkled but still strutting their mojo….
you know? otherwise, it’s a double standard again-always the gender issue.
Gwen rocks it though-it’s just her style, IMO.
Unlike Madonna who looks ridiculous and try hard….Gwen looks natural in these clothes….
Oh, I remember Georgia King, she’s been in a few British girly-sleepover type films. She’s not bad but a little annoying. Not as bad as Juno Temple though. I think it was Wild Child that happened to pop on the TV a while ago and they were both in it – had to turn the damn thing off.
I like Gwen too but I saw her on Ellen the other day (don’t judge-it was on at the gym!) and I couldn’t believe how ‘tox-y she looked 🙁
I still find her beautiful though.
Oh and speaking of TOXED-I’ve been watching Season 4 of Damages and Glenn Close is starting to look like a wax figure. So sad because I adore her but she REALLY looks…strange…
OH YES about Glenn Close! She is very scary looking, but it fits her character so perfectly it’s kinda funny!
Isn’t it a shame that a little botox here and there doesn’t ever seem enough and the next thing you know some of the most beautiful and talented woman look less human than a Madame Troussea wax figure?
Yup!
At least Glenn can still act, even with botox!
I can deal with the botox look ~ It’s those nasty fillers that make you look all melty ~ THAT is such a scary look to me! I feel like if I ever saw someone like that (like Priscilla Presley) in person I would want to poke and push it around their face! 🙂
Exactly, Chat. I think people take it too far without even realizing it.
@ZZZ-My GOD that woman can act and yeah, I almost think the frozen face works WELL as the Patti Hughes character. It really reflects her calculating personality and makes her even MORE intimidating.
But still odd-looking though.
Are you liking this final season of Damages?
Yeah I just started-on Ep 3 but I do like it so far.
John Goodman is really great-interesting character. Forcing a traumatized war vet to REdeploy??
One of the most effed up things I’ve seen on a show!
agreed Kitten.. she is beautiful but up close pictures are not good, banging body though..
She looks good, but am I the only one bored with her style? That red lips/platinum hair/black clothes thing is getting seriously snooze-worthy.
I’m with you. I’d love to see a makeover/update of some kind. She’s beautiful and could rock any look, I’m sure.
I’m pretty sure Gwen had an eyebrow lift before she started the Loreal campaign. She had quite a few wrinkles around her eyes before that and now it’s totally smooth and in some pics she looks wonky. I think she went a step further than Botox… I’m disappointed because I’m a huge fan and she was aging really well. She looks so different now… I think she might have gotten a nose job too.
Yes, Gwen had a FULL Facelift over a year ago…
Too lazy to google but she showed up at some event (Cannes?) in Paris a year or two ago and it was obvious that her face hadn’t finished settling in.
A full facelift at 41? Seriously?
She’s not ‘toxy’. She’s also wearing black tights with her outfit which is a sure sign that a) she’s had kids and b) she’s over 30. I did exactly the same thing. I wouldn’t tox if I could afford it, but you can bet I’d wear that blazer and Nicholas K suspender pants style kamikaze get up.
https://svpply.com/item/756513/SHOP_BY_LOOK_WOMEN__PANTS__JEMINA
Why are tights a sure sign she’s had kids?
Gwen’s face is almost completely different. The botox is obvious but I wonder is she also didnt have a lower face lift. she now has an unnatural sharper chin line and the lower half looks very different, thinner and pulled, like what happens sometimes with lower lifts.
still love her and hope she has some new music coming soon.
The Carrie Underwood kissing a 12 year old? So disgusting and weird
I watched the clip and didn’t see anything wrong with it it was a pec for heavens sake not a full on lip lock.
She wears so many layers of make up it’s hard to discern what she has/hasn’t had done. IMO she looks overdone and seems to be in full-on hair and make up 24/7 regardless of the circumstances — i.e. a casual outing or performing on stage.
Ironically, it’s the more low maintenance celebs in her age group that look more youthful — Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz, Sandra Bullock, etc., etc.
Absolutely.
When will women realise that plastic surgery doesn’t make you look young, it makes you look like someone who’s had plastic surgery (ie wierd)? I mean, a bit of skillful work can do wonders for a woman’s (or a man’s) appearance when they’re in their late 50s or older, but this craze whereby any actress or singer over the age of 35 feels the need to fill her face with crap has to stop. The likes of Rachel Weisz, Salma Hayek or Julianne Moore(if they have had work done, it’s been done well) are so much more attractive than scary Nicole Kidman or Kylie Minogue.
Yeah, Julianne Moore is another example and it’s amazing that she’s over 50. Really!!?? A true beauty. She seems to have both feet firmly planted on the ground – despite the nature of her image-obsessed profession.
I’ve met Julianne Moore and up close she’s really, really fair. Her skin was so smooth!!!. She looked like she was still in her 30’s, and what a nice lady.
I think she looks good still but around her eyes if she pushes it any further, she will not look good any longer. Also her style (like what she is wearing with her band) is so 1999. Gwen has great style but I swear she wore that same get up over 10 years ago!
Thank you for the Kesha vid! I heart Kesha. I wish she was around when I was in my 20’s. I could have had SO much fun to her music. Now it’s good for the gym or impromtu girlfriend dance parties 🙂
I will never understand what people see in this woman. The platinum hair, Marilyn Monroe-iish look is so overdone and she’s been doing it for years.
Also, didn’t Gwen dye one of her kids’ hair blonde??? Who does that?
Ita. Ever since I read that interview where she talked about her obsession with her weight and fitting into sample sizes, she annoyed me. Also, I think she did dye Kingston’s hair which, I think, sends the child the message that he wasn’t good enough the way he was. Her kids are adorable, but their names are obnoxious.
New Girl was amazing yesterday. I always liked Zooey Deschanel, but never really thought she was a particularly good actress but lately her timing and delivery in New Girl is just spot-on. First episodes of the show weren’t as promising and Jess was more annoying than funny but the last few episodes, especially the newest ones were just great. I hope they won’t cancel it because of that ratings drop.
Should we be surprised she’s botoxy? It’s not like she’s ever champion a “natural beauty” look, it’s all a crafted image. I think she still looks pretty great though.
I’ve grown to really like New Girl. Winston and Nick are my favorites.
That Jezebel link is so sad and makes me angry as well. That judge needs his ass kicked.
Okay, I’m chiming in.
I think Gwen has had some work done and not just Botox.
Botox is great IF it’s done right and minimally from a reputable doctor at an actual clinic and you still need to do your research.
Botox was created to help people who had serious facial muscle problems like crossed-eyes and muscle spasms that caused them to clench their jaws and throats so that they could barely speak.
It was discovered after some time that it helped to smooth lines and wrinkles.
A little Botox helps a lot if it’s done by a qualified doctor and you younger ladies who think you’d never use it will probably reconsider at some point.
I’ve used minimal Botox for about 4 years but only between the eyebrows to prevent, “mad lines” and it does lift the inner ‘brows just a TINY BIT.
If you get Botox above and to the OUTSIDE of the eyebrows, you can end up with that Vulcan/Dr. Spock look.
Fillers are different. You should avoid those for the most part and some of those are used in areas that have never been approved.
As for Gwen’s looks…I think she looks awesome.
I do think she’s getting on a bit to dress like that and I ABSOLUTELY DON’T BELIEVE she is using drugstore hair color and I think she often uses extensions.
I also think one of the reasons that she looks younger than her band mates is because most men don’t take care of their skin and the other reason is that I think she avoids the sun and doesn’t smoke or drink and has pretty much always avoided that mess and it does make a difference.
THIS! I can’t believe that anyone is okay with that! And the money for child care SHOULD be thought of as restitution, not as “support” of any kind. My thoughts are with this poor girl and her family and I hope they kick that guy’s *ss!
Apologies to Nancypants, I didn’t mean to reply right under your post, but under Blue’s. Sorry!
Gwen has had a lot of work done, she is very insecure about herself — — she is like Kim K except she has a talent and can actually control her eating.
Both go overboard with the makeup at all times no matter what, and plastic surgery.
Glad you included a shout-out to Mindy Kaling. I heard a radio interview with her yesterday and she’s so smart and funny.
So I checked out her new show today on Hulu…I’d give it a tentative thumbs up. I’ll watch it again for sure and I watch next to nothing.
She’s definitely, 100% had work done. Tasteful, world-class cosmetic surgery. She looks great and has obviously made great choices (lifestyle, surgeons), so good on her.
she looks incredible! who is her dermo??? I want him/her
here check it out for yourselves… she had a significantly different face…

Love her.
Gwen looks amazing; maybe a little Botox but it still looks subtle enough where her face isn’t perpetually in a state of frozen surprise. The rest of the guys look good, too.
