Celebrity plastic surgery tends to go one of two ways: either really good or really bad. You have the younger crowd like Emma Stone, Lindsay Lohan, and Jennifer Lawrence that keep fans guessing whether they actually had any work done, while celebs like the late Joan Rivers and Madonna have telltale signs that something just isn’t quite right. Check out more of the good and the not-so-good plastic surgery transformations in Hollywood below.
Anitta
Brazilian singer Anitta isn’t shy about the cosmetic procedures she’s had. She’s openly spoken about her breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and lip fillers, even admitting to having “hundreds” of plastic surgeries over the years. We’ve gotta say, she looks good and is seemingly happy with the results.

Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway’s subtle plastic surgery needs to be studied. Though the actress hasn’t confirmed any work done, plenty of experts (and the internet) have chimed in on the possible procedures behind her youthful look these days. Honestly, whatever was done—if anything—is so well executed that you can barely tell she’s had any work at all. She looks like herself but glowing with extra confidence.
Bella Hadid
There’s something to be said about plastic surgery work that earns you comparisons to one of the most famous supermodels of the ’90s. Though Bella Hadid’s cosmetic procedures are very obvious, they have enhanced her natural beauty and have skyrocketed her career in the fashion industry. With all that said, Bella has expressed regret about altering her natural features.
Blake Lively
Blake Lively may not be everyone’s favourite celebrity right now, but one thing we can all agree on is that her alleged plastic surgery is impeccable. The It Ends With Us star is rumoured to have had eyelid surgery and a nose job done while she was in her 20s, but has never confirmed the speculations.
Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace has long been the poster child for plastic surgery taken to extremes. Her face has been visibly altered over the years, and not every change has been for the better. Sure, she’s managed to soften up the look in recent years, but it still looks less than natural.
Emma Stone
To be fair, Emma Stone has neither confirmed nor denied the allegations of plastic surgery that swarmed the internet after she stepped out at the Louis Vuitton fashion show in 2025. But you can’t shake the feeling that the actress looks, well, slightly different. Don’t get me wrong, she’s still absolutely beautiful, just different.

Jane Fonda
87-year-old Jane Fonda has been vocal about her cosmetic procedures. She’s had breast implants, a facelift at 40, and then another nip and tuck in her 70s. Even though it sounds like quite a bit of work, Fonda has made sure to keep her look natural. She still has lines and wrinkles that show her age, and we’d say she looks better for it.
Jennifer Lawrence
While the beautiful Jennifer Lawrence has only admitted to a nose job to correct a deviated septum, some professionals speculate that she may have undergone other subtle cosmetic enhancements. If she has had any other work, it’s indistinguishable enough that she still looks natural.
Joan Rivers
The late Joan Rivers was mainly known for her sharp wit and comedic timing…but also the extensive plastic surgery she had undergone. Of course, she completely owned the transformations and even dubbed herself “Hollywood’s Queen of Plastic Surgery”. While not everyone will agree that the procedures looked natural, it’s clear that Joan Rivers embraced her look fully.
Jocelyn Wildenstein
Before she became known as “Catwoman”, Jocelyn Wildenstein was an absolute beauty. The Swiss socialite shared old throwback pics on her daughter’s birthday in 2024, and it’s hard to believe how unrecognisable her face is because of the alleged plastic surgery. Yes, she still denies having any work done.
Kate Beckinsale
Kate Beckinsale says she’s been hounded by accusations of plastic surgery for years, but is adamant that she has never gone under the knife. That said, it’s hard to deny that her appearance has changed quite dramatically. However, she attributes the change to weight loss and ageing.
Kim Kardashian
If you compare pictures of a younger Kim Kardashian to her current look, you might think that you’re looking at two different people. However, the reality TV star has denied having major surgery done to alter her look. As beautiful as she is now, you can’t help but feel like it was never necessary for her to make all the changes.
Kris Jenner
Momanger Kris Jenner is one of the few celebs who has been completely transparent about the work she’s had done. Jenner even documented her first facelift on an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians back in 2011. It’s no surprise that she’s chosen to go under the knife again, and may we say it’s taken years off her appearance. Pretty impressive, Kris.
Lindsay Lohan
‘It Girl’ of the noughties, Lindsay Lohan, went through some very public struggles with substance abuse and legal issues. Let’s just say she definitely wore the effects on her face. Of course, she’s made a glowing comeback in the past few years and even stepped out in 2024 with a look to match. The star denies having any work done, but professionals and the internet allege otherwise. We just love seeing her confident again.
Madonna
You might have to do a double-take when you come across pictures of Madonna now. The Like a Virgin singer is almost unrecognisable. Years of plastic surgery seem to be catching up with her.
Melanie Griffith
68-year-old Melanie Griffith is one celebrity who went too far with her plastic surgery. She shared in an interview with Porter magazine that she didn’t realise it was, in fact, too much until people were commenting on her drastic change in the media. She’s since had much of it dissolved, and she looks great for her age.
Michael Jackson
You can’t talk about celebrity plastic surgery without mentioning one of the biggest changes the industry has seen. Though Michael Jackson attributed much of his transformation to his skin condition, vitiligo, it’s clear that he underwent multiple plastic surgeries to get from point A to point B. Nose surgery is definitely in the mix.
Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke admitted that only some of the plastic surgery he underwent was needed to repair injuries sustained during his boxing career. The rest was overindulging in cosmetic procedures and maybe even choosing the wrong surgeon to perform the work. Rourke is proof that plastic surgery doesn’t always turn out glamorous.
Perrie Edwards
Maybe it’s age, or maybe a change in makeup, but Perrie Edwards has definitely evolved her look over the years. The Little Mix singer looks very different compared to pictures of her on the X Factor stage. Edwards denies having work done, but professionals and the internet speculate otherwise. Either way, she looks stunning.
Priscilla Presley
Priscilla Presley allegedly received silicone injections from an unlicensed practitioner in the 2000s. Unfortunately, it left the raven-haired beauty with permanent scarring and a permanently swollen appearance. One of pop culture’s most iconic faces changed forever because of a botched job.
