Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I’ve never been a fan of her, but I quite like the work she’s had done in the past.

She looks pretty, especially after Botox sets a bit.

The upper lip looks weird from some angles, but it’s fine, because it’s MUCH better than trout pouts some “actresses” have. It’s is subtle compared to that.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. This and the fillers are grow-tesque.

Comment by Pam — November 3, 2009 at 8:02 am

I wonder what she would look like if she would have left herself alone and just aged gracefully? She had the most gorgeous curly hair. Her face was almost doll like. It’s so sad that people think they have to change what God gave them.

Comment by Marusya — November 3, 2009 at 8:32 am

Oh Pam, go on, age gracefully.

Aging is a choice nowadays.
One can look young much longer with the help of surgeries, cosmetology, nutrition and gym.
So you’re saying you want to look old? 0_o

The horror

Comment by Paul — November 3, 2009 at 9:04 am

But cosmetology, nutrition and gym are common, non-destructive and reasonable methods to look one’s best. I’ve yet to see one of these over-procedured celebrities look BETTER after all their lip, check, neck, forehead, teeth, etc. jobs.

It’s one thing to use Oil of Olay, avoid heavy sunlight, work out on the treadmill, get a flattering haircut and wear a stylish, youthful wardrobe. It’s quite another to go and permanently change your appearance (and usually for the worse) and wind up looking like a science experiment…especially when the “before” was so attractive already.

And if it’s “aging” that they’re looking to avoid, the sad irony is that often these procedures only make them look older because the contrast between their impossibly-tight, cheek-plumped faces and grotesque “full, youthful lips” is so often at odds with their normally-aging neck, hands and other body parts. So they wind up looking fake AND “oddly aged”. A sad two-for-two hit that they pay thousands of dollars to achieve.

Comment by Barbara — November 3, 2009 at 10:25 am

Please! All of you–stop! You do not look better. Who is telling these women fuller lips equals good looks? It doesn’t even look like her. She was cute, then glam, but, no, I don’t like this and I too wish the insanity would stop and people would grow old gracfully like Audrey Hepburn. Some women managed to have some good work done when it wasn’t a lot and noticable. This does not look like Nicole and when the people are unrecocognizable, something is wrong. This is a good example of wrong.

Comment by TundraFire — November 3, 2009 at 10:29 am

She’s looked subtly plastic and doll-like for years.

Comment by methfreeq — November 3, 2009 at 10:47 am

This one will vanish from the limelight within 5 years because of a surgery misshap. She looks disgusting

Comment by Freebie — November 3, 2009 at 11:03 am

Some of us ordinary beings are a tad jealous because we can’t afford cosmetic surgery. I’m 58 and went to find out what it would cost to touch me up without surgery, using fillers, etc. The non-invasive procedures I considered would have cost me over $10,000.00 with the results lasting approximately two years. I’ve decided to age naturally and as gracefully as I can. If I could afford it, you better be sure I’d have touch ups done every two to three years.

Comment by CK — November 3, 2009 at 11:41 am

She used to be so cute and natural-looking:

Keep in mind she is also very young in that picture and everyone changes as they age, but the waxy look of her skin and her shaved down, pointy nose make her look like a witch now.

Comment by Listerino — November 3, 2009 at 12:38 pm

She looks terrible. I agree with some of you above I don’t see why people feel they have to plump up their lips. Who decided having lips like a fish is sexy anyway? I can guarantee it wasn’t men. Just be happy with the way you look. You only end up looking worse in the end with plastic surgery.

Comment by kami — November 3, 2009 at 1:22 pm

I agree with CK. She was so pretty. I’m wondering what she saw in the mirror that made her want to change. Actually many of these Hollywood women are naturally beautiful but they F it all up with plastic surgery. Who thinks this is pretty? Ick.

Comment by Susan — November 3, 2009 at 1:54 pm

She should have left her lips alone, but she is still such a beautiful woman.

Comment by Rose — November 3, 2009 at 2:06 pm

She looks great. I wish I looked as good.

Comment by mamallama — November 3, 2009 at 2:12 pm

It’s not that she’s bad-looking, she just doesn’t really look like Nicole Kidman any more.

Comment by Ms. H — November 3, 2009 at 3:22 pm

Looks like she had a pipe cleaner implanted in her upper lip. Ridiculous. She did not need it to enhance her beauty. I always thought she was to classy to believe she needed such an enhancement. I guess it’s true–most actresses are insecure dingbats.

Comment by Can't act, can't accept her age — November 3, 2009 at 3:24 pm

As an Australian I grwe up seeing Nicole in teen magazines as a model – wild, crazy curls and freckles galore. Gorgeous. Thia waling waxwork is a travesty, and a monument to not being able to accept ageing or having Celtic skin and hair. In Australia we’re regularly treated to articles about what an intellectual Nicole apparently is, but in my book no woman with a brain can approach cosmetic surgery so uncritically. It is an industry pulling in millions out of generating dissatisfaction in people, and celebrities are its biggest advertisements. What would happen if we all just decided we liked ourselves as we are? The whole bloodsucking industry that feeds off our eroded self-esteem would collapse. Enjoy your ageing, Nicole – surely by now you’ve earned the right to get off that self-destructive ride!

Comment by Count Blah — November 3, 2009 at 3:36 pm

Nicole Kidman was beautiful when she was young/natural but at this point she’s been looking increasingly weird for YEARS. And yet most people still seem to kiss her ass and gush about her great beauty. They can’t be looking at the same woman I am…maybe they’re remembering her OLD face rather than looking at the current one.

Comment by Dy — November 3, 2009 at 5:43 pm

It just looks strange. Why does the implant not go all the way across her top lip? It looks like there’s a gap on either side. I don’t understand how they do these, but isn’t the whole point of them to make yourself look like you were born with this inflated lip? *shrugs* I’m sure in Hollywood, this is beautiful, but in real life, people look at these celebrities and wonder what the heck is wrong with them. They have all this money and fame and *this* is what they choose to do with it? Feed children in Bosnia – or get a limp implant and boob job? That’s such a tough call. I wish I had a tenth of what people in Hollywood with perfectly nice faces pay to ruin themselves. Katie Holmes – her nose was fine. What kind of message was she giving to young girls who looked up to her? I’ll stop, now.

Comment by MG — November 3, 2009 at 7:05 pm

I never thought she was all that attractive anyway. But I think the secret to lip enhancements is to make sure the upper lip is smaller than the bottom lip. When the proportions are wrong it makes the person look very weird and unnatural.

Comment by Alexis — November 3, 2009 at 8:31 pm

The lip just looks artificial. The botox brow looks sinister, and it appears she’s had cheek implants as well. Early on she did something to make her smile less gummy, and it really did improve her looks. She should have stopped there.

Comment by darvulia — November 3, 2009 at 9:06 pm

Now her face is totally misshapen, and I bet she´ll start fooling around those wrinkles, which I can´t tell if they are natural or the result of overstretched skin. She has seriously damaged her beautiful looks. She is talented, she should have gone the route of Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton who are so secure in their talent they don´t mess around with their looks.

Comment by vpg — November 3, 2009 at 9:33 pm

It’s NOT an implant. She has always had a very thin lips and a very thin upper lip that revealed aLOT of her gums when she smiled.

Now when she smiles, you’ll notice her gums are as exposed. That’s because she has had a procedure where they cut the inside skin of her upper lip to allow it to come down lower, not only hiding the gums a lot more, but also providing the APPEARANCE of more upper lip.

So, the REASON WHY HER UPPER LIP LOOKS SO WEIRD and ODDLY BULBOUS and why you can differentiate between the other line of her lip and the bulbous part, is because that SMOOTH SHINY PART OF HER LIP is actually the INSIDE /UNDERSIDE of her upper lip.

Comment by Brooke — November 3, 2009 at 11:00 pm

@ VPG
That’s what I thought– “It looks like someone turned the inside of her lip upwards”. I’m not familiar with the procedure you’re talking about, but whatever she’s done, it looks awful. I thought she was gorgeous in the early nineties, but some of those features that made her unique are all gone now.

@ Marusya
You MUST be a plastic surgery addict yourself, because I know I would much rather age naturally than be 55 and pathetically trying to hang on to my youth. What’s wrong with growing old? Nobody expects you to stay young and beautiful forever. Nicole Kidman was a pretty leading lady in her youth, but if she still thinks people want to see her in roles like her Australia role, she’s WRONG. She would, however, be perfect for the wicked witch in any of Disney’s upcoming movies.

Comment by courage — November 4, 2009 at 12:58 am

I have thin lips and hate them and as I get older,. they have become even thinner, If I could find a really good plastic surgeon and could use my own fat to inject them and make them fuller. I most certainly would. There is nothing wrong with chasnging your features if your unhappy with them!

VPG,
Thanks for that.

Comment by Bunnie — November 4, 2009 at 6:59 am

The top photo of Nicole looks better than the second. I agree with VPG that it is not an insert or lip filler. It is still not attractive. However, She is still pretty. Does she look like the old Nicole Kidman? No. But she has not gone so far as to look like the bride of Chucky like so many other actresses have. If she stops now, she will still age gracefully.

Personally, I hate that forehead. I swear it just grows bigger and bigger! I would rather see wrinkles or bangs than that huge forehead.

Comment by vpg — November 4, 2009 at 7:40 am

BTW – does anyone here know how we can change our avatar/pic? I can’t recall where to even go on this site to modify it.

Comment by Can't act, can't accept her age — November 4, 2009 at 8:08 am

Her performance in Australia was a total dog’s breakfast, as was that whole embarrassing film, which was confused and amateurish, not to mention patronising to aboriginal Australians.
Nicole has always been a wooden actress, and that frozen mask she wears full-time these days has taken away whatever drops of emotion she might have once been able to squeeze out. The only way to work out whether most of these Hollywood waxworks are emoting is to see whether their pupils are dilating or contracting.

Comment by Pam — November 4, 2009 at 8:47 am

You can age gracefully but you have to take care of yourself. You have to eat right, exercise, not smoke and limit sun exposure. Drinking ages one very fast. Tanning beds are the kiss of death. Plastic surgery does not make one look younger, it makes one look like they had surgery to look younger. I’m proud of my age, 42. I have been told many times I look like I’m in my early 30’s. I always think I’m how a 42 year old who takes care of herself should look. I see people younger than me that like to drink, smoke and tan and their skin is terrible. For all of you younger readers, please believe me, smoking, drinking, tanning, fad diets reak havoc on your body. Your skin is the largest organ. You have to take care of it.

Comment by lhannel — November 4, 2009 at 12:08 pm

“Aging is a choice nowadays.” ???? You wish. No matter the amount of money, you cannot stop the aging process. Old skin that is pulled with never look like young skin.
AND, by the way, I like old people. They look soft and wise. I prefer to look at wrinkles than to look at a wax mask.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?

Comment by Paige — November 4, 2009 at 1:44 pm

Yes, it IS an implant, and yes, that IS the inside of her upper lip that’s exposed. The procedure to hide her “gummy” smile is to place an implant on the underside of her upper lip. However, it looks like a gummy worm now.

Comment by Lola Granola — November 4, 2009 at 2:23 pm

What Pam said. Health shows in your skin–and if you ain’t got it, nothing a surgeon does is gonna change it for the better. You’ll only end up looking waxen…not young or pretty.

Comment by LIsaG — November 4, 2009 at 2:42 pm

It also appears, she has had an eyebrow lift. As women age, eyebrows do not get higher. But hey, its her face.

Comment by LIsaG — November 4, 2009 at 2:43 pm

Oh yea, she sure had a “gummy” smile in Dead Calm.

Comment by BikerK — November 4, 2009 at 7:30 pm

Why do these gorgeous women think they have to keep DOING things to themselves? I just don’t get it.

Comment by Brooke — November 4, 2009 at 8:54 pm

I agree with what Pam says, too! My mother is almost 60 but people say she could pass for a woman in her forties because she never tanned, smoked, did drugs, and to my knowledge she only drinks occasionally. Except for her hair color and some weight gain, she looks the same as she did when I was a kid. I want to age as well as my mother did

Comment by Susan — November 4, 2009 at 10:12 pm

Has anyone seen her in some of her early films? She looked very boyish with thin lips. She since has had extensive work done…obviously. Watch Far and Away and you will be shocked.

Nobody get’s lip implants anymore. I think it’s either bad photoshop or bad lip liner.

Her lips look like they’re inside out. She had a fresh and unique look when she was younger (definitely pretty too) but now she looks like any other Hollywood female.

Comment by Darian Zam — November 8, 2009 at 3:07 am

This is clearly rhetorical, so you should switch comments off – there’s nothing to say, nothing to add.

Comment by Becky — November 10, 2009 at 5:34 am

Ugh! That lip filler plus those honking big veneers make her look like she has an overbite which is not at all flattering to her face.

Comment by Boof — November 11, 2009 at 7:26 am

She has such a massive forhead, and it seems ever-growing. Maybe a darker haircolor might make it look less gigantic. Some people really need to let blonde go. They say a too-light haircolor, especially on fair skin ages you, because it tends to look like downy grey hair around the face.

Comment by CATHY from Green, OH — November 11, 2009 at 6:30 pm

to vpg:

That is very scary that you know what she did but that is exactly what it looks like even though I’ve never heard of such a thing. I think it’s actually pretty gross! However, she did have a wierd looking mouth before and it would have gotten wierder as time went on. Yes she had really thin lips but this look, I don’t know. Up close it’s icky.

Comment by CATHY from Green, OH — November 11, 2009 at 6:35 pm

sorry, that should have been “WEIRD”. Spelling was wrong in comment above and I couldn’t let it go. I was going by that rule ” i before e, except after c “. Weird must be an exception to that rule.

Comment by SELF_HATRED_IS_A_DISEASE — November 12, 2009 at 1:33 am

Plastic surgery never works out. It’s not a one time thing. A nose job that looked good in 2000 might turn around in2015 and you have to keep slicing and you can’t really predict how you will age so you end up looking a hot mess. But Hollywood wants to push this on us until we think it is normal. Do this one test here. Remove all media influence from your life for a week. in that week go out and see real people your average walmart employee really look at their features then turn your tv back on and sit back in horror. The people on TV will freak you out so much

An actor need a face that has expression. Especially, film actors. Those who get all this plastic surgery handicap themselves as actors. But looks, looks. looks. are all they care about. And most of them look dreadful- and strangely similar

Comment by Cankles McCellulite — November 26, 2009 at 1:22 am

The bottom pic really shows just how weird her lips are acting these days…i have seen that going on recently with a few actresses…is it a solid implant as opposed to filler?

She should have stuck with her naturally thin lips. I can’t imagine her natural top lip looking worse than this! Also, what is with the fad of having a top lip that is fuller than the bottom lip? I have very full lips (as most in my family do) and my top lip is NOT bigger than my bottom lip. I say, unless you have some type of disfiguration, leave nature alone!

Actually I guess no-one here saw the article on her using “Perfect Pout” that lip-plumping gloss available at the drug store…? She acknowledged having a thin upper lip and uses the lip-plumping gloss…. so do I it rocks… Buuut I didnt have as big a lip as that….

She’s still a stunning woman though <3
