Kris Jenner suddenly looks younger than all of the people she gave birth to. The 69-year-old’s glow-up is so dramatic that there isn’t any speculation she’s had a facelift; everyone’s just certain of it. Even her representative hasn’t wasted time and energy denying it, instead telling Page Six: “We can confirm that Dr Steven Levine did Kris Jenner’s recent work.”
Her face, her choice, of course… or is it? Kris’s ethos is clearly at the opposite end of the spectrum to someone like Pamela Anderson’s, who recently made another make-up-free appearance at the Met Gala. But when it comes to ageing, do celebrities have a responsibility to the public to set a good example, or is it every woman for herself?
(Note: I’m not including men in this, because it is somehow still a truth universally acknowledged that they only get hotter with age, and no man in the history of the entertainment industry has ever had plastic surgery, obviously.)
I’m grateful to the famous females who are getting older before our eyes. They’re doing us a great service, reminding us that we shouldn’t feel ashamed of a natural biological process, which is, let’s not forget, a privilege. It’s wonderful that they’re out there, fighting misogyny.
And it is presumably far from easy for them, because of the level of criticism and, weirdly, vitriol they receive simply for daring to look different than they did years ago. Check out the comments online: complete strangers are genuinely angry with them for it, and that reaction is largely accepted as normal and fine.
But indebted though we are to these women, they don’t owe it to us to be role models. That feels like too big an ask. What we should expect, though, is integrity. Even there, though, the bar is low. We don’t need exact details of procedures, or the surgeon responsible – I don’t know about you, but I’d struggle to scrape up the air fare to New York at the moment, never mind the $45,000 Jenner’s doctor’s face procedures reportedly start at.
But what we should demand is that celebrities don’t lie. Specifically, that they do not secretly have plastic surgery, and then say their youthful appearance is all down to this magic face cream, which naive saps (hiya) will then rush out to waste their money on. They don’t have to be entirely honest, just not entirely dishonest.
That’s one thing about Kris Jenner. Say what you like about her and the rest of her family – and everybody has, repeatedly – but they’re very open about this. Revealing all is, of course, their raison d’etre. But still, they constantly go above and beyond.

In 2011, when daughter Kim Kardashian was planning her wedding to Kris Humphries – a union that would go the distance of 72 days – Kris Jenner decided that the traditional “something new” would be her face. She allowed reality show cameras to film her being wheeled into surgery, and into the recovery room straight afterwards. Her head was bandaged and swollen, the surgeon’s pen marks still visible around her eyes and chin as she groggily gazed up at Kim.
“Mom, you look fab,” Kim said. “So gorgeous.” Because no one can be completely truthful all the time.
Kris Jenner has never denied the work she’s had done – from the drastic to injectables – or pretended she looks like her daughters’ little sister because she drinks a lot of water or uses some serum or other. She also clearly does her research because my goodness, that is GOOD WORK. Natural, and as subtle as it can be when we’re talking about a woman of almost 70 who would probably need to show ID if she wanted to buy alcohol.
And as much as it’s brave to refuse all tweakments, it also takes courage to have them if you’re in the public eye. The actress Kristin Davis has spoken about “shedding tears” when she was “ridiculed relentlessly” for the work she had before the Sex And The City reboot, And Just Like That, in 2021.
“You’re trusting doctors but people personally blame us when it goes wrong – as if I jabbed a needle in my face,” she said. “No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time. But luckily I do have good friends who did say eventually.”
Whether they’re actually good friends if they only told her eventually – and after filming a TV show watched around the globe – is a question for another time.
Comedian Dustin Anderson recently went viral for a clip where he advised: “This is just a reminder that when you get old, you can either look old, or you can look weird. You can’t look young. You already did that, that part’s over.”
So long live the Kardashians: forever the exception to every rule.
