Who Looks Better: Celebrities of the Same Age With and Without Plastic Surgery (15 photos)

While many celebrities continue to turn to injectables, lasers, and surgeries to maintain their youthful appearance, others choose to age naturally, embracing the changes that come with age. They stand against the unrealistic beauty standards imposed by the industry. In this list, we look at famous people who were born in the same year but chose different paths to aging.

1. Courteney Cox and Michelle Fairley (1964)





Courteney Cox has often been accused of getting cosmetic work done, especially in 2013, when her face became noticeably rounder.

"She was overloaded with injectables like Botox and Restylane," said New York plastic surgeon Robert Vitolo. "That's why it's important to go to a professional. Her cheeks and lips looked over-pumped."

Michelle Fairley, who became famous for her role as Catelyn Stark in Game of Thrones, kept her natural appearance. This allowed her to fit organically into the medieval atmosphere of the series.

2. Priscilla Presley and Helen Mirren (1945)



Elvis Presley's ex-wife was famous for her beauty. However, an unsuccessful silicone injection performed by a self-taught doctor left scars on her face and changed the shape of her cheeks. Over the years, she has had a facelift, rhinoplasty, and Botox.

Helen Mirren, on the other hand, has chosen to age naturally, allowing time to leave wrinkles on her face. Despite her reluctance to go under the knife, she does not judge those who do: “People should be given the freedom to choose so that they can feel happy.”

3. Tara Reid and Kate Winslet (1975)





Tara Reid has undergone numerous plastic surgeries: breast augmentation, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She speaks openly about her experiences, including her failed implant that left her with “uneven breasts.” According to the actress, most of the procedures were dictated by her career and the desire to preserve her youth.

Kate Winslet clearly disagrees with her colleague, saying that such interventions do not correspond to her ideas about the acting profession.

“It goes against my morals, my parents’ upbringing, and what I believe is true beauty. I will never give in,” she told The Telegraph in 2011. “I’m an actress, and I don’t want my face to freeze.”

4. Madonna and Sharon Stone (1958)



The legendary pop singer has admitted more than once that she works hard on her appearance. For example, in 2012, she said that she regularly gets fillers in her face. In 2023, after a scandalous performance at the Grammys, Madonna admitted that she looks different due to swelling after surgery.

Sharon Stone has resorted to the help of surgeons, but mainly to correct the consequences of medical procedures. The actress decided to have breast reconstruction surgery. However, the procedure turned into breast augmentation without her consent. In an interview with InStyle magazine, Stone shared that the doctor made the decision on his own, claiming that it would make her bust look better.

The actress does not hide the fact that she used to do Botox. But after a brain hemorrhage in 2001, she decided to give up the procedures and embrace the natural aging process.

5. Bella Hadid and Florence Pugh (1996)



Bella Hadid, a famous supermodel, has long been suspected of having plastic surgery. She recently admitted that she had rhinoplasty at the age of 14, which she regrets.

"I wish I had kept my ancestors' nose," she said.

Experts suggest she may have had other procedures, such as lip augmentation and Bish's lumps removal. Hadid says it's all down to makeup.

Florence Pugh has always been a natural beauty icon. She is known for her critical attitude toward beauty and body standards, often speaking out against Hollywood's unrealistic expectations. Pugh often posts makeup-free photos on social media, emphasizing her position.

6. Kim Kardashian and Natalie Portman (1980/1981)



Kim Kardashian and her family have become icons in the field of plastic surgery. Their transformations are constantly discussed on the Internet.

These changes have had such an impact that the expression "Kardashian face" has now become a household word, describing a certain type of appearance.

Natalie Portman is a symbol of natural beauty in Hollywood. The Oscar winner has never had plastic surgery and has openly spoken about her rejection of unrealistic beauty standards.

7. Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts (1967)



Nicole Kidman is often talked about in the context of plastic surgery. According to rumors, Botox and dermal fillers helped her maintain a refined appearance. Perhaps, rhinoplasty was not without. The actress denies rumors, admitting only to Botox.

Julia Roberts has always preferred natural beauty. She has not had plastic surgery and often talks about the beauty of aging. The beauty claims that her sincere smile and unique facial features are her main assets.

8. Jessica Lange and Meryl Streep (1949)



Jessica Lange has always denied plastic surgery. However, some doctors believe that she has had a facelift, eyebrow lift, and eyelid lift.

Meryl Streep has not only refused plastic surgery and injections, but has also categorically rejected the idea itself, explaining that it creates a "veil" that prevents people from communicating.

In a 2009 interview with Vanity Fair, she said, “When I see it in people’s faces, I feel like I’m losing touch with them.” She was talking about Botox and its paralyzing effect.

9. Donatella Versace and Judy Davis (1955)



Perhaps one of the most obvious comparisons on this list is Donatella Versace and Judy Davis.

Over the decades, the designer has changed a lot. Plastic surgeons had to work hard. From eyelid, neck, and brow lifts to fillers, almost all of the Italian’s facial features have been “retouched.”

Unlike her, Judy Davis has embraced the aging process and doesn't resort to procedures.

10. Renee Zellweger and Christy Turlington (1969)



Renee Zellweger has often been the subject of conversation, especially after appearing at the 2014 Elle Hollywood Awards. At the time, neither her colleagues nor photographers recognized her. Surgeons like Dr. Brian Glatt of New Jersey have suggested that the actress's changes in appearance could be due to chin implants and weight loss.

"The lengthening of the face made other features more expressive," he noted.

Christy Turlington remains a strong advocate of natural aging. The model has said that she will “never change my face.” For her, it’s a matter of personal values.

11. Simon Cowell and Hugh Laurie (1959)



Simon Cowell has been vocal about his use of Botox and fillers. The America’s Got Talent judge later admitted that he overdid it and had them removed when they began to distort his appearance.

Cowell has had a facelift and is rumored to have used the latest chin-shaping procedure, a thread lift.

Hugh Laurie, on the other hand, has given time the opportunity to change his features naturally. Possessing natural charm, he has never resorted to cosmetic procedures and remains true to himself.

12. Sandra Bullock and Monica Bellucci (1964)



Sandra Bullock's youthful appearance suggests that she resorts to cosmetic tricks. Perhaps the actress had a facelift and does not refuse injections.

Bullock assures that she does only "non-invasive" procedures to improve her appearance. This may mean using Botox.

Monica Bellucci continues to radiate natural elegance. She does not resort to plastic surgery, and this decision is approved by fans.

13. Daryl Hannah and Julianne Moore (1960)



There have long been rumors about Daryl Hannah, who became famous for her role in the cult film "Blade Runner". They say that she had a facelift and blepharoplasty to maintain her attractiveness. Hannah also regularly gets Botox and filler injections.

Julianne Moore is not afraid of aging and embraces her natural appearance. The actress once said, "Every wrinkle is a story."

Moore has spoken out against the use of Botox, saying it doesn't help people look better.

14. Cher and Charlotte Rampling (1946)



Cher, a pop and style icon, has always been open to experimentation. Her remarkable transformation over the years has been attributed to a variety of cosmetic procedures, from facelifts to breast augmentations. She has said she would be “first in line to see a doctor” whenever she felt she needed something done.

Charlotte Rampling has chosen a different path. Her consistent, sophisticated look and commitment to graceful aging reflect her belief that true attractiveness lies in naturalness, not artificial standards.

15. Cindy Crawford and Salma Hayek (1966)



Cindy Crawford, the iconic supermodel, admitted that she regularly gets Botox injections to maintain her beauty.

She believes that diet and exercise have limited effect, so she chose non-invasive methods to prevent deep wrinkles. She regularly undergoes procedures that stimulate collagen production, such as radiofrequency and ultrasound lifting.

Salma Hayek denies that she has resorted to plastic surgery and the help of cosmetologists. She is known for her natural beauty and is not afraid of aging.
