Lindsay Lohan looks completely different 16 years after THAT shock Aussie magazine cover following a major transformation that lead to a new taut face
And the Hollywood actress, 39, did little to dispel rumours on Tuesday as she stepped out in Sydney at the Australian premiere of her new movie Freakier Friday.
Lindsay looked worlds away from a shock magazine cover that ran in Australia 16 years ago.
In 2009, Famous magazine featured a photo of the star posing on the red carpet where she appeared worse for wear with larger lips and natural wrinkles.
Lindsay has totally transformed her look since then, displaying a wrinkle-free complexion and plump cheeks as she walked the red carpet with her co-star Jamie Lee Curtis this week.
Her visage is taut, while her jawline appears noticeably more pronounced than it did during her former years in the spotlight.
The Parent Trap star's early years in the industry were marked by reports of multiple run-ins with the law and scandal.
In what is being dubbed the 'Lohanaissance' - or Lindsay's second act in Hollywood - the former child star has now transformed into a happy, healthy, and sober mother, with a focus on family and wellness.
She previously confirmed that she has received Botox, skin lasers and Morpheus8, a non-surgical procedure that pierces the skin with tiny needles to 'rejuvenate' it, but has denied any other procedures.
Hitting back against speculation to ELLE, she said in May: 'Everyone does Botox.
'I drink this juice every morning. It's like carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple. I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water.
'I'm a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything. My skin care is very specific. I'm trying out some serums not that I'm doing — I'm testing them.
'Also, I'm a big believer in ice-cold water on your face when you wake up. I drink lemon juice a lot; I also put tons of chia seeds in my water. Eye patches, I do every morning. I'm into lasers.
'I did Morpheus8 (a non-invasive radiofrequency micro-needling treatment) once, and then I realized my skin is so thin that I can't be doing that.'
Lindsay added: 'My skin changed after having my son. It got really sensitive. That's what really made me change my whole routine and diet and everything.
'I did blood tests, and I was like, I want to know everything I'm allergic to. So I cut everything out, and that's kind of when everything started to change for me.'
During the interview, her publicist also reportedly chimed in and said: 'You know what the problem is with you being beautiful women — the second she looks any different, they assume she had her face lifted at 37 or 38, that she ripped apart this or that. It's so mean.'
Plastic surgeons speculated that Lindsay had received a facelift after she appeared at the movie premiere in December because of her youthful appearance.
It has also previously been suggested that she had an upper eyelid lift to reduce the skin above the eyes, a sign of ageing.
And it was claimed that she may have had at least one nose job because her nose has changed shape from earlier in her career.
Revealing estimates for her rumoured surgery at the time, Dr Gary Linkov, a plastic surgeon in New York City, based on having viewed photographs of her, but not treating her, claimed she may have spent $275,000 on surgery. This includes $50,000 for lip fillers over 19 years, $80,000 for a face lift, and $40,000 for veneers.
Lindsay's friends told The Mail last month that her transformation began in 2014 when, after years of reckless behaviour that led to her being jailed five times in the US, she travelled to the UK to star in a West End production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow.

Away from the prying cameras of the paparazzi, Lindsay decided to go off the grid as she reportedly changed her numbers and 'cut herself off from all the bad influences', celebrity photographer Giles Harrison said.
'She dropped off the face of the planet, at least as far as Hollywood was concerned.'
She relocated to Dubai two years later in a bid to disconnect from Tinseltown and rediscover herself away from the cameras that had followed Lindsay around since she was 12.
In 2020, Lindsay found love with Bader Shammas, a wealthy financier who works for Credit Suisse and hails from one of Dubai's ruling families.
By then, a friend of the actress revealed Lindsay had done a lot of therapy and was 'ready to settle down'.
The pair said 'I do' in 2022 and went on to welcome their son Luai, which means 'protector' or 'shield' in Arabic, the following year.
Reflecting on her new life, Lindsay previously said: 'I've never been happier.
'I took time just to be with me. What I love about Dubai is there's serenity there. I can live a normal life.'

Skye Wheatley reveals tensions in her relationship with partner Lachie amid lengthy home renovations
Skye Wheatley has opened up about the escalating tensions in her relationship with her partner Lachlan Waugh, amid extensive renovations on their Gold Coast home. The influencer, 31, discussed the situation on the latest episode of her Nova podcast Skye & Callum, in which she admitted she and Lachlan had been constantly arguing. 'He is so annoying... he harassed, harassed, harassed for the furniture to be delivered,' Skye began. She added it was not a good time for the planned delivery as the property was not set up for it. 'There's no f***ing roof! Like what do you want to do with this furniture? It's just sitting there in boxes. There's dust and s**t everywhere,' she vented. 'I'm not getting that f***ing furniture out of the box.' She then said the process was also hurting their financial well-being. 'We've had to take out a second loan… the first loan was $800K, the second loan was $400K, and we're not even gonna be completely finished,' she said. 'We need to clean! That's a whole other job in itself. The tradies don't get paid to go in and clean up after themselves.' Skye has long been open about the difficulties of her home renovation project, and in July last year, she shocked her fans by getting into a screaming match with her partner Lachlan during a work day. The podcaster shared a shocking video on Instagram showing Lachlan giving Skye a tour of the renovation work at their new home. The footage began with Lachlan showcasing the work, pointing out which rooms would feature skylights to let in the beaming sun. 'I've just ordered the windows and designed the room myself!' a proud Lachlan told Skye, who initially agreed his plans were 'stunning'. However, Skye soon became upset with some of Lachlan's plans and questioned why he'd included skylights in some rooms but not others. 'A skylight is pointless in this room because of the beautiful window. We could have used that skylight in the [walk-in wardrobe],' a frustrated Skye began. 'Oh my God, why wouldn't you think of that? There's skylights where they don't need to be and none where they do need to be!' However, Lachlan was having none of it and became frustrated as he told his partner he chose the ideal locations for the skylights - and insisted none was needed in the wardrobe. 'It's a f***ing room, how many rooms do you go in that are dark? It's fine, what are you actually worried about, that you won't be able to take a photo in there?' a furious Lachlan asked. Skye rose to fame back on Big Brother Australia in 2014 and is now a full-time influencer with 645,000 followers. In 2023, Wheatley put her $75,000 Mercedes on the market to help finance the renovation work on her luxurious Gold Coast mansion. The former Big Brother star-turned-influencer shared a photo of her white Mercedes on Instagram, inviting interested buyers to message her.

Shocking new details emerge about shark attack on Sydney Harbour: 'It was eating me'
Sixteen years after a bull shark tore off his arm and leg in Sydney Harbour, former Navy diver Paul de Gelder is back in shark-infested waters, this time by choice. In a new Discovery series, How To Survive a Shark Attack, de Gelder puts himself in high-risk situations to test survival tactics and educate viewers on how to stay alive during an encounter with one of the ocean's deadliest predators. Viewers will experience real shark attacks up close through a series of never-before-attempted experiments that teach life-saving tactics for surviving an encounter. One experiment shows de Gelder on an upturned kayak with hungry sharks circling underneath. In another exeriment De Gelder straps on fake limbs oozing with blood, then feeds them to real sharks mouths. 'Paul, I just want to go on the record and say that I'm not comfortable with this,' a producer warned off-camera. He insists filming the program wasn't retraumatising and sees himself as a survivor rather than a victim. 'I've lived a pretty tumultuous life, and I don't really look at the bad things that have happened to me as anchor points that I need to latch onto and spiral into depression or have PTSD or anything like that,' he said. Sixteen years ago, on February 11, 2009, de Gelder was taking part in a counter-terrorism military exercise in Sydney Harbour near Woolloomooloo when a nine-foot-long bull shark attacked him without warning. The assault lasted just eight seconds, but it cost him an arm and a leg. 'No one saw the shark coming. It was eating me before everyone knew what was even happening,' he told 'I grabbed it by the nose and I tried to lever it off me, but that did absolutely nothing. 'I tried to punch it off ... but it took me under and started tearing me apart. He pounded the 300kg beast with everything he had as it pulled him under once more, convinced this time it was the end. 'I was drowning in agony, being eaten alive and I realised there was nothing I could do, so I gave up.' Then, in a move he still can't explain, the shark suddenly let go, leaving de Gelder floating in the harbour. Despite the catastrophic injuries, he managed to swim back to the safety boat through a pool of his own blood. Onboard, his colleagues desperately tried to stop the bleeding using T-shirts. 'Then it was thanks to my chief on the wharf, knowing that it wasn't stopping the blood, so he got one of the guys to pinch an artery closed with their fingers,' de Gelder said. 'The surgeon said if he hadn't done that, I would have died within another 30 seconds.' He recalls the surreal moment it all began: 'I was on the surface, on my back, kicking my legs when all of the sudden, I felt this pressure on my leg. I turned around and I came face to face with a massive shark's head. 'And then my survival instincts kicked in and I thought, 'I've got to get out of this somehow.' 'I thought, I've seen Shark Week - I'll jab it in the eyeball. The shark actually had my right hand and I couldn't move it. In his Shark Week special, de Gelder shares his top tips for surviving a shark attack. Some are straightforward, like avoiding murky water or areas with fishing activity, but others might surprise you. One big myth he busts: don't punch a shark in the nose. 'Now, if you're in the jaws of the shark? At that point, you want to do all you can. In that case, I would go for the eyeballs, go for the gills, just fight for your life,' he says. 'But generally speaking, if you see a shark and it does approach you, you do not want to punch it in the nose.' There are two main reasons. First, a shark's head is made of thick cartilage, so punching it can hurt your hand, and bleeding in the water is a bad idea. Second, sharks are faster and more agile underwater than you. That punch could miss or even land your hand in its mouth, making it an easy meal. Now 47, de Gelder says he doesn't view himself as a victim, but a survivor, and he's dedicated his life to protecting sharks in the wild. 'I'm not retraumatised by any of this,' he insists. Shark Week begins Sunday 10 August at 7:30pm on Discovery (Foxtel, Fetch, Binge) and HBO Max. How To Survive a Shark Attack premieres Tuesday 12 August at 7:30pm. How to Survive a Shark Attack premieres Tuesday 12 August at 7.30pm.

High-profile businesswoman Fleur Madden is set to put her Queensland mansion under the hammer. Madden, who was cast in the axed Real Housewives of Brisbane spin-off, has not listed a price guide for the two-storey, six-bedroom property she shares with her husband, mining executive Jimmy Gwisai. According to sales records, the median sale price for large upscale properties in Coorparoo, where the home is situated, is an impressive $2.5million The couple's property, dubbed The Palms, is inspired by the architecture found in Florida around Palm Springs. Highlights include a dazzling façade, stone archways, a pink blush front door and a private dining room that features a built-in 'wine wall' and spectacular chandelier. There's also a curved staircase, terrazzo tiling, oak timber floors, a beautifully appointed 'media room' and a home office that can double as a bedroom. The ground floor offers an open-plan layout combining an oversized kitchen and living space, which opens out to a covered patio and al fresco dining and pool area. Other highlights include soaring three-metre ceilings and a master suite occupying an entire corner of the top floor, which also features a grand ensuite and dressing room. Impressive 'classic' details are featured prominently in the appointments, including French doors and windows. It comes after Madden, who runs the Ginsburg Advisory business brand, was all set to star in reality spin-off, The Real Housewives of Brisbane. Announced in 2023, Foxtel dropped the Brisbane edition in favour of a second Sydney season. Madden was to feature in a cast including couture designer Sonia Stradiotto and jewellery designer Jimena Alejandra. Speaking to Adelaide Now at the time, Alejandra revealed that she was first approached in 2022. Also interviewed for the story was Madden, who said that the network had plans to make the series different and less frivolous than its predecessors. 'They were specifically looking for businesswomen and women that had their own success, they were trying to make it different,' she told the publication in 2023. It was earlier reported that The Real Housewives reality franchise would be moving to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. According to The Courier Mail, suitable candidates living in Queensland's wealthiest postcodes were being sought out. Producers had approached a number of high-profile women, and some reportedly declined the opportunity, opting to keep their lives private.
