My sexy makeover is so unbelievable haters think I'm AI — but here's how I really went from drab to fab
A content creator named Dina has been accused of employing AI generation after undergoing a glow-up so drastic that she looked like a completely different person, as seen in a TikTok video with nearly one million views.
The video starts out with a photo of Dina in 2019 sitting on a stoop in glasses, jeans, a baggy turtleneck and a beanie.

It then cuts to a pic of the brunette from this year on similar steps, but this time she looks unrecognizable.

In lieu of her girl-next-door-esque ensemble, she is seen rocking a skimpy plunging black top, a cutoff skirt, and knee-high leather boots while flashing the camera a sultry look like something out of a fashion mag.
If that wasn't extreme enough, the bombshell's hair and eyebrows look straighter, her complexion is completely unblemished and her eyes have seemingly changed color from brown to olive.
'POV: You disappear for a few years and then post a story,' she captioned the clip.

Needless to say, viewers found Dina's transformation absolutely jaw-dropping with one awestruck commenter exclaiming: 'Damn, now that's a glow up.'
'I think I just passed out,' gushed another.
However, a few accused the smokeshow of employing some virtual voodoo to achieve the whiplash-inducing new look.

'It's AI guys,' scoffed one naysayer.
However, Dina, who boasts over 170,000 followers on TikTok, assured commenters that she didn't employ the aid of a digital fairy godmother.
'Lemme tell you guys I am not AI generated,' she declared in a followup clip where she looked similarly stunning.
She attributed her incredible metamorphosis to the fact that she's 'very good at doing makeup' and is wearing contact lenses.
Dina also dismissed allegations that the photo itself was AI-generated, demonstrating how she plucked it straight from the camera roll on her Smartphone.
'I am real so you guys can chill out,' she declared.

Nonetheless, perhaps skeptics could be forgiven in this age where AI models are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the real deal.
In fact, hornball viewers have been hornswoggled by Mia Zelu, a synthetic influencer who has become an Instagram sensation by sharing hyperrealistic snaps of herself at various tennis events and elsewhere.

Trump weighs in on American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney ad
President Donald Trump is entering the national debate surrounding American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney ad. In a Newsmax interview Friday, Aug. 1 with host Rob Finnerty, Trump was asked about the "Euphoria" actress starring in the clothing retailer's fall 2025 denim ad campaign that some critics saw as a veiled attempt to endorse eugenics. Eugenics is a highly controversial (and discredited) set of beliefs that the human population can improve or advance itself through selective breeding. "Sydney Sweeney, an actress was in an ad for blue jeans. The ad is doing very well, it's very popular. The jeans have sold out. Does America need to see more ads like that and maybe fewer ads with people like Dylan Mulvaney on the cover?" Finnerty asked, referring to the controversial 2023 Bud Light campaign starring the transgender TikTok star which elicited criticism from certain groups. Trump addresses Diddy pardon decision, but questions remain Trump said that "advertising's a very funny thing," telling Finnerty that "I've done ads where I thought they were lousy, and they turned out to be iconic. And then I've done some that I thought were beauties that were going to be fantastic and they weren't so good, so to each his own." Before addressing his thoughts on advertising, Trump told the conservative cable host earlier in the interview that "I think the Dylan Mulvaney ad was perhaps the most unsuccessful ad in history. It knocked $35 billion off the value of a certain company if you know what I'm talking about." Trump continued: "(The Mulvaney ad) was one of the great disasters of all time. I would say that's probably the most unsuccessful ad, worst ad ever." It is unclear what exact $35 billion valuation the president is talking about, but sales for Bud Light – owned by Anheuser-Busch – tanked after the backlash began. American Eagle breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney jeans ad controversy Why is the 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' ad sparking backlash? The Sweeney ad has been the subject of both online praise and anger for over a week. On July 23, the brand launched the new campaign starring Sweeney, which American Eagle originally described as "a return to essential denim dressing," with Sweeney sporting 1970s-style flare jeans paired with a denim jacket. In one of several videos for the campaign, Sweeney, clad in a denim-on-denim fit, dabbles in some word-play, telling cameras: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color." "My jeans are blue," Sweeney said in the video. Each promotional video ends with the tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." The Trump comments aired the same day that American Eagle broke its silence on the backlash and doubled down in an Instagram post following days of discourse about the Sweeney ad blitz. "'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way," the statement read. "Great jeans look good on everyone." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, Nicole Fallert

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Complete Relationship Timeline
THE RUNDOWN In late July, pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau sparked dating rumors after being seen with one another on several occasions in Montréal. On August 2, a source stated that the 'romance is in very early stages.' Both Perry and Trudeau ended their long term relationships relatively recently. On July 3, Perry and actor Orlando Bloom announced their split after six years of being engaged in a joint statement to People, saying, 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting [their daughter, 4-year-old Daisy]. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' Trudeau and his ex Sophie Grégorie separated in 2023 after 18 years together. In a statement posted on Instagram at the time, Trudeau wrote, 'Hi everyone, Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversation, we have made the decision to separate. As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy. Thank you.' Here's the complete relationship timeline of Perry and Trudeau so far. On July 28, the pair shared a long day of activities together, starting with a walk in Montreal's Mount Royal Park. TMZ obtained photos of Trudeau smiling alongside Perry as they strolled. They were then filmed eating at Le Violon in Montréal. In footage obtained by TMZ, Perry and Trudeau can be seen chatting, with the singer looking attentively at Trudeau. After their meal, they had drinks on the terrace of Taverne Atlantic. Shortly after TMZ published the dinner video, the outlet ran an interview with Le Violon's co-owner and co-executive chef, Danny Smiles, who served them. Smiles said Perry and Trudeau didn't show any PDA, and 'he didn't get any dating vibes from Katy and two friends enjoying a meal.' Perry and Trudeau enjoyed a series of courses from the chef's tasting menu, including lobster, tuna, lamb gnocchi, and beef tartare, according to TMZ. The meal was a few hours long, and Trudeau covered the bill. Smiles called them the 'perfect guests—super chill, extremely nice to the staff.' On July 30, Trudeau was seen at Perry's Lifetimes Tour stop in Montréal. The former Canadian prime minister was spotted by fans in the crowd. His daughter Ella-Grace, was also at the concert, per Daily Mail. Trudeau also sang along to Perry's hit song 'Firework.' A source speaking with People said that the pair definitely have a connection, but it is a logistical challenge to date. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the insider stated. 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.' The source added, 'Music is one of many things they can share. Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.' They both have full lives already, as well as kids they share with former partners. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities,' the source said. 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' A second source told People, 'Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn't put on a public display at this stag. He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.' '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages,' the source added.

Celebrities React To Sydney Sweeney American Eagle Ad
More and more people are speaking out amid the growing discourse surrounding Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad — including celebrities. In case you missed it, American Eagle released new denim ads featuring Sydney last month, using the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans." One of the promotional videos shows the blond-haired, blue-eyed actor playing on the words of the campaign as she tells the camera: "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color." She then said, "My jeans are blue." While AE described the launch as "a return to essential denim dressing," some took issue with the "great jeans" tagline, calling it a coded message promoting eugenics. And amid the controversy, celebs started weighing in. Here's what they said. Courtney Stodden criticized AE for "pushing this hypersexualized 'All-American girl' image to sell JEANS" in a statement on Instagram. She wrote, "First of all—this isn't about Sydney. I don't know her personally and this isn't about tearing another woman down. But I do think it's important we talk about the bigger picture."She continued, "Let's be real: I have blonde hair, blue eyes and curves since I was a kid. I was sexualized by the system // powerful men before I was even old enough to understand what was happening. I've been there— marketed, minimized, misrepresented. So when I see a big-budget ad pushing this hypersexualized 'All-American girl' image to sell JEANS, all I can think is... here we go again.""Another billionaire-backed fantasy being sold to us like it's harmless nostalgia," Courtney added. "But it's rooted in racism. It's also a recycled idea of womanhood created for the silly male gaze and mass consumption.""We deserve better," Courtney said, as she also called out the original ad for its depictions of an "underage" Brooke Shields. "We are better." Lizzo responded to the ad with satire. On Thursday, she took to Instagram to share a fake meme of herself wearing a denim outfit similar to the one Sydney wore in the ad. It had the words "If the Democrats won the election" written over it as Lizzo joked in the caption, "My jeans are black…" JD Vance said the left was blowing it out of proportion. "They're trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids in America," he explained on the Ruthless Podcast. "And they have managed to so unhinge themselves over this thing." He said, "It's like, you guys, did you learn nothing from the November 2024 election? Like I actually thought that one of the lessons they might take is we're going to be less crazy. The lesson they have apparently taken is we're going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. Great strategy, guys." Former race car driver and Trump supporter Danica Patrick didn't seem to see the issue with Sydney's ad. "Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the new AE ads?" she reportedly wrote on Instagram. "Very confused." And Megyn Kelly called the backlash "absurd." "There's nothing wrong with being white," she said. "It's fine, she can be white, too. It's like, now, we're going to see an ad with a Black woman and the reference to genes, too, and that won't satisfy them." In true fashion, Desi Lydic made fun of Sydney's accent — then she got serious and criticized the right-wing backlash, including Megyn Kelly for saying that white, blonde, and blue-eyed women are never "allowed" to be celebrated. "This is such bullshit," Desi expressed. "Blonde women have had constant representation, okay? In entertainment, fashion, in letter-turning. It's not that they want to see more white women. They want to see none of anyone else." She also said, "For a story about boobs, it sure has a lot of assholes." So far, Sydney herself hasn't directly responded to the backlash, but AE stood by the campaign in a statement shared to its social media accounts yesterday. You can read it here.
