The £100,000 facelift that's knocked years off Kris Jenner at 69
Everybody loves a transformation story. Had Grease been written in 2025, however, Olivia Newton John would have had to do a lot more than shuck on a biker jacket and a pair of Spandex trousers to make an impact. In a world where billions are vying for attention by ever more desperate means, transformations are two a penny. These days, no diet, makeover or wardrobe glow-up in the world can compete with the impact of a really good facelift. We all know Ozempic can make us thin, and that a stylist can help us dress better. But turning back the years to look 10 years younger? That's still a mystery; a cloak-and-dagger affair whose dark magic occurs behind closed doors, by unknown hands, at unknown cost, with unknown pain and recovery time. Which is likely why so many women can talk of little else these days than Kris Jenner. From the cruise shows of Avignon and Rome to the restaurants of Mayfair to the beach bars of Ibiza, the chat is the same: how, exactly, did the 69-year-old matriarch of the Kardashian clan get her dewy, youthful, plump-yet-taut new visage? And where can we get one? While most women might buy some new clothes to wear to a hen weekend, Kris Jenner went out and bought a new face. When the hen weekend is thrown by Jeff Bezos' soon-to-be-bride Lauren Sanchez, and takes place in Paris, perhaps a Me+Em dress doesn't cut it. No matter that Sanchez, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria and Kim Kardashian were dressed up in their finest garb: they may as well have worn Shein. All eyes were fixated upon Jenner. 'She looks just like Kim!' the internet exclaimed. Which she did – despite being a quarter of a century older. On Tiktok, the hashtag #krisjennernewface has been trending ever since Jenner unveiled her new look, with 57.5 million posts and counting. How-to videos abound, with everyone from surgeons to influencers to your auntie Karen chipping in with their opinions. 'She looks like she's fresh out of the womb,' says the influencer GK Barry, in a post that's had 468.9K views. 'What kind of freaky sorcery is this?' says another user. 'Who is this surgeon, because they are an artist.' The 'artist' in question is Dr Steven Levine, the New York-based surgeon beloved by A-listers for his natural-looking facial enhancements. In a statement shared by Page Six, Levine's representatives confirmed him as the surgeon behind Jenner's most recent work, though they didn't give further details about the procedures. Which hasn't stopped people from speculating. While most celebrities are understandably tight-lipped about the work they've had done, Jenner has previously been open about going under the knife, with one of her procedures even being documented on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. It's believed that this is Jenner's fifth surgery: as for what she's had done, that depends on who you ask. 'To achieve this sort of transformation in someone who is in their late 60s would likely require a deep plane face and neck lift, blepharoplasty and fat grafting to address lower face jowling and laxity in the neck area,' claims Dr Jonny Betteridge, founder of JB Aesthetics in Mayfair, London. 'This is likely revision surgery, as she would have had surgery in previous years.' According to leading plastic surgeon Patrick Mallucci, Jenner's rejuvenated face has made an impact on account of being unusually well-balanced. 'Looking at her before and after pictures, it appears she's had a brow lift, possibly her upper eyelids operated on, and a very well-done facelift, possibly a deep plane, though it's very difficult to tell the technique by looking at a picture,' he surmises. 'When you look at the thirds of her face – the upper, middle and lower – she's got a very nice, balanced jawline. Unlike some of the facelifts of 20 years ago, where people looked very obviously overpulled and overtightened, this really brings out her good features.' Mallucci's clinic in South Kensington, London, has seen a 30 per cent increase in facelift enquiries over the last five years, as the stigma of 'going under the knife' wanes, and procedures improve in terms of results and recovery time. 'While non-surgical treatments can complement face lifting and stave off the knife until later, ultimately there comes a time when only a facelift can truly rejuvenate an ageing face requiring anatomical improvement,' he says. The 'Rolls Royce' of these is the deep plane. Where a traditional facelift tightens the skin, a deep plane lifts and repositions deeper layers of facial tissue, including sagging muscles and fat, allowing for more natural-looking results which are also longer-lasting. A traditional facelift typically lasts five to seven years: a deep plane can last for up to fifteen. Their subtle results have made 'guess the deep plane' the internet's favourite parlour game, with Nicole Kidman, Anne Hathaway and Lindsey Lohan all recently being cited as allegedly having had the procedure, though this is pure speculation. For her part, Lohan says her appearance is thanks to a healthy diet and laser treatments. Celebrities who have admitted to having deep plane facelifts include the socialite Caroline Stanbury (who had hers aged 49) and the designer Marc Jacobs (who had his at 58). 'There is no such thing as an ideal age for a deep plane facelift, but over the age of 40-45 would generally make a great candidate,' notes the consultant plastic surgeon Mark Solomos. 'You can actually do a deep plane endoscopic facelift at the age of 35 without any obvious scars in front of the ear.' Nor does any previous work tend to be a barrier. 'The only things that would matter would be treatments such as Sculptra. Hyaluronic fillers don't matter too much unless you've overdone it, likewise excessive radio frequency, which tends to burn the fat and creates problems in the subcutaneous tissue.' As for whether 'the Kris effect' means surgeons should now be braced for a wave of clients wanting to look not 10 but 30 years younger than their age, Dr Mallucci believes that managing expectations is key. 'It's very important that I understand what it is that my patients are looking for, but it's equally important that I communicate to them what's realistically achievable. Promising results which are not surgically achievable serves no purpose and only causes disappointment.' And also a depleted bank balance. While a deep plane facelift typically costs between £25,000 – £60,000, it's estimated that the bill for Kris Jenner's work cost in the region of £100,000. Small change for the world's most successful 'momager', but a prohibitively eye-watering amount for most. When your life is lived through a long lens, in the pressure cooker that is Hollywood, it takes more than 'lots of water' to look your best. For better or for worse, the six figure facelift era starts here.

Kris Jenner, 69, looks half her age as she shows off new face after selling wardrobe to fit her slimmer figure
Kris Jenner looked exceptionally youthful as she stepped out for a shopping spree on Friday — just days after debuting a striking new facelift that left fans doing double takes. The Kardashian matriarch, 69, turned heads last week when she was mistaken for daughter Kim Kardashian after unveiling her refreshed face while in Paris for Kim's armed robbery trial. Her rep later confirmed she enlisted the skills of celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Steven M. Levine — dubbed the 'facelift maestro' — to achieve her new look. On Friday, Kris flaunted her age-defying appearance on the outskirts of Los Angeles, beaming during a bout of retail therapy. Dressed in her signature style — a sleek dark pinstriped suit — she looked elegant, polished, and decades younger. The outing comes after exclusively revealed the momager was clearing out her size 10 designer wardrobe after slimming down to a size 6. A source told 'Kris is no longer a size 10 so she has no need for those clothes, she is a size 6 these days and thrilled about it. It's the same size that she was in the 1980s. 'Her closet is completely different now — the items are so much smaller — and it makes her very happy to get back to the body that she had in her younger years.' While Jenner hasn't publicly shared how she lost the weight, fans speculate it may be due to taking Ozempic. The momager has always credited her lean figure to healthy eating, careful calorie tracking, and daily workouts at the gym. Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts. Last Saturday they did a double take after hairstylist Chris Stapleton shared a series of photos of the reality star on social media. The Kardashians star, who was in Paris to support daughter Kim Kardashian as she testified about being the victim of a brutal armed robbery, looked remarkably like her second-oldest daughter in the new pics. The reality TV star has listed a number of bigger pieces - some are size large and a few XL - on her Kardashian Kloset website Jenner's fans have been remarking on her glowing and youthful appearance in recent sightings and social media posts 'Just a Kris Jenner appreciation post,' Stapleton wrote on Instagram on Friday. 'I thought that was Kim posing as Kris at first… for the first photo,' claimed one amazed fan. 'Thought that was Kim! She looks INCREDIBLE' exclaimed another. Fans have also been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner. 'Who's your doctor???? AMAZING,' another added. 'The doctor deserves an award! Wow!' Fans have been begging Kris to name her doctor. 'Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years,' one wrote on a recent Instagram snap of Jenner 'The fountain of youth. I want some of the water she's drinking.' Many also compared Kris' youthful appearance to Lindsay Lohan's recent transformation. 'What in the Lindsay Lohan is going on here,' one wrote. 'She got the Lindsay Lohan,' another added. Lohan, 38, has never admitting to having surgery, but has credited her gorgeous skin to her dermatologist in Dubai. Though Kris has not specified what work she's had done with Dr. Levine, it wouldn't mark her first time going under the knife. In 2011, a terrified Kris was filmed being wheeled in for a facelift on her reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Jenner was 55-years-old at the time, and going under the knife a month prior her daughter Kim's wedding to NBA star Kris Humprhies. Video footage of Kris before and after surgery was published on the E! website. It shows Kris in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children. 'I don't want to die,' the nervous star said. After she recovered from the operation, Kim assured her the results were already positive. 'Mom, you look fab,' she said. 'So gorgeous.' Jenner also previously admitted she had a breast augmentation in the '80s after having four kids, but later revised the procedure for 'smaller' implants and a 'lift.' Her earlobe surgery was also featured on Keeping Up with the Kardashians back in 2018. The star has also had 'Botox and fillers and lasers and things like that.' Many fans previously called out the star for filtering her social media photos and creating 'unreal beauty expectations.'

Kris Jenner, 69, accused of photoshop fail by fans – despite incredible new facelift
KRIS Jenner has been accused of photoshopping her latest pics after her secret facelift. Kris ' rep confirmed she had "work" done but stopped short of sharing the exact procedure. 7 7 7 "We can confirm that Dr. Steven Levine did Kris Jenner's recent work," they told Page Six last week after she appeared in Paris last week. The 69-year-old showed off her amazing new look when she supported her daughter Kim Kardashian, 44, in the French capital during her court appearance following a traumatic burglary back in 2016. She continued to wow the public as the Kardashians stars attended Lauren Sanchez's bachelorette party in the city. After landing back in the US, momager Kris then supported her youngest Kylie Jenner at the launch of Khy X Dilara, Kylie's new collaboration. She posed with daughter Khloe in snaps on Instagram, wearing a black denim zipper jacket and high rise denim pants from the collection. Notably, however, Kris' face was devoid of all blemishes with no wrinkles or marks in sight. But while sharing a side profile snap, Kris, who's boyfriend Corey Gamble is 25 years younger than her, appeared to reveal a tiny photoshop fail. After spotting jagged silhouette lines under her chin, one fan said: "Kris you better werrrrrrrrk with your new neck/jaw!" Others said she was morphing into Kim, writing: "Looks like kim omg". Fans have been left open-mouthed by her age-defying look, with many praising her for "turning back time". On Instagram, the mum-of-six has been bombarded with comments from fans discussing her youthful appearance, as one wrote: "This is insane babe it's ok to age." A second chimed in: "Gorgeous! You look so young and amazing! You're turning back time…", while another penned: "Curious case of Benjamin Button." Kris has previously admitted to having Botox, fillers, a boob job, and a facelift, which she had back in 2011 before Kim's wedding to Kanye West, 47. Back in 2019, Kris told People: "It's a one-stop show for me. And who doesn't love Botox? For me, it's been really great. "My routine is pretty simple, but it always has been my entire life. A massage, a great facial, a manicure and a little Botox and I'm good to go. "I'm pretty traditional. As long as I'm clean and scrubbed up, I'm a happy camper." Last year, Kris was praised for showing off her real face in photos with Corey. Kris' side profile showed her natural wrinkles, with deep lines around her mouth and a softer jawline than she usually shows on social media. Fans were shocked to see Kris' unedited face in the new photos, seeing as the star usually heavily filters her appearance. On Reddit, one shocked Kardashian-Jenner wrote: "I wish she didn't edit all her social pics and be proud to show off her wrinkles and what she likes to call jowls lol." However, she rarely allows an unedited photo slip through the net on Instagram. 7 7

Land Rover Defender updated - here's what's different
Land Rover's Defender has been on sale in Britain for five years, so a significant mid-life facelift is overdue. This is especially the case with the luxury 4X4 becoming JLR's (formerly Jaguar Land Rover) best-selling product of all. Last year, it delivered 115,400 Defenders globally, dwarfing the sales figures for the Range Rover (77,000) and Range Rover Sport (79,800). With it selling Defenders as quickly as it can make them, JLR appears to have taken a 'less is more' approach to its '26MY' (model year) tweaks, which is far from the wholesale update most cars receive midway through their lifecycle. In fact, it's difficult to see what's changed at all... Here's what's different and how it will impact prices. It's fair to say that Land Rover has taken a subtle approach to upgrading its volume-selling product. Defender has been treated to a series of very minor styling tweaks and cabin updates. From the outside, there's no change to the familiar boxy silhouette that has proven a big hit with customers who've been snapping them up in record numbers since 2020. A new headlight design, fog lights as standard and smoke-tinted rear light clusters - combined with a gloss black grille bar - are the only minimal changes to the exterior. Instead, it's inside where arguably the biggest upgrade comes. The cabin is now dominated by a larger 13.1-inch touchscreen - an increase in display size over the outgoing 11.4-inch unit. Sitting above the gear selector and temperature control panel in the centre console, it uses the PiviPro system and should make the screen easier to tinker with on the move. There are other necessary update to the cabin, including the addition of an infrared camera behind the steering column, which powers the driver attention monitoring system. This triggers audio and visual alerts to the person behind the wheel when the camera detects their eyes are away from the road for dangerous periods of time as a part of a mandated safety requirement for new models under the European Union's latest GSR2 legislation. While the EU rules do not currently apply for UK-sold models, minsters recently suggested they will be adopted in Britain soon. A host of new paint options have also been launched and Defender - for the first time - will also benefit from adaptive off-road cruise control, though as an optional extra that customers will need to spec. There is a price increase for 2025 While Land Rover hasn't revealed information about powertrain options, it is likely to retain the combination of diesel, plug-in hybrid and supercharged V8 petrol engines. Customers will continue to be able to get their hands on the shorter Defender90 three-door, the five-door 110 and seven or eight-seat Defender 130. Prices for the updated Defender start from £57,135 thanks to the arrival of a new entry Defender90 S. However, pricing has increased over 25MY vehicle, with a like-for-like X-Dynamic SE rising by almost £2,000 from £59,790 to £61,740. Defender will continue to be produced exclusively at its Nitra plant in Slovakia, meaning it won't benefit from the trade agreement between the US and UK over reduced tariffs on imported vehicles. This is Money has asked JLR if it intends to increase the cost of Defender for the US market in preparation for the 27.5 per cent levies on EU-made vehicles scheduled for introduction on 9 July, but it refrained from commenting on the tariff impact on pricing. Shortly after the tariffs - which then included the UK - were originally announced on President Donald Trump's self-proclaimed Liberation Day back in April, JLR chose to pause shipments of cars to America.
