Gwyneth Paltrow sparks suspicion among fans after debuting 'altered' new look
It is the question on everyone's lips - has Gwyneth Paltrow done something to hers? The 52-year-old shared a recent video to Instagram showing herself making breakfast for husband Brad Falchuk - but it wasn't the steak and eggs that caught people's attention. In the clip, which the actress said was her take on Korean steak and eggs, Paltrow prepared the meal, heavily pouting as she did so. And fans were quick to comment on the Goop Founder's appearance. 'Is there something with her lips?' asked one, while another chimed in asking: 'What have you done on your lips?' One fan declared: 'Something happened to her top lip.' 'Mmmmm looks so yum. But don't tell me you've done your lips too,' wrote another. 'The lips! Why?' snarked someone else. In 2023, the actress admitted to her Instagram followers during an Instagram Q+A session that she has had Botox - which has been both 'successful and unsuccessful.' The Goop Founder was asked by one of her fans: 'Did you ever try botox?' responding on her Instagram stories. In response to the question, she wrote: 'God yes. Both successfully and unsuccessfully I'm afraid.' The star has been open throughout the years in regards to her skincare as well as her opinion when it comes to aging. While talking to Refinery29 in 2020, the Iron Man actress revealed, 'In the past, I've never said that I won't do plastic or cosmetic surgery, because I think it's important to stay honest to the fact that we all change as we age.' She recalled having a 'mid-life crisis' when she turned 40, getting anti-wrinkle injections 'all over' her face. 'It was awful,' she declared. 'I looked horrible - one eye was actually like higher than the other - and it was definitely a big mistake, though luckily a temporary one.' Earlier in the week, the Shakespeare in Love actress shared a video showing her making a salad, with disgusted followers pointing out she had her hair out, risking it falling into the food In May, the 52-year-old also revealed the great lengths she goes to to stop her hair from falling out. The actress revealed she has tried a handful of treatments over the years, including injecting her scalp. She said: 'So many women I know are quietly dealing with hair loss. I've tried a handful of treatments over the years, nothing seemed to move the needle – not even injecting my scalp with actual needles.' The latest treatment she has tried involved a plastic surgeon and a device that uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to stimulate hair growth. Discussing how the treatment has worked for her, she said: 'It was completely painless. Honestly, I think my hair's already feeling a bit fuller.' Paltrow's cooking videos - which she has dubbed 'boyfriend breakfast' - have seen the actress come under fire recently, with viewers noticing untidy kitchen habits. Earlier in the week, the Shakespeare in Love actress shared a video showing her making a salad, with disgusted followers pointing out she had her hair out, risking it falling into the food.

Katie Price shows off HUGE new lips and reveals new bum lift – despite admitting she regretted the last one
KATIE Price has shown off her HUGE new lips and bum lift - despite admitting she regretted the last one. Former glamour model Katie, 47, underwent a Brazilian Bum Lift and lip filler top-up during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London 's Harley Street. 5 5 Sharing the latest tweaks with fans on Instagram, Katie revealed: 'So my lips are done. I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks this week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Fresh from a sun-soaked break in Dubai, Katie showed off her plumped lips in a close-up clip and declared: 'See, you can tell I haven't had much today. Gone a bit more classy.' She then winked and added: 'I just need to get my lashes done now…' Later, she shared footage of her newly enhanced bum, complete with plasters poking out from under a pink lace thong. Katie said: 'So I've just done my BBL in under an hour. So quick, the plasters are on and ready to go. Love it! Woooo! BBL in your lunch hour.' Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In a TikTok Live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. "It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest." Katie live-streamed her previous cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table. Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler. Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation. In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost. 'I'm having it done now, filler put in as we speak,' she explained mid-procedure. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup 2018 - Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift 2019 - After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck 2020 - Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers 2021 - In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction 2022 - Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes 'biggest ever' boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total 2023 - Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year 2024 - Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection 'Two surgeons so it's quicker because I'd rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.' Katie continued: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum. 'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years. "Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this - I'm awake, talking to you guys.' As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, 'We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I'm not feeling sore… I'm feeling good.' Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic. Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. While she's no stranger to tweakments, Katie's now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps - saying she's learned the hard way. Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her. She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she's had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a "before" state. 5 5

I tested £29 viral lip balm which rivals injectable filler – could it give me Love Island pout in just THREE minutes?
LIKE many women, I've had all sorts of body hang ups – the wobbly tummy, untoned thighs and bingo wings. My lips, though, were never one of them. Even when wearing a basic lipstick, they always looked full and plump. Fast forward (a few) years though, and sadly I'm facing thin, flat lips like many women my age. Now 44, this loss of volume has given my whole mouth area a more wrinkled appearance and the shape of my lips has flattened. Aesthetic doctor Dr Rita Rakus – dubbed 'the lip queen' – tells me: 'Young lips contain lots of collagen, which makes them plump and smooth. 'As we age, we lose the collagen in our lips and this is when we begin to see loss of volume and crepey skin. So our lips appear thinner than they may have looked when we were younger.' Pumped-up lips are all the rage. On a recent episode of Love Island, nearly all the female contestants admitted they'd had their lips done. Jessica Myott, 24, said she'd been having filler in hers since she was just 18. It's also one of the most Googled treatments online, with over 40,000 internet searches per day. But I'm old enough to remember Men Behaving Badly actress Leslie Ash 's lip filler disaster. The star, now 65, hit headlines in 2002 with her over-inflated trout pout – and I've heard all sorts of horror stories ever since. Many were detailed in The Sun's ' Had Our Fill ' campaign, while several friends have quickly had them dissolved as they didn't like the look. All this has definitely put me off ever having lip fillers myself. The Inkey List has launched new tinted lip balms, and they have saved my dry lips this summer I have tried a few products in the past, including Plump It!, a no-needle formula from Superdrug, costing £39.99. It's not cheap and it made my lips tingle like hell. One online reviewer said: 'I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy'. While the burning sensation is pretty painful, it worked and the effect was immediate – but it wore off pretty quickly, so I wasn't sure the pain was worth the gain. So imagine my joy when I heard about a new product – no pain, no needles – that promises fuller, plumper lips. RoC's Derm Correxion Lip Volumizer balm costs £29.99 and promises results in just THREE minutes. Many users claim the results are so impressive that it rivals the effects of injectable filler. Created in collaboration with aesthetic doctors, its power supposedly lies in a concentrated formula packed with 25 per cent active 'filler' ingredients, including 10 per cent hyaluronic acid, which intensely hydrates lips for up to 48 hours, leaving lips soft and supple. It also contains 15 per cent of a pro-collagen peptide complex that smooths the surface and redefines lip contours – making skin look youthful and fresh. The cutting-edge formula certainly seems to tick a lot of boxes, without the risk or discomfort of needles. RoC – a French beauty brand founded in 1957 – say clinical trials revealed a two-fold increase in size after just four weeks of use and the countless TikTok videos and user testimonials flooding social media seem to back up their bold claims. Excited to give it a go, I followed the instructions and apply a thin layer of the clear, gel-like substance over my lips, staying inside their natural contours. The consistency is thick, but not sticky, and it is easy to apply with the smooth metal applicator. And although I did notice a slight tingle, it wasn't painful – maybe a one out of ten on the pain scale. Subtle look Almost immediately, my lips looked fuller and plumper. My cupid's bow was more defined and the product seemed to bring back some colour to my lips, enhancing my lip line area. That said, the effects didn't last long, wearing off after one to two hours – so you may need to reapply it during a night out. Within a few days of applying the balm two to three times a day, my lips looked healthier and more moisturised. They began to look fuller for longer and the colour improved, too. It wasn't quite the Love Island filler effect, but at 44, that's not something I wanted. I preferred a more subtle, enhanced look. People began asking me not whether I'd had filler, but what lipstick I was wearing – even though I wasn't wearing any. Suddenly I felt like my lips were a part of my face again and my confidence has been boosted. For less than £30 a pop, I'll definitely be buying another tube. ENHANCE YOUR POUT WITH THESE TOP TIPS Celebrity make-up artist Aimee Adams shares her top tips for creating fuller lips: 1. Apply a lip liner that is a shade or two darker than your natural lip colour and line slightly outside your natural lip line to create the illusion of bigger, plumper lips. This is called 'overlining'. Not only does it add definition to your pout, but it also helps create a lip shape with perfect symmetry. I recommend Sculpted by Aimee Line and Shine Duo (£17, 2. Use lip gloss. While it won't change the actual size of your lips, the added shine and light reflection can give the illusion of a fuller, more voluminous lip. A neutral shade, or a colour slightly paler than your natural lip, is best for enhancing a pout, such as Elf Glow Reviver Lip Oil in Pink Quartz (£8, 3. Apply a darker liner to the cupid's bow and centre of your bottom lip only – don't draw the full outline. It's a minimal effort look that is easy to master and really enhances your cupid's bow, giving the illusion of fuller lips. A good option is the Sosu Cosmetics Precision Lip Liner in Cinnamon (£5.60, 4. Ignoring your cupid's bow, use an ombre or dark brown coloured lip pencil to draw right around your lips in a full circle. This provides a more dramatic look than using liner only in the centre – as mentioned above – and is a common trick used by Love Islanders and other reality stars who want a super-plumped pout. You can use a dark brown liner, such as the Mac Lip Pencil (£16, For fair to light skin tones, I'd recommend Oak or Stripdown, for medium, go for Cork and for deep skin tones Chestnut would be perfect. Fill in with a lip plumper such as Pixi LipLift Max (£12, for a full effect. 5. Highlight above the lip using a highlighter cream or powder, as this really makes the lip 'pop'. Don't use anything too glittery or shimmery. I like Avon Glow On Highlighter in Sheer Glow (£9.50, or Delilah Wake Up Radiant Elixir (£36, Then, apply a small amount of bronzer just underneath the bottom lip. The contouring effect really creates an optical illusion and makes the lips stand out on the face. @aimeeadamsmakeup 9 9
