The 33-year-old reserve driver for Red Bull rubbed shoulders with celebrities on fashion's most famous red carpet, which was celebrating iconic designer Karl Lagerfeld. Ricciardo sent social media wild with his unexpected appearance at the glamourous event, arriving alone in a stylish Thom Browne three-piece tuxedo and flashing his signature grin. Iconic fashion magazine Vogue put together a video of the eight-time race winner suiting up, where he revealed he was surprisingly nervous about attending. 'You know that expression, "It ain't my first rodeo?" Ricciardo asks in the clip. Vogue magazine put together a video of the eight-time race winner getting ready for the iconic event, where he revealed he was surprisingly nervous about attending 'It actually is my first rodeo.' 'It's funny, because I feel I should get more nervous before a race,' he said. '[But] this certainly feels like I'm stepping out of my comfort zone.' Thom Browne’s Jonathon Zadrzynski was on hand to help Ricciardo get dressed, and told the Aussie that Browne himself was looking forward to him stepping out in his look. 'He (Thom Browne) is really excited about the classic but comfortable look you bring to your style,' Zadrzynski told Ricciardo. Ricciardo explains in the clip that it was important for the suit to have a pocket for him to carry a hip flask. 'When we were going through the jacket, I was like "does it have a place for my hip flask?'" he smiled. The Aussie was then off to the event, navigating fans and photographers skillfully. Afterwards while on the red carpet eagle-eyed fans spotted Ricciardo taking a quick glance at Hollywood A-lister Anne Hathaway as he awaited his picture.

Balenciaga’s absurd couture show celebrates rebirth and authenticity

Creative director Demna Gvasalia asked whether the future of fashion lies in its history. Balenciaga celebrated the art of repurposing, reworking, and regeneration for the label's autumn/winter 2024 haute couture show. Trends including deconstructed denim, excessive leather, and ruched outerwear dominated the catwalk. Frequently sported by Kim Kardashian and Cardi B, Nicole Kidman attended this Balenciaga collection in a simple diamante skin-tight dress, Joey King in a bleach-blonde wig, and Katy Perry in a topless dress. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Derek Blasberg (@derekblasberg) The runway exuded a laid-back vibe, returning to its original location at 10-12 Avenue George V. This was where Cristóbal Balenciaga founded his Paris atelier in 1937. The latest Balenciaga outing featured oversized velvet, leather, denim, and mesh silhouettes, showcasing metropolitan modernity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balenciaga (@balenciaga) The latest Balenciaga show featured wide-brimmed headpieces, butterfly-feathered masks, and bare faces, all symbolizing regenesis. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balenciaga (@balenciaga) The show had a philosophical angle. It made the wearer question how the clothes made them feel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balenciaga (@balenciaga) Moreover, this trend was seen again on the runway, with fabrics repurposed from shirts to scarves, belts to gowns, and even objects transformed into headpieces. Denim, leather, and nylon made their way onto pieces in patchwork and deconstructed forms, leaning into regeneration and vintage dressing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balenciaga (@balenciaga) Ruching and wraps were pivotal in day and evening wear, transforming simple cotton offcuts into formal statements. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Balenciaga (@balenciaga) The show ended with various Balenciaga signature silhouettes: simple black gowns were eye-catching with faux fur and avant-garde cuts. The pièce de résistance was an excessively ruffled dress that formed an extravagant ruched sphere, virtually swallowing the model whole.

2023 Met Gala Critique

It’s often said that the Met Gala is fashion’s biggest night and I couldn’t agree more. This year was a tribute to the controversial designer Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty. Lagerfeld passed away in 2019 and held the helm of the Houses of Chanel, Chloé, Balmain, and Fendi as well as his eponymous brand. Love him or hate him, no single man of our generation has had more influence on fashion. The night was to honour his legacy - and while some attendees nailed it, others missed the mark. And when the stakes are as high as the Met Gala, simply wearing a vintage dress does not cut it.

THE BEST

Emily Ratajkowski stunned in this geometric Tory Burch gown. The pattern of this dress is meant to mimic the stitching on a classic Chanel bag. The plunging blush tulle dress was a refreshing change from the sea of black and white dresses. The hair and makeup gave me Audrey Hepburn vibes. One of the top picks of the night.

Janelle Monae was born for this event - Lagerfeld, like Monae, wore signature black and white. This year Janelle gave us a Lady Gaga-esque performance as her stylists unwrapped her on the carpet. From her Thom Brown oversized hommage to a Chanel coat to her futuristic embellished crinoline petticoat, Janelle was ready for the cameras. Overrall, this look stood out from the rest but I have 2 minor criticisms: the boots are a miss and the jacket should have been pinned to the petticoat so it had lined up (the first picture shows it was uneven). But beyond that, I love the Thom Brown ties in the hair, her hair and makeup are stunning, and she has yet again proven to be a fashion dream.

Doja Cat was the cat’s pajamas in Oscar de la Renta. Lagerfeld had one love in his later life - his cat Choupette. And who better to pay tribute to a cat than…Doja Cat! The gown fits her perfectly and took over 5000 hours to create. The dress is embellished with 350,000 glass beads and weighs over 30 pounds. To complete the look, her makeup artist used prosthetics to give her a feline look. Meow!

Bad Bunny was perfectly on theme in Jacquemus. His all white tweed tuxedo featured a very daring backless jacket/shirt. To complete the look, he added a 26 foot long white floral scarf to pay homage to the signature Chanel camellia flower. Bad Bunny embraces fashion and I was thrilled to see a newcomer to the carpet take such a risk, and it paid off. This is what I would have worn if I was in attendance. (Sorry I couldn’t find a shot of the back)

Jared Leto as Choupette made me smile. I didn’t love his embellished black caped Gucci outfit that was underneath. But watching him walk the steps in this incredible furry costume made my night. The guy has guts to walk up the 24 steps in that outfit. Well done - I’m sure you would have given Karl a giggle. Next time stay in the costume for the rest of the night please.

Naomi Campbell looked radiant in a 2010 Chanel couture gown. The details on this dress are so tasteful and elegant - just like Naomi’s hair and makeup. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her look better. And with the carpet underneath her, the dress pops even more. Perfection.

Nicole Kidman didn’t wow me in this dress BUT….when I heard the story, I got it. Nicole has been the face of Chanel for years - but this is the dress she wore in the Chanel No. 5 commercial n 2004. The light pink silk gown is completed with over 250 ostrich feathers and over 3000 sequins. However, I just need her to run her hand through her hair please…I get the casual hair, but this is bordering on messy.

Cardi B looked like a Chanel Barbie in this look that would have made even Karl smile. This creation was created by Chenpeng Studios and there are just so many things to love. The nod to Karl’s love of tailoring, the quilting on the skirt reminiscent of the quilted Chanel bag, and the black leather Camellia flowers. This is a very put-together and intelligent look for the evening. Someone did their homework and ended up Best in Class!

Cara Delevingne was one of Lagerfeld’s muses and closest friends. So it’s not surprising that she nailed the look tonight. While Lagerfeld is mostly known for his women’s wear, he was also known for his own sense of style. His crisp white shirt with oversized collar was made specifically for him (and his tailor still today refuses to recreate it for anyone!). Cara takes the iconic dress shirt and turns it into a sexy mini-shirt dress with black leggings and fingerless gloves. She even colored her hair to Karl’s silver color. The oversized sleeves also gave a cape-like effect to add to the drama. So fierce!

Lizzo won the night in custom Chanel. She took a classic Chanel look and pushed the envelope…then pushed it a lil further. I love all the lil the details including the pearl Chanel boots and stacked bracelets. While this might be a bit literal for the event, the girl looks stunning. Love. Love. Love.

Jessica Chastain made my jaw drop in the velvet and tulle Gucci gown. She floated up the stairs with her new platinum hair and black sunglasses (both a nod to Lagerfeld). The attitude. The silhouette. The sexiness. Karl would have been proud.

THE WORST

Kylie Jenner clearly went to the wrong event. She is a beautiful girl but this dress didn’t belong at this event. This red Jean-Paul Gauthier gown is lovely but I do not see the Karl Lagerfeld connection. Fail.

I adore Dua Lipa but this Chanel dress was boring - especially for a co-chair. Claudia Schiffer originally wore this dress…but it’s too matronly for Dua Lipa. And even the 200+ carats of Tiffany diamonds can’t save this look. Sorry.

Kim Kardashian’s Schiaparelli dress is lovely - but not on Kim and not for this event. First - the positives: the dress is incredible. It took over 1000 hours to make and utilized over 50,000 freshwater pearls. Kim’s hair and makeup look beautiful. Now the rest of it. It’s a nude illusion dress - so why is the nude fabric so far from Kim’s skin tone. A dress of this calibre would have taken this into account - which makes me think that this dress wasn’t actually meant for her. Secondly, the pearls are covering all the essential parts….though a few more strands would have been more tasteful. However, with so much going on with the dress, why add a crazy heavy diamond choker. And when I saw the scarf/wrap/etc around her, I could only assume she had it for the same reason she had the fur coat last year - because the dress didn’t do up in the back. Lastly - while Lagerfeld did use a lot of pearls in his designs, this was too much of a stretch. It was close, but no cigar.

Jeremy Pope - you need to surround yourself with people who are more educated in fashion. This was too…basic. Time to hire a new stylist. Btw - did Anna Wintour really approve this bad Rihanna knock-off?

What to look for in Bora Bora Honeymoon Deals

You’re engaged, congratulations! Amid organising the wedding venue, guest list and attire, you need to find the honeymoon deal of your dreams so you can celebrate with the person of your dreams.

In the heart of French Polynesia, Bora Bora is the ultimate honeymoon destination. With a gorgeous blue lagoon and picture perfect white sand beaches you’re sure to have that Insta-worthy honeymoon. But there’s more to Bora Bora than beautiful scenery. Read on to learn about what Bora Bora honeymoon deals can offer you.

Unforgettable Accommodation

Whether you’re planning to spend a little or a lot of time in your room, you’re almost guaranteed to pick a Bora Bora honeymoon deal with a room that will blow you away. Bora Bora is famous for overwater bungalows, where there’s only a few steps between your bed and the shimmering blue lagoon. But don’t rule out accommodation on land! You can find some exquisite beachfront villas that offer just as much luxury, romance and privacy as an overwater bungalow.

Overwater Bungalows

If you like falling asleep to the sound of the waves gently hitting the stilts of your bungalow, and waking to views of the ocean as far as the eye can see, this is the room type for you.

One of our favourites for an overwater room is The St. Regis Bora Bora. They have one of the largest overwater rooms in Bora Bora and a stay here comes complete with that signature St. Regis butler service, where no request is too small or unattainable, and a glass floor panel so you can look into the lagoon below. If it’s good enough for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s honeymoon it’s definitely good enough for us!

Beachfront Villas

While the overwater bungalows are a one-of-a-kind experience, there’s still as equally spectacular accommodation found on land. Opting for a beachfront villa means you can have your toes in the sand the minute you step out of your villa. They may also be a more cost effective option. Still want to treat yourself? Some Bora Bora resorts offer beachfront villas with their own private pools. It’s luxury and privacy rolled into one great room option. So why not check out the One Bedroom Pool Beach Villa at Le Méridien Bora Bora?

House Of Memories (21/?)

Obi-Wan Kenobi x Padawan!reader

Warnings: literally just so much pining-

Summary: Confessions are made on both of your parts... not to each other, of course. A new threat arises in your path, though... her name is Satine.

A/n: I'm a little brat, so yes, I made live action Satine nicole kidman, who i actually love and adore and also fun fact, my sister looks almost exactly like her.

Words: 4.8k

I love you dearly, Obi Wan Kenobi.

Those words were hanging in the air still, but Obi-Wan hadn't been connected to your through his signature, so rather than hear the words your left from your sleeping presence, he felt them around his being, embracing him and making him feel overwhelming joy though he knew not why.

His face wore a smile, looking down at you and sensing the goodness he felt coming from your sleeping self, curled up against him like he was a blanket. Just like you'd held him the night before.

"It must be nice to have someone," the prisoner chimed in from the corner, turning around and revealing that he was far more involved than anyone suspected. The clones were by far all sleeping right now, though their helmets remained, Obi-Wan could sense it.

"How long have you been listening?" Obi-Wan's feeling of unending joy and happiness faded into the past as he now furrowed his brow at the man.

"Long enough to know she's a virgin and you're not, although I already figured that out last night."

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, looking back to the man and narrowing his eyes. He didn't even know what to say. He wasn't sure how he'd reply when he originally asked the question.

"Hey, buddy, I know what you're thinking, and believe me, had you not gotten me trapped here, I'd be tryn'a tap on that, too," the man also gestured to his cut off hands, and damn, he did have a sense of humor.

"You don't understand what you speak of, I am her mentor. I would never be so vile as to take something like that away from her."

"Without her permission, you mean."

Oh kriff. That wasn't the anticipated response.

Obi-Wan stayed silent, knowing anything he said after that would be to his own detriment. The man smirked, and he supposed it was because he was right, but he didn't want to stop there. He was getting into a Jedi's mind, a normally very hard feat to accomplish. He saw that you were his weakness, and he would milk it dry just to hit a nerve.

"Too bad she loves someone else."

Obi-Wan glared at him. Had you not been resting so peacefully on his shoulder; he would have gotten up and done something physical about the pest that so obnoxiously nagged him.

The man watched his face contort slowly and raised his brows in excitement and surprise when he figured out why.

"You know who it is, don't you?" He taunted, getting nice and close to the bars hoping to get a name, or even a face. Something that would stay inside the Jedi's mind for days. The man had no motivation whatsoever for this senseless behavior, just the pure entertainment value and the fun he was having.

Obi-Wan had someone in mind, he couldn't lie. It was the only other person you had been close enough to in order to possibly have these feelings. He couldn't pretend like it didn't make sense.

"Why don't you tell me about him, hmmm?"

He looked down at your face, slightly scrunched up with discomfort, and he realized that you must have felt his anxiety building up in his signature. He wasn't really able to immediately rid himself of it, so he put up a blocker, making sure you would be undisturbed.

"You need to be quiet. You are only here because we put you here, and soon you will be back in the hands of the republic," he thought he'd been straight forward, but the man behind bars quite literally had nothing to lose.

"Oh, I see...." the man trailed off, but then began to smirk, as if he had any input at all. Truthfully, he did. He was a master at his craft, learning all the ins and outs in order to become the best. He could read people like a book, and Obi-Wan, strong Jedi he was, unfortunately was no exception. "A friend of yours, huh?"

Obi-Wan went silent, tuning out the world for a moment, everything on the ship, everything outside the ship. All but you.

You loved Anakin, didn't you?

It made sense. You'd lived with him for ten years, got very close to him, and learned to understand every little nook of his personality, just like he did. It made sense that you would fall for the boy, tall, kind, and very attractive. Obi-Wan, as confident as he used to be, now felt he paled in comparison, all because of you. He didn't blame you, of course. He blamed himself, for being in love with you and having no way of ever showing you truly how he felt. He had done so many things that to anyone else could have been an obvious show of feelings, but you weren't just anyone, you were his padawan. You had known him for all of your life, or at least what you can remember of it, and had known him as a mentor, a friend. Someone who helped pick you up when you scraped your knees and would help you fix them up while singing you a special song that you both made up together.

He wasn't who you loved, but he wanted to be, so badly. For the first time in his life, he craved what Anakin had... he didn't want his power, his talent, his never-ending perseverance, or even his success in the wars. All he wanted was for you to speak about him the way you spoke of Anakin.

He didn't think it fair, that two people who are so close ought to endure this tragedy together. You both loved someone who had not reciprocated the feelings and had to deal with the disappointment.

When the ship landed, the ramp folding down and the clones waking up, he didn't dare wake you as well. He didn't want you to be spoken to by the prisoner before he was taken into custody. He instead scooped up your sleeping form in his arms, carrying you down and moving into the city transport before sitting down on one of the benches, you still in his arms. He couldn't bear to put you down, now, you were so warm, and he didn't mind holding the extra weight because you being in his arms, head on his chest was enough to sustain him until you returned home.

You stirred in your slumber, eyws fluttering and looking up at him with a sweet smile. You sat up on his lap and saw that he was deep in though before you'd come back into consciousness.

"Did you have a nice rest?" He asked, helping you off of his lap and into the seat beside him.

"Yes, I hope I didn't bother you too much, I'm sorry you had to carry me," you said, yawning as you spoke and blinking a few times to adjust to the bright light of the city. You'd missed the city. You never admitted how much you loved living on Coruscant, but whenever you'd leave, you would try and remind yourself of the buzzing speeders whizzing past your window in the afternoon, or the way the pretty neon lights would illuminate the night-time.

"Not at all, little one, I'm happy to help."

It was a primarily silent ride the rest of the way, and once you reached the station in front of the temple, Obi-Wan stood up before you, offering a hand to your feet.

He wasn't about to stop giving the small gestures, the little touches that he so desperately wished mean more. He wouldn't resist giving them to you now that he knew the object of your affections. He would keep loving you in the silence, the small glances in between conversations, and the hidden smiles.

Stepping off the transport, you were met with a familiar face, one you'd not seen in nearly a month since his missions took him so far off world. He stood with a happy look on his face, his padawan standing beside him and mimicking his stance.

"Thought I might find you here," he said, smirking as you ran down the platform and practically tackled him into an embrace.

Obi-Wan watched on from the platform, realizing it had been so obvious this whole time, and hee never was able to see it. He let his own feelings blind him from the truth.

"I've missed you so much," you told him, pulling back and looking at how long his hair had begun to grow out. It was a good look on him. "Where all have you both been? I need to hear everything about it."

He chuckled, standing back and letting you give a warm embrace to Ahsoka as well. He was so glad to know you got along so well. His best friend and his padawan.

"I'll save the stories for later. I was sent to collect you, Master Yoda thinks you'll be a valuable addition in completing our new mission," he explained, looking to Obi-Wan and smiling to him as well. "With his permission, that is."

You turned to your Master with wide. excited eyes. Though this situation was quite literally the exact thing he wanted to avoid since having his revelations on the ship about your feelings for Anakin, he couldn't look you in your shining eyes and tell you no. He couldn't take away something that made you happy because it didn't suit his own interests. He wanted you to be happy, any costs necessary.

"Of course, I'm sure she will be very useful. She performed exceptionally on this mission we've returned from," he nodded, coming down the platform and standing beside you. You loved hearing words of affirmation from him, whenever he gave you praise over a trial or situation that you'd gone through and handled well. You'd accomplished this last assignment perfectly.

"I'm sorry to take her so soon after you got back, but I hear you'll be embarking on a mission to Mandalore soon."

Oh boy. Anakin watched as his master's face went pale, but had no idea as to why he was so nervous. Obi-Wan clenched his jaw, nodding and putting on a face of indifference a second later.

"I suppose I'll be busy, then. I'll still miss you all, of course."

The conversation was strictly about your upcoming mission from then on, but he couldn't help it, his mind kept drfiting off to a person from his past, someone who he was quite sure he'd run into. This person of his younger years was sure to complicate things, and though his mind was clearly made up, he knew she would try and change it, for old times sake.

He knew it was bound to happen, seeing her again.

Satine....

-

You'd spent the last week with Anakin and his padawan Ahsoka, having been assigned on a mission to secure a rather important meeting of some republic leaders. There were threats on many of their heads, but thanks to your presence, nothing went wrong, and everyone made it there and back safely.

You'd enjoyed spending time with Anakin and his padawan. You'd been missing his company for a while, and now that you were able to attend missions with him, you were grateful. You adored Ahsoka, taking her under your wing and being the elder sister type whenever she was around. You never had any siblings, or at least never knew of any siblings, so she was definitely a companion you were close to by now.

Flying on the ship with some men from the 501st, you stood by as Anakin sent a hologram to Obi-Wan, who had been on Mandalore for a few days, now. He looked a little worn out, and as Anakin and Ahsoka recounted the details of the mission to him, you couldn't help but sense he was... distracted.

"And did your plan go the way you'd expected?" Obi-Wan asked halfheartedly. You snorted, standing closer, ready to step into the conversation if Anakin tried to defend himself.

"No, Y/n was right," he said the second part very softly, in a whisper almost, and you laughed, coming into view of the hologram so you could be seen on the receiving end.

"Say it louder, won't you?" you teased, slapping a hand on Anakin's back as he dropped his shoulders and rolled his eyes, looking at you with a narrow gaze.

"I really don't like this side of you."

Ahsoka and the clone troopers tried not to chuckle in the background, really, they did. But then again, there is only do. Do or do not, there is no try.

"I suppose you succeeded with excellence as always, little one," Obi-Wan seemed more engaged now than he was moments ago, but with the arm of a woman pulling him out of view, he again became very uninterested. "I will have to be going, but I look forward to you joining me on Mandalore, Anakin."

The transmission ended, and all you could think about was who that woman was. Her laughter had also been heard in the hologram, and just by her voice, she sounded angelic. You grew very heated in the face and went back to the seating area of the ship so you could calm down. Some of the clones that were there seemed to notice the tension you held in your body, and even though they weren't force sensitive, they could feel it in the air as well.

Rex was never one to intrude on someone being angsty, but he felt the need to step in on this one, since your presence was enough to make all the others a bit tense as well.

"What's wrong?" he sat by you. He knew you pretty well by now, and you'd known him since he was assigned to Anakin.

"Oh, it's nothing. I had a bad night's sleep is all," you lied, but the heaviness in the air did not lie. He sighed, taking his helmet off and looking you in the eye. You were a very truthful person, and he knew this. You wouldn't lie to him if it were face to face interaction.

"Okay, what's actually wrong?" he saw you look away, and you contemplated lying again, but it would be obvious this time if you did. You were honest to a fault, and it didn't help that he was staring holes into the side of your head.

"Master Kenobi transmissioned in, he seemed to be with a woman."

You didn't even have to explain it further for him to come to his own conclusion.

"Oh, I see. You're jealous," he said, and you nodded. You figured he might have put all the pieces together, but his next words proved he hadn't. "You've been the only girl in his life for a long time, it must be hard knowing someone else is getting attention, and not you."

"Yes, that's exactly it," you confirmed, although it was far more complicated than that, far more romantically tragic and complicated. You didn't want Rex to know, or any of the other clones for that matter, but upon figuring it out, Rex laughed a little, patting you on the back.

"Don't worry, you'll get over it. I'm sure in time you'll find a way to share his attention with others. You learned to do it with Anakin, yeah?"

No, that was not the same. You didn't have to fight Anakin because he wanted Obi-Wan's personal affections. Anakin never got his forehead kissed by Obi-Wan like you did. Anakin never held Obi-Wan's hand in the halls when no one was there. Anakin never laid next to Obi-Wan in his bed and held him the whole night through just so that maybe he could feel a little bit of the enormous love you had for him. You did those things, you did them. Because you were completely head over heels in love with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

You heard a gasp from next to you and looked up to see that Ahsoka had just walked into the hull, her eyes wide and her mouth dropped open a small bit. She had heard every thought you just released into the air, knowing she probably wasn't meant to. She knew you had opened your signature probably only because the clones could not feel your energy or hear your thoughts. She had heard a little of the conversation too as she was coming in, but that didn't tell her as much as your thoughts did.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," she stuttered out, lowering her gaze to your eyes and trying her best to straighten herself out. "May I have a word with you?"

You were stuck like a deer in headlights. You knew that she knew. It was practically broadcasted from your mind like a holo-show; she had it recorded in the archives of her mind very clearly. There was no misunderstanding, no mistaking your thoughts.

"Yes, of course."

You stood, trying to be inconspicuous, but Ahsoka threw all caution to the wind, yanking on your hand and pulling you towards the small weapons chamber of the ship, pressing the panel on the wall to shut the door and lock it.

You gained your bearings, having been tugged nearly into a wall on the way here.

"Care to explain what I heard in your signature?" she crossed her arms, but she didn't seem angry. Just very impatient.

"Look, I didn't know anyone was listening, if I did, I would have never thought about it, I swear."

"I find that answer both vague and unconvincing," she looked at you with the face that said 'don't kriff around with me, tell me what I want to know.'

You thought very hard about it for a moment. She was an even younger generation than you were, so clearly, she didn't mind the fact that you'd formed an attachment, but she was very heavily focused on who the attachment had been made to. A padawan falling for her master? It didn't seem right, and yet, the two of you made complete sense the more she thought about it.

"Fine," you looked both ways, trying to sense if Anakin was anywhere near the outside of the weapon's chamber. "You cannot tell anyone about this, you understand? Not even Anakin can know."

"My lips are sealed, now tell me."

You closed your eyes tightly. Telling her meant that someone else knew, but you had no reason not to trust her, and she pretty much had found out already, anyway.

"I think I might be in love with Obi-Wan," you confessed, a significant weight was being lifted from your shoulders, and you took a deep breath, feeling as though it had actually helped you to tell her.

"You think?" she slanted her brow, beginning to list off all the reasons why that was preposterous. "You sleep in the same bed. You hold his hand when you walk. He kisses your head, and you only... think you love him?"

"I know I love him. More than anything... but he can never know, it would ruin everything. Only two other people in the entire galaxy know about this, and one of them is a Sith Lord, so take that as you will."

"I'm not even going to ask..." she trailed, but a second later she looked to you, her eyes held incredible sympathy for your dilemma. It sounded tragic, to love someone and hide it from them so they wouldn't think less of you.

"Don't give me that look, you know how hard it is to control feelings like that."

"No, that's not why," she shook her head and placed her hand on your shoulder. Though you were much taller than she was, you seemed to be looking up to her in this moment, metaphorically, at least. "I don't understand why he can never know. If he gives you these gestures as well, surely he looks at you the same way you look at him."

You dropped your eyes to the ground, clenching your jaw and remembering that he was with another woman right now. One who'd grabbed him by the arm, laughing as if something was horribly funny. You didn't know who she was, but you hated her. You hated the mystery woman who was getting to spend time with your Obi-Wan. You wouldn't even let your mind wander off to think about what they were doing together, you might go into an over-thought coma.

"He doesn't. I can't help but feel like he'll always just see me as the little slave girl from Mimban who couldn't carry a bucket of mud. If I told him how I feel, and he rejected me, I would never recover. I would have to transfer masters probably, if he felt uncomfortable to train me, and my life would be completely ruined. Living a life where I love him in painful silence is far more comforting than even the thought of a life where he hates me and avoids me at every turn."

"He could never hate you. I understand, though. The way things are now, you still get to love him, be with him. I suppose it would be awful to live without the thing you love most," she replied.

You felt the ship land, and knew it was probably time to transfer assignments, but you needed to confirm to yourself and to her that this conversation was not to leave this room.

"Remember, not a word of this to anyone."

"I promise," she held her pinky up, and though you thought it was a bit juvenile, you remembered a time when Obi-Wan, who was older at the time than you were now, had done this to you when you promised him something, or vice versa. You took her pinky and shook it with yours, stepping out of the weapons chamber the next moment.

Mandalore was lovely, too bad Anakin only saw it for about an hour. He was only waiting to meet with Obi-Wan, ready to take the duchess and her advisors aboard a ship. It was important that they were there for the protection of the others, and also to try and barter with Satine. She refused to take sides in this war, which the republic respected, but there was a tough chance the separatists would do the same.

Upon some not so minor setbacks to the voyage, a chase began, trying to find one of the ship's occupants who had been a corrupt man named Senator Merrik, the trip became a little... bumpy. Anakin knew he should not ask Obi-Wan any further questions about his past relationship with Satine, but after his former Master explained to him the lengths of time they had spent together, He couldn't help but sense that maybe Obi-Wan's recklessness in this endeavor may have been caused by some unresolved feelings. He was running about the place like a crazy person, which was usually Anakin's job.

They boarded an elevator, heading towards the lower levels to see if they could find Senator Merrik, who had taken Satine, but Anakin couldn't wait any longer to find out what was on his mind.

"This may not be the time to ask, but were you and Satine ever-?"

"I don't see how that has any bearing on the situation at hand," Obi-Wan angrily cut him off, and Anakin raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. That reaction was a perfectly good answer to his question, though. He was always just so unaware of his former master's romantic involvements, now he found it a little strange that there seemed to be a very prominent one he never knew of. "I'm sorry to lose my temper, Anakin, but now is not the time."

But rest assured, the time did come, and Anakin saved the day, killing the traitorous senator and rescuing Satine from his evil clutches.

Satine was being tended to by her handmaidens, and Obi-Wan was sat in the quarters he'd been sharing with Anakin for the duration of the trip.

"Satine is a remarkable woman," Anakin began, and sensed his friend's discomfort in the arisen topic. "I can see why you are fond of her."

"I was," he corrected his former padawan, lifting his head to meet his eyes. It was not necessarily a conversation he wanted to have, and yet, Anakin persisted as he always did.

"She seems to still be fond of you. What has made it different on your side?"

And now Obi-Wan definitely didn't want to have this conversation, because he didn't want to admit to anyone but himself that it was you who had drawn his attention from anyone else who may want it. Especially Satine. He knew that she harbored those feelings for him, heck, she had confessed it to him right before she thought she was about to be killed this evening. He didn't reply to her, telling her he loved her, he only told her what was true. He told her had she asked him, he would have left the order. Years ago, that was true, but now? He was indifferent to her feelings for him. In a way, he always has been. It was never her that his soul latched onto. It was never her that he craved to be beside every day for the rest of his life.

"Is there... someone else?" Anakin mused, unsure of if he should continue or just drop it. Obi-Wan knew him inside and out, though. He would never drop something of this caliber. It was far too crucial that he know his friends' feelings, because perhaps then, he could share of his relationship, nay, secret marriage with Padme.

"Perhaps," he muttered, accidentally letting the single word fall from his lips and realizing too late he could not take it back.

Anakin wondered about who it could possibly be, and when all the other options were ruled out, it left two people. The first of which was Madame Jocasta Nu, the archive keeper. He was always in the archives, but he doubted very seriously that his dear friend seemed to be in emotional anguish over her. Easily ruled out a second later, it left only one other person in his life in which he spent nearly every waking moment with. There were very few and far between missions that would come to separate the two, and instantly it clicked with Anakin. It had to be you, the one he smiled so brightly at just for entering a room. He mentally kicked himself for not seeing it sooner. He supposed it was just a shock to find out that his former Master was capable of loving romantically. He chuckled, no, scoffed while dropping his head, shaking it a second later and trying his best not to roll his eyes at himself. He had been so clueless before, but now it seemed obvious.

"Wipe that look off your face, I know that look. I will not be sharing anymore about this," Obi-Wan was certain he was in the clear, putting his foot down, but the second Anakin listed his gaze again, he knew he was in for it.

"I think I already have an idea," Anakin sat down by his master, and Obi-Wan could feel the overwhelming thought culmination inside his former padawan's head. It raised the hairs on the back of Obi-Wan's neck for him to know what his affections for you were like from an outside perspective.

"Anakin," Obi-Wan turned to him sternly, and gave him a glare he rarely ever used. "May I remind you what should happen if these things are shared elsewhere?"

He would be expelled from the Jedi Order, revoked of his position on the Grand Council, and worse, be taken away from you. Anakin knew the consequences, and therefore would never risk such a thing by telling anyone else.

"You can trust me," he said sincerely, which in all honestly, his sincerity was rare. His sarcasm and wit were usually his go to. Obi-Wan knew he was good for his word. "Are you going to tell her?"

"Of course not. Don't speak of such foolish things," he went on the defensive again, his guardian personality showing through. It was always his best option, the defense.

"Why not? How will you know if she ever feels the same?"

"She doesn't," he answered flatly, looking at his friend and knowing that Anakin only wanted to help. He wanted Obi-Wan to be happy, but there were obstacles.

"How do you know?"

Because she loves you...

"I just do."

Anakin was no longer gaining ground with the man sat beside him, so he heaved a sigh, and did something that was not regular to him. He gave up. He stood to his feet and walked away, leaving Obi-Wan to wallow in his own misery.

Misery loves company, usually, but Obi-Wan sometimes felt solace in being alone. It helped him to clear his mind of the things that were attacking it.

The Northman

A young Viking prince quest to avenge his father's murder.

The Northman is easily one of my most anticipated films of the year. As someone who loves Norse Mythology and Viking history, I was really looking forward to seeing someone like Robert Eggars do this fantastic and fascinating culture to life. With someone like Eggars behind the camera, safe to say that he stuck the landing spectacularly but also brutally in his own signature. The Northman is a brutal and trippy historical epic worth of Valhalla.

The Northman tells the classic tale of an exile prince taking revenge on an evil uncle. Many would say that this story itself is unoriginal. However, The Northman is adapted from the Danish legend "Prince Amleth," which inspired William Shakespeare Hamlet. So the Northman is the OG of this classic tale. Furthermore, you throw in Eggar's unique and brutal direction with this classic story, which makes The Northman feel incredibly original. Eggar's outstanding direction takes center state in this film as he perfectly balances the trippy and brutal "magic" of the Vikings while also showing the brutal reality of these people. The writing in The Northman is incredibly elevated and poetic, which is a rarity in many historical epics today. However, it does sound muffled at points. Overall, Eggars was able to take a classic story and give it a unique style that makes it stand out from the rest.

The poetic writing came from fantastic acting. Alexander Skarsgard takes center stage as the ruthless berserker hellbent on revenge. His performance is powerful and captivating as he balances the hellbent berserker and a warm prince. Anya Taylor-Joy is another standout performance. Her performance is enchanting and beautiful as she plays a witch of the Earth. A performance that kinda surprised me was from Nicole Kidman. I only see Kidman as an Oscar-bait actress, but I know she takes on weird roles every once in a while, and she does a fantastic job as a Viking queen. Another performance that I really loved was from Bjork. Even though she is on screen for a short while, her performance is a standout in the film. The remaining performances from Claes Band, Willem Defoe, and Ethan Hawke were all outstanding.

Eggars and the entire creative team created what is easily one of the most immersive films that I've ever seen. The costume and production design are fantastic. The score is amazing to listen to. I really felt every one of those drum beats in the theater. The cinematography is breathtaking, even though it was a little dark and oversaturated at points. Furthermore, I must really applaud the filmmakers for their handling of the Viking rituals. They were enthralling to watch. The entire creative team really did their homework in this film. My only complaint is that I did not get a Blood Eagle.

Overall, The Northman is a historical epic that stands above the rest. Its unique, brutal, and trippy directions give its classic revenge story an intricate twist, that makes the film worthy of Valhalla.

I am giving The Northman, an A.

After making her screen debut in 1989, Sandra Oh has enjoyed a remarkable career in both film and television. Although the versatile talent and 12-time Emmy nominated actress is best known for her iconic roles as Cristina Yang on Grey’s Anatomy and Eve Polastri on Killing Eve, Oh has also worked with some of the finest movie directors, including Alexander Payne, Steven Soderbergh, Mina Shum, John Cameron Mitchell, and more.

RELATED: Killing Eve – 10 Best Quotes From The Show

As fans continue to enjoy Oh’s new hit Netflix sitcom The Chair, it’s worth recollecting her best movie moments for those who want to see more of the talented actress on the big screen.

10 Defendor (2009): 6.8

Peter Stebbings’ dark offbeat superhero comedy Defendor stars Oh as Dr. Ellen Park, a psychiatrist who gives hilarious facial and verbal reactions to the outlandish story relayed to her by Arthur Poppington (Woody Harrelson), an ordinary man moonlighting as a vigilante crime fighter.

Cut from the same genre-bucking, irreverent cloth as James Gunn’s Super, once Arthur confesses his secret life to Dr. Park, she convinces the judge to go easy on him and allow him to continue his heroic activity. When tragedy strikes, Oh shows how much heartfelt pathos she can portray by attending a touching ceremony for her patient.

9 Under The Tuscan Sun (2003): 6.8

Written and directed by the late Audrey Wells, Under the Tuscan Sun is a delightfully uplifting rom-com about Frances (Diane Lane), a writer who ups and leaves her life in San Francisco to live in Tuscany after discovering her husband’s infidelity. Oh plays Patti, Frances’ best friend who encourages her to travel to Italy.

In addition to the gorgeous locations, breezy tone, and rich cinematography, Oh adds complexity to the story as Patti, a lesbian expecting a child even after her lover Grace (Kate Walsh) has left her. It’s Patti’s visit to Tuscany when she’s nine months pregnant that helps Frances find the courage to pursue true love despite the painful past.

8 Double Happiness (1994): 7.0

Oh made her feature film debut in Mina Shum’s must-see coming-of-age tale Double Happiness, in which she plays the lead role of Chinese-Canadian Jade Li. The intensely personal semiautobiographical drama shows how divided Jade is between her traditional Chinese upbringing and her modern Canadian lifestyle.

With a natural performance by Oh matched with the authentic, well-observed writing of Shum, the movie is a universally relatable tale of a person grappling with their own identity while trying to appease the expectations of loved ones. In her first film performance, Oh won the Genie Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, proving what a titanic talent she has been from the start.

7 Rabbit Hole (2010): 7.0

John Cameron Mitchell’s Rabbit Hole is a bruising account of a family dealing with the death of a young child at the hands of a teenage driver. Nicole Kidman gives a memorable and towering performance as Becca, a mournful mother who begins to find solace by interacting with Jason (Miles Teller), the driver who accidentally took her son’s life.

Although she has a smaller supporting role, Oh plays Gabby, a fellow grieving parent who helps Howie (Aaron Eckhart) deal with his loss at the group therapy sessions he and Becca attend. With profound empathy for Howie, she becomes instrumental in his healing process.

6 Meditation Park (2017): 7.1

Twenty-three years after working with Mina Shum for the first time, Oh reunited with the filmmaker for the sweet-natured drama Meditation Park in 2017. The story concerns Maria Wang (Pei-Pei Cheng), an aging woman in the throes of an existential crisis upon suspecting her husband’s infidelity. Oh plays Maria’s daughter Ava, a mother of two who encourages Maria to reconcile with her estranged brother ahead of his wedding and break free from her husband’s hold.

RELATED: Asian-American Movies to Watch If You Loved Crazy Rich Asians

As another trenchant glimpse at the immigrant experience and a statement about the importance of women finding their own voice, Shum’s film is tender, touching, and triumphant.

5 Hard Candy (2005): 7.1

David Slade’s Hard Candy is a deeply unnerving glimpse at a predatory pedophile (Patrick Wilson) getting his just deserts when a teenager (Elliot Page) tricks, traps, and tortures him in his apartment. Oh plays the man’s neighbor, Judy Tokuda, admitting she only took the role due to her working relationship with Page, a fellow Canadian she worked with on Wilby Wonderful the year prior.

With most of the action set inside the inescapable apartment, the visceral terror of the violence that Hayley (Page) exacts on Jeff (Wilson) is met by the suffocating sense of claustrophobia, making for a really upsetting experience. However, the hugely satisfying conclusion helps atone for the squeamish and uncomfortable moments of carnage.

4 Last Night (1998): 7.2

The most unheralded of Oh’s top films happens to be Last Night, a mordant pitch-black comedy about the impending apocalypse and the rag-tag band of Canadians with differing views on how to react. With the end of the world set to strike at midnight, Sandra (Oh) tries to make it out of her stranded position in Toronto and reunite with her husband, Duncan (David Cronenberg). One bad thing after another ensues.

Weird, wild, and ultimately winning, Last Night boasts writer/director Don McKellar’s signature brand of dark humor and anarchic energy. As such, the film has become an unforgettable cult classic among those who’ve seen it.

3 Raya And The Last Dragon (2021): 7.4

With great respect and honor for the rich historical traditions of Southeast Asia, Raya and the Last Dragon is one of Disney’s most beloved recent animated movies. Sandra Oh lends her voice to the commanding role of Virana, the Fang chieftess and mother of Raya’s main rival, Namaari (Gemma Chan).

RELATED: Raya And The Last Dragon – What The Voice Actors Look Like In Real Life

With a moving story, spellbinding animation, and characters never before seen, Raya and the Last Dragon continue to soar in the hearts and minds of viewers.

2 Sideways (2004): 7.5

Directed by her then-husband Alexander Payne, Oh demonstrated her hilarious comedic chops in the indie darling Sideways, a character study of a failing writer at an existential crossroads. The boozy road trip follows Miles (Paul Giamatti), an uptight novelist, and his lecherous pal Jack (Thomas Hayden Church), as they hit Santa Barbara wine country on a tasting tour.

Praised for its excellent performances and light tonal touch between comedy and drama, Oh gives a standout turn as Stephanie, a cool sommelier who has a steamy love affair with Jack (whom she does not know has a fiancee). When she finds out, she goes absolutely ballistic in one of the movie’s funniest moments. The story is so sharply penned that it won an Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay.

1 The Red Violin (1998): 7.6

Despite playing a bit role as Madame Ming in the fifth and final chapter of The Red Violin, the ambitious epic ranks among Sandra Oh’s most well-received movie to date. The film traces a famed 17th-century Violin from its creation in Italy to its auction in modern-day Montreal, and all that the instrument endured in creating some of the most beautiful music the world has ever heard.

Praised for its sumptuous set decorations and costume designs, Oscar-winning original music, intelligent story, and a throwback style of filmmaking that calls to mind the grand epics of the past, the resonance of The Red Violin is still felt today.

❝   HISTORY.

born on tracyn, deimos was always a part of the mandalorian legacy. his clan was small and well-hidden, but their numbers had been going down and down over the years. thanks to the numerous civil wars, calls to action, the unrest with the republic and separatists, the sith- their history has been tumultuous at best.

with the frightening nightscowl as their signet but they had nothing to show for it, the clan was nothing more than an embarrassment in the eyes of the mandalorians that subscribed to the original ideals of the creed. how could this pack of pacifists have such a powerful signet? clan vurrah was a disgrace.

and deimos was just as disappointed. he cared so deeply for his clan, he wanted people to take them seriously. he thought the mandalorians could be taken seriously again if they were to start reverting back to their original ways, by working hard and fighting back against extinction instead of quietly allowing it. their silence was their survival, but they couldn’t just keep surviving, they needed to prosper.

so, growing up, he started pushing for more fighting, more training with weapons, more of that spartan competition that once had mandalorians at the peak of society. his parents were constantly reprimanding him, trying to keep him in line and get him to follow the ways of the clan. it was all in vain.

when deimos was twenty-three, there was an uprising on tracyn that nearly obliterated all of them. most of the clan was lost including his brother, who perished right beside him, and that’s when he knew this false sense of peace was literally killing them off. when the dust settled and the clan buried their dead, deimos burst. he refused to stick with a clan that got his brother killed, he refused to stick to a dying creed, a dying world – not when he knew there were better ways to persevere. and he left. he renounced his signet, broke it off of his armor, and got on a ship. he never saw them again.

ever since that day, he’s been roaming the galaxy to find or build a new clan. one that prepares for trouble, one that goes back to some of the roots of the mandalorians, the ones that made them strong. they needed to be able to protect themselves in order to keep up the resol’nare.

a highly dangerous run-in with a tuk’ata has given deimos his own signet, granted by a clan leader on moraband that witnessed the attack. moraband was abandoned for many years, but deimos had a feeling there would be refugees there, taking advantage of that reputation to hide out. he was right, but didn’t have long to celebrate it when he was attacked. deimos defeated the beast alone, as the clan leader had no interest in saving someone that got into the battle out of what he perceived to be a stupid mistake. but he saw through the fight that deimos was resourceful and clever, perhaps a little too impulsive for his own good. a wildcard, much like the very beast he defeated. the tuk’ata were known as sith warbeasts, impossible to tame, so… it just stuck. clan of one, a fucking wreck, deimos the warbeast.

so overall he’s really just… lost. looking for a home. he’s still mourning his brother, though it has been years since the loss. he’s been to every habitable planet in the galaxy in the search for mandalorians, but there isn’t really a clan around that wants him or his ideas messing with their quiet. most are complicit at this point – 24,000 years of turmoil and the clock just keeps running. the first order isn’t a fan of the mandalorians, and that’s been made crystal clear.

deimos despises the first order with everything in him. if not for them, the mandalorians would have a chance to bounce back, but the first order has a habit of crushing any groups that could be considered a threat. he will kill any first order member he meets, no remorse.

well. he’s also an assassin for hire, so he’ll kill anyone with no remorse. but he doesn’t have to be paid to kill imps. he’s an assassin because the bounty guild bothers him and he doesn’t care about their structure. he tried a few times but it wasn’t worth it so he dropped and just took whatever job was around.

❝   ARRIVAL ON BATUU.

his latest hit brought him to batuu, so he’s here to refuel and hang around, see if any jobs come by. and also to look into the mandalorians, if any exist here, but part of him has given up on finding a clan and more on building one up himself.

❝   PRESENT.

he’s met almost all the mandalorians on batuu and has formed a close connection with a few of them. the first member of his clan was breena kelwic, the second was selene vizsla.

he’s a little bit of an informant for the first order -- more or less telling ben what the mandalorians need from the order and helping give ideas for future legislation. he still hates them, but he figures if this is a chance to help mandalorians, he has to take it.

❝   HEADCANONS.

he doesn’t strictly follow the helmet code because it’s not technically part of the resol’nare, but he’s almost always seen in his armor. and he’s not traditional in the sense that he was willing to abandon his family for ideological disagreements, which tends to not be a good enough reason to break with the clan and destroy your signet

his armor is mostly charcoal grey and silver, but he has scarlet accents. that deep red signifies defiance, and that’s been his color since he was a teenager and got his armor in the first place. his clan chose the color for him to mock him a little, but he wears it with pride

Creative director Demna Gvasalia asked whether the future of fashion lies in its history. Balenciaga celebrated the art of repurposing, reworking, and regeneration for the label's autumn/winter 2024 haute couture show.

Gwen Stefani Plastic Surgery

Going by my inbox, more significant than a few of you have noticed ch-ch-ch-changes to Gwen Stefani's visage recently. Adjustment is inevitable with aging, and Gwen had remained in the general public eye because of the late '90s when she was the lead singer of the band No Doubt. Currently 45 years old, she is a mommy of three, a prize-winning musician and songwriter, designer of the style tag L.A.M.B., spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris As a coach on 'The Voice.' Check out the blog about celeb Hollywood!

Let's take a look at just how Gwen's elegance look has developed over the years:

The year 1996

The first image was from 1996 when Gwen was on the cusp of fame as a 27-year-old singer. Ah, the '90s! Thin brows, first-generation marsala lipstick, a bindi, and the strangest lowlights I've ever before seen. However, I can not help observe how much larger Gwen's nose looks contrasted to the present. (Not that she had not been eye-catching here with her original nose.).

The year 1997

Perhaps an early rhinoplasty took place? Gwen currently looks various in this 1997 shot. Maybe it's just the angles below, but this is much closer to the Gwen we know today, save for the brow-area action. This isn't the same nose she has today, but it appears narrower than in the initial photo.

The year 1998

It's challenging to state whether she would certainly go under the knife at this moment or otherwise. But her fascination with the eyebrows, bindi, and also dark lipstick continued.

The year 2001

In 2001, Gwen launched a brand new look. This is when platinum blonde hair, as well as red lipstick, became her trademark. Eyebrows are a little softer, thank goodness, yet that lip lining is unfavorable.

The year 2002

By now, Gwen was 34 as well as becoming an extra innovative elegance look. Notification just how she was over-drawing her upper lip line before that was a point.

The year 2004

You can see her present-day nose below. It looks like it's been improved; it's narrower and more angular. As for the remainder of Gwen's face, I seem like something has altered, yet I can not place my finger on it-- possibly it's that her temple and also eyebrows appear even more "raised"? Or maybe it's merely the Kabuki appearance.

The year 2005

I assume her brows seem higher compared to, say, 2001. (So, Botox?) Her forehead is also incredibly smooth.

The year 2006

OMG, this hair-- I die! I also enjoy seeing Gwen sans red lipstick and even with fresher skin. She did not over-draw her lips right here, so the upper one is naturally slim (and also, I assume that's completely great). You can see the evidence of Botox in the new angles of her brows. Instead of coming down at the tails, they're arching upward.

The year 2007

The list below year, Gwen's brows were various once more. Maybe she eased up on the Botox, or perhaps it's that they're much more filled out right here with a pencil. Her skin is amazingly smooth.

The year 2009

Gwen transformed 40 in 2009-- so gorgeous. It's nice to see her eyebrows looking even more all-natural below. Does this woman understand precisely how to function a red lipstick or what?!

The year 2010

Gwen experimented with an all-new hair as well as make-up look here. I enjoy electrical pink lipstick with lots of curls. Nevertheless, I still believe Gwen looks finest in her signature very little make-up with an intense red on the mouth and hair removed from the face.

The year 2013

Whoomp, there it is. Unexpectedly, there's a hint of manly aim to her attributes-- which I've observed can occur when individuals begin doing treatments (with guys, it goes the opposite way, as well as they, obtain even more feminine). Eyebrows are significantly raised, there's filler in her lips and cheeks, and her face seems a bit wooden/frozen. In addition to her skin structure seems puffier as well as uneven.

The year 2014

Lainey Chatter called this a "Kidman eye"-- as in Nicole Kidman, whose cosmetic interventions are well-documented. Put merely, Gwen's face is so iced up below from the 'tox that a person's eye can not open normally. Do you see it?

The year 2015

This is much better, although I do not understand the visible lip liner (J.Lo does that a lot). Gwen's skin looks genuinely excellent!

The year 2016

If anything, Gwen looks younger here than a couple of years before! I enjoy to see her back with the red lipstick; that and the ponytail make her look so fresh. Nonetheless, you can still see the injections all over (lips, cheeks, temple).

The year 2017

And here's our most current shot of Gwen. She's still favoring the heavy lashes, drawn-on brows ... and also plumped-up cheeks.

Conclusion

So what do the specialists think of Gwen's charm makeover? According to Dr. Anthony Youn: "Her eyes look more open, and also may be the result of a conventional, well-performed top eyelid lift, which is called blepharoplasty. Her temple is additionally exceedingly smooth for a lady her age, possibly due to injections of Botox. I also presume that her best skin could be the result of some well-performed chemical peels off. It additionally appears that her nose has been thinned at one time.".

Yes! If Gwen eased up just a tad with the shots and left her top lip alone, it would undoubtedly do marvels in giving her a much more natural appearance. But at age 47, I say she looks rather fantastic.
