How 3 Global Glam Icons Would Look Today If They Had Never Undergone Cosmetic Procedures: Photos via AI

In the highly scrutinized entertainment industry, appearances can be everything. Many stars have resorted to cosmetic procedures to meet the demanding expectations of their careers.

Bella Hadid, Ariana Grande, and Amanda Bynes have all opted for cosmetic enhancements at various points in their careers. Each has discussed personal reasons for these choices, with some citing industry pressures.

Now, let’s imagine a different scenario: what if these stars had never undergone any cosmetic procedures? Using AI technology, we explore this intriguing possibility, starting with Bella Hadid.

Bella Hadid

A well-known figure in fashion, Bella Hadid has walked countless runways and captivated audiences with her striking features. She was named the most beautiful woman according to the Golden Ratio of beauty, which celebrates her nearly perfect facial symmetry and features.

Bella, daughter of Yolanda Hadid and sister to Gigi Hadid, has been in the limelight from a young age. Growing up in a family known for their striking looks, she faced significant scrutiny about her appearance, including being deemed the “uglier sister.”

At just 14, she had a nose job, a decision she now reflects on with regret, wishing she had preserved the “nose of her ancestors.” She also believed she would have simply “grown into it.”

Despite widespread rumors, Bella has clarified that she has not undergone procedures like eye lifts, jaw shaving, or lip filling “I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me,” she told Vogue in 2022. Instead, she attributed some changes in her appearance to simpler tricks like face tape.

Bella also addressed how a teenage photo led to misconceptions about her face being altered, highlighting natural changes from adolescence. She spoke about the challenges of feeling misunderstood and the impostor syndrome she experiences in the industry, exacerbated by constant scrutiny and criticism.

Bella’s successful career has come with personal challenges. She has spoken about how the pressures of the modeling world led to severe burnout in 2021, prompting her to seek mental health treatment.

Her story highlights the stark contrast between her carefully curated public image and her private struggles with self-esteem and acceptance.

Interestingly, Bella’s public image also includes a lighter, more casual aspect. Bella’s striking resemblance to fashion icon and former French First Lady Carla Bruni is so notable that even Bruni herself has commented on their similarity.

On social media, Bruni shared a photo of them together, playfully questioning if Bella might be her “hidden daughter.” This interaction showcases a humorous and warm connection between two generations of models, emphasizing their shared visual traits.

Carla’s playful comment about their striking resemblance piques curiosity about Bella’s natural look. To see what she might look like without any cosmetic procedures, we used AI technology.

As we continue discussing natural beauty and celebrity culture, we now turn our attention to Ariana Grande, another star dealing with the complexities of public image and personal decisions in the entertainment industry.

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande, known for her powerful voice and dynamic presence, has faced challenges related to her appearance. Early in her career, Ariana had to bleach and dye her hair every other week for her role as Cat on the Nickelodeon show, “Victorious,” which ran from 2010 to 2013. This led to severe hair damage, according to the singer.

Ariana shared her frustrations openly on social media, explaining the need for wigs and extensions as she waited for her natural hair to recover.

“I now wear a wig on Sam & Cat,” she stated, referring to the spinoff series of “Victorious.” “My real hair is back to brown, and I wear it in a ponytail because my actual hair is so broken.”

Apart from her hair issues, Ariana has been candid about her use of cosmetic enhancements. “I had a ton of lip filler over the years, and Botox,” she admitted,

She also discussed how beauty, for a long time, meant hiding behind these enhancements. But she noted a turning point in her relationship with beauty after she stopped using these enhancements.

Ariana now embraces the natural signs of aging, expressing a desire to see her “well-earned cry lines and smile lines.” However, she humorously contemplates the future, saying, “Now, might I get a facelift in ten years? Might, yeah.”

In addition to physical appearance, Ariana has spoken about the emotional and psychological impacts of fame. Dealing with public scrutiny and personal insecurities has been a significant challenge.

“It’s tough to spend some of the most important years of your life in front of so many strangers who want to pick you apart,” she shared back in 2014.

This openness about the challenges of living in the spotlight leads us to wonder about the alternative paths her image might have taken.

Using AI technology, we’ve visualized what Ariana might look like today if she had never opted for any cosmetic enhancements. The images below show Ariana embracing her natural beauty, reflecting her appreciation for aging and self-acceptance.

While Ariana has embraced natural aging, Amanda Bynes’s experiences reveal a darker side of fame, highlighting her struggles with public image and mental health.

Amanda Bynes

Amanda Bynes became famous as a child on shows like “The Amanda Show.” She later starred in teen movies like “What a Girl Wants” and “She’s the Man.” By her mid-20s, she stopped acting, with her last major role in the movie “Easy A” in 2010.

Her life away from the camera has been challenging, having faced several legal issues. She has been arrested multiple times, including for DUI and for allegedly throwing a marijuana bong from her apartment window in New York.

Court documents from her parents revealed that Amanda has had serious problems with how she sees her body. “Amanda has profound issues with her body image and is obsessed with the idea that she (and others) are ‘ugly,’” the petition revealed.

This distress has led to significant financial repercussions; she quickly spent $1.2 million from her $4 million in savings on drugs and cosmetic surgeries, as per her parents. They were also worried about her ongoing interest in further cosmetic surgeries, fearing they could be harmful.

Despite these worries, Amanda has found some solace in surgeries. She has talked about getting cosmetic surgery which has helped her feel better about herself.

In 2023, Amanda discussed her blepharoplasty—a surgery on her eyelids she deemed necessary for more than cosmetic reasons.

“I had blepharoplasty surgery on the skin folds and the corners of my eyes, so I don’t have those skin folds anymore,” Amanda explained. “It was one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence and it made me feel a lot better in my skin.”

Though primarily cosmetic, the surgery also improves functional aspects like vision, obstructed by sagging skin, say medical experts.

Amanda’s surgery underscores the difficult choices she faces to feel comfortable with herself, especially under the relentless public scrutiny.
