TIL about the “Mar-a-Lago face” a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles. It’s characterized by “detectable” facial modifications, including exaggerated Botox, visible fillers, extreme tanning, fake eyelashes, dark smokey eyes, and full lips. The look is often seen as a status symbol and a way to signal political allegiance, inspired by figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle. The trend is so distinctive that it’s been described as a “visual shorthand” for wealth, power, and identity within these groups.
fashion trend among American conservative and Republican women
First example: Matt Gaetz. Thanks Mr. Wikipedia, very cool.
I wonder if they think of it as an upfront cost of permanent marking that’s clearly visible.
You know, the reason members of MS-13 get knuckle tattoos that clearly state MS-13.
Remember though, taking HRT and getting gender affirming surgery is “mutilating” your body.
Trt and hgh are fine, how else are you going to look like mini Rambo?
This is gender affirming surgery. But I suppose that’s your point.
Doesn’t Bezos’ wife have that look? Does that mean she’s signaling she’s a trumper or she really doesn’t know.
Fuck, she looks like her jaw could unhinge like a snake.
I think it means she’s shallow and insecure.
Just a little more filler and she can easily hide in the duck pond without raising suspicion.
holy snapping duckshit wtaf is that jfc
Yea, he traded a classy sophisticated woman for that
It’s abuse. I see this in women who were trophy wives. They are terrified of getting dumped for a younger model because they typically have no way to support themselves aside from their youthful look. Their biggest fear is someone exactly like them replacing them.
And Gumball comes in clutch once again. Man, that show was ahead of its time lol
I imagine one of those women dared to have her own opinions. Vs, yes money daddy, I’ll further look like a clown for you.
It’s just bad plastic surgery for people with no taste; nothing really conservative about that but it sure seems to happen a lot in the red cap circles.
Lips, buccal fat removal, some jaw restructuring perhaps and hella facelift/botox.
Yes, they just check all the boxes for stereotypical “beautiful” features and somehow miss the point of a human beauty.
It’s like someone with face blindness deciding if your face is beautiful.
It’s like having an overweight, pants-shitting draft-dodger as “strongman commander-in-chief.” Or discussing the Nobel Peace Prize for Shitler 2.0. Or rain on your wedding day.
when I was growing up we called that trashy. But you do you I guess
Gaetz … paid to look like that?
Gaetz just got a bad botox job. Wonder if he’ll keep it as it wears off. Look, I hate the fucker, he was my Congressman, but his look isn’t anything compared to what these women are doing.
Nah man Gaetz is unrecognizable compared to the before pics. That picture of his fresh Botox job in 2024 was nightmarish and still clowned on to this day.
I’m genuinely curious, when someone has a face and lips full of filler and implants and whatnot, when they get a really good solid punch in the face, like proper wind-up and full shoulder and torso twist slug in the chops, does it pop them like an overripe zit, or does it dent them like a ball of playdough?
There are true scientific breakthroughs to be made in this area, for sure.
That article needs more before-and-after photos

Tnx, good link!
From ‘normal’ to " abhorrently ugly".
At least they are now easy to spot and forever identifiable.

It’s like the inverse of the lizard people conspiracy theory.
“Welp, time to get into politics. Better go lizard up.”
Lizards as in reptilians. It’s become a bit of self fulfilling prophesy.
Snakes and the likes have a peculiar reptilian smell, iirc…
You made me laugh, tnx. But now I’ll stop thinking of other weird things to say…
It’d explain why they’re cold-blooded. Remember the whole thing about eating bugs as a meat substitute? If I told you Trump was molting, wouldn’t it make a strange amount of sense?
At first glance in the top picture I thought they were wearing “The Purge” masks, lmao jfc
Ok, but… Is there really much of a difference between this and “normal candid photo/awkwardly-timed candid photo” pairs here? I’m sure if people were taking photos of me everywhere I went I’d have some faces like that and I don’t want to have anything to do with those people.
That’s a fair point, these might be exaggerated to garner attention. Having said that, my lips don’t randomly swell like they’ve been stung by a bee, so there’s definitely a strong element of cosmetic surgery going on here.
They Live vibes every day
Oh i was calling it “i am rich but i have no taste” - face
I see it as “I pretend to be rich and have poor taste. I’m in a shit ton of debt so this better work out”. Too many people have that “fake it till you make it” attitude.

90,000 dollars to butcher your own face so that Trumpists will know that you’re a Trumpist.
It’s like every single day I encounter something and I’m like, “Well, it can’t really get any stupider than that.” And like every single day I am astonished at how stupid things can get.
Noem, karolina leavitt, (KIMBERLY gullifoyle, is the final stage of mar-a-lago face of republican women). loomer is like 32, and leavitt is like 28 only.
In my day we’d just dye our fringe blue and have an earnest belief in human rights.
Matthew J. Nykiel, a board-certified surgeon, stated the appearance is modeled after Ivanka Trump’s appearance.[9] Melinda Anna Farina, an aesthetic consultant, identified the Mar-a-Lago face as attempting to emulate the appearance of Eastern European women.[2]
but there’s totally no cult of personality /s
its A REQUIREMENT to be part of trumps circle, to look like his daughter ivanka.
Oh that’s why their faces look like that. I always wondered why wealthy republicans have fucked up faces.
eyebrow lifts, botox to the face, cant show signs of aging, because its not “strong looking”
Showing everyone how ugly they are on the inside by fucking up the outside.
