I don't know how the interview she recently gave to Variety found me but it kind of makes me wish that fashion expedites her time and that she goes back to living off paparazzi candids and is okay with tv appearances here and there just like her mom.
I applaud whoever feels like disclosing cosmetic procedures when they want to profit off their image as a 'beauty standard' but for the sake of professional strategy, it should be later in your career when credibility and success have been undeniably achieved (e.g. Bella Hadid talking about it when she was on the cover of US Vogue). When it's all still debatable and when everyone still thinks of you as the person who became a carbon copy of someone else (Gabriette), it just unlocks a new and darker level of insecurity. I'm still perplexed that, by 20 and while dealing with multiple health complications from a very public ED, this girl had simultaneously gone through several cosmetic procedures on her breasts (breast reduction, breast implants, removal of implants, reconstruction + putting implants back in) plus the weird nose job, chin reduction, and the obvious (that she continues to deny) lip fillers.
.. that, in addition to her demeanor (that Fashion Award 2025 video above).. I usually don't think of public figures as some negative or positive influence but in her case, especially with the faux positivity movement and the amount of celebratory commentary around her by younger, impressionable people.. I kind of wish we had a second wave of the Belgian models movement when all kinds of quirky natural features were considered cool and sent out a message that not being violent to your body to look like someone else is perfectly okay. The modeling industry should seriously find some of its pride back and stop being the playground of nepo kids whenever they feel ugly and need to silence criticism on their appearance by buying their way into the one industry (fashion) that, in the eyes of society, can officially declare them 'pretty', above questioning, and one of a kind.
