Why are celebs morphing into one another?

Experts reveal why the latest disturbing trend in cosmetic procedures is leaving celebrities all looking worryingly similar…

Plastic surgery P and cosmetic procedures are nothing new in the world of showbiz, but celebrities’ faces are changing at an alarming rate.

Some, including reality stars Charlotte Crosby, Amy Childs, Sophie Kasaei and Chloe Ferry, are virtually indistinguishable. Worryingly, it appears that in their bid for perfection, they’ve gradually begun to morph into one generic look with wide eyes, big lips, high cheekbones, neat noses and heavy eyebrows.

But experts warn they could be damaging themselves both physically and mentally by going down this route. Body image expert and psychologist Deanne Jade (founder of National Centre for Eating Disorders) is very concerned about the effects

on both the reality stars and on girls who want to copy them.

She says: “These girls look like clones of each other. They’re following the fashion of the time, but it’s actually limiting them as they’ll probably only have a brief time in the spotlight. They’re unlikely to become icons like Angelina Jolie or Meryl Streep, who embrace their differences and are instantly recognisable.”

And Deanne believes that the rise in plastic surgery among young celebrities promotes narcissism and attention-seeking behaviour. She explains: “I’ve got nothing against surgery if there’s something drastically out of proportion, such as ears sticking out at right angles – but these girls are pretty in their own right. Although now they’ve latched on to a particular look, they’re scared that if they don’t stick to it they

won’t get the attention they want. Often, they’re terrified of losing their time in the spotlight, and that’s what’s driving them to have surgery. It seems to be a full-scale obsession – they aren’t doing it just to look perfect, but because they’re addicted to it.”

But Deanne’s worried that it may harm them in the long-term. She admits: “It’s damaging because they could start to feel less attractive if they don’t continue getting work done, so it sets up an addiction. I’ve had many calls from reality stars who’ve ended up out of the spotlight, suffering from anxiety and depression. Interestingly, they rarely follow it up – perhaps they’re afraid of admitting they need help as that might make them feel worse about themselves.”

The 27-year-old reality star – who’s had Botox and lip and cheek fillers – says: “It’s addictive... you want more and more. There’s also a massive pressure with fame to look good.” Surgeon Mark says: “Jordan’s lips are inflated and the ridge above her top lip is caused by too much filler. Her face is bloated and her forehead is taut from Botox. She looks cat-like, too, as though a facelift has pulled her eyes at an angle.” After a nose job, lip fillers, an eyebrow lift, Botox, veneers and fillers – costing £50k – Chloe, 21, told Closer: “I don’t regret a thing.” Last week, she added: “I’m going to have my nostrils widened.” Mark says: “Meanwhile, Chloe has undergone a similar transformation emulating Jordan’s. There is too much filler in her cheeks, overdone lip fillers, plus Botox in her forehead to give her raised eyebrows.”

After her £4k nose job in 2016, Charlotte, 26 – who’s also had Botox, lip fillers and tattooed eyebrows – said: “Looking in the mirror, I felt it was a different person looking back me.” 2011 Amy, 26, who’s had Botox and lip fillers, told Closer: “I was getting them [lips] done every three months. When I got the filler taken out, I had no lips left and needed corrective surgery.” 2010 CHARLOTTE CROSBY AMY CHILDS
