Kylie Jenner made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week, donning a sheer white dress and showcasing a natural makeup look for the Simone Rocha and Jean Paul Gautier shows on Wednesday, January 24. Despite looking stunning, the internet had its share of critics.
Jenner, rumored to be dating “Call Me By Your Name” star Timothée Chalamet, faced undue scrutiny online for her appearance. A video capturing the “Kardashians” star at the event circulated on social media, sparking a wave of negative comments.
Critics were quick to comment on Jenner’s appearance, with one user tweeting, “Looks like her face is falling apart.” Another added, “We’re seeing in real time what long term filler usage does as you age,” while a third suggested, “Filler migrates. In other words, it MOVES. So where it was once placed, it will eventually end up somewhere else and this makes you look disfigured, older or different.”

However, Jenner’s supporters were swift in coming to her defense, challenging the harsh critiques. One supporter inquired, “Her face looks normal to me. Is there something specific we should be looking at?” Another rationalized, “No. She just got older. As people usually do.” A third highlighted the unrealistic standards set by photo editing, stating, “What’s wild is she looks normal but y’all are so used to Facetune that you forget it’s perfectly normal to have shadows on your face when 100 different cameras and 100 different flashes are on your face.”
Others praised Jenner’s natural aging process, with one fan remarking, “I don’t see any problems here,” and commending her for “ageing like a fine wine.” Another comment brought attention to the gendered double standards prevalent in society, pointing out, “Everyone that is calling Kylie Jenner out for having skin that they deem as ‘old for her age’ is proof that women cannot age without being discarded and labeled as expired. We do not hold these same beliefs to men and it is incredibly frustrating to see.”
The incident underscores the intense scrutiny faced by women in the public eye and the need for a more empathetic and realistic approach to public figures’ appearances.
