Jennifer Lawrence, Before and After

The beauty evolution of the ‘Hunger Games’ star.

Some celebrities seem so down to earth, you’d never dream of them altering their appearance with plastic surgery or cosmetic injections. Case in point: Jennifer Lawrence. 

Ever since the Hunger Games star became a household name in the early 2010s, she has masterfully cultivated a “normal,” “girl next door” persona. She gets drunk, she’s obsessed with junk food, and she buys her furniture from Ikea.1,2,3 She’s just like us!

Or is she? During her 2023 press tour for No Hard Feelings, fans insisted that her face had changed, and speculated that she’d recently gone under the knife. However, if you take a closer look at her beauty evolution over the years, the changes may have started long before that.

See for yourself—here’s how 33-year-old Jennifer has transformed from 2007 until now.

The Teenage Years: 2007-2009

In this first photo, she was just 17 years old. And yes, I checked. This is Jennifer Lawrence, even though it barely resembles her today (which will be a recurring theme over the next few pics!). Back then, she rocked a spray tan with bleached-blonde hair and over-plucked brows... plus what appears to be a wider nose and more heavy-lidded eyes.

Her hair looked more natural the following year, when her own dark blonde colour started to grow in. She also started wearing the smoky eye makeup that she has remained fond of to this day. Seeing her features front-on, both her nose and upper eyelids seem different from how they look now.

There’s the JLaw we know—there’s no mistaking that smile! Again, notice how her nose is ever-so-slightly more prominent in relation to her other features, which isn’t the case anymore. We can also see that she always did have straight, even teeth. But we’d never catch her in this daisy headband these days!
