As the 98th Academy Awards concluded in splendor, a phenomenon dubbed the "New Hollywood Face," in which Hollywood top stars' faces appear strikingly similar as if by agreement, is drawing attention among experts.
According to the Daily Mail on the 17th (local time), plastic surgeons and beauty experts analyzed that a new standard of beauty has been established, citing Anne Hathaway (43), Nicole Kidman (58), and Gwyneth Paltrow (53), who graced this year's red carpet.
While past Hollywood stars made noticeable changes through obvious plastic surgery, the recent trend seeks a natural harmony that looks "done but not done," known as tweakments.
Dr. Julian de Silva, a specialist, cited three common features. ▲Bright, lively eyes: naturally open eyes without sagging and a slightly lifted eyebrow line. ▲Firm midface and volume: a smooth front cheek completed through collagen regeneration, not an overly filled look. ▲Sharp jawline: a sculpted, well-defined facial contour achieved through mini lifting or skin tightening.
Aesthetic expert Gizem Seymenoglu said, "The line running from under the eyes to the cheekbones is smoothly connected for all three actresses," noting, "It is the secret to maintaining a camera-ready condition that never looks unflattering even under high-definition cameras and lighting."
Experts agreed that excessive corrections that used to make people look like they were "addicted to plastic surgery" are now outdated. Rather than completely erasing forehead or glabellar lines like Anne Hathaway or Nicole Kidman, the key is to place small amounts of Botox so natural movement is possible when making expressions.
Also, rather than simply pulling the skin, combining procedures such as laser or microneedling that improve the skin's own quality to achieve "skin that defies aging" is the completion of the New Hollywood Face.
Not every star follows this trend. Experts analyzed that Heidi Klum appears somewhat puffier or less structured than before, while Isla Fisher is a representative case of choosing "natural aging," exposing forehead wrinkles and eye-area lines as they are.
In the end, the secret to Hollywood goddesses' preservative-like beauty was not dramatic transformation but delicate techniques of long-term, fine maintenance that do not disrupt the harmony of facial structure.
