(2,721 posts)They did so much photoshopping to try and make this. This is, so far, the scariest picture of 2022.

She looks almost, but not quite, human. And very ugly.

(82,386 posts)They hire high price PR firms to make all the arrangements for them.
They even pay for the photographers, stylists, etc for the article.
Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump, did the same thing a couple of months ago.
The photos were atrocious.

Irish_Dem
(82,386 posts)You can tell that she hired her own stylists and photographers.
She either hired on the cheap or ignored advice.
No reputable professionals would allow such crap to be published.

(69,649 posts)She looks like some kind of horror creature.
Irish_Dem
(82,386 posts)Overly pretentious room.
Very unflattering dress, makes her look awful.
Color is terrible.
The dress train from hell, she looks like she is flying around on a broom.
The trend is for rich women, who crave attention, fame and acceptance, to insist on promoting their brain storm ideas.
They are not smart or talented, and have no fashion sense.
But they insist on control of the photo shoot and this is what you get.

(11,450 posts)Maybe she's trying to emulate her wanna-be MIL: vacant expression, clothes that don't quite fit, airbrushed beyond recognition as human

Another one that needs to lay off the plastic surgery. Egads!

(61,102 posts)She was naturally pretty years ago when with she was with Newsom. Now, she looks like plastic surgery gone wrong in most pictures. This one less than most.

i will take her on for an episode of Jeopardy ANY DAY, and i'll mop the FLOOR with her.
she's an absolute idiot, other than her ability to grift

(58,785 posts)at how I specifically notice and dislike her face. She's always been beautiful, but it's kind of as if what she's become during her Fox and tRump years is showing on her face.
Of course she has intelligence, and I'm sure she can do grace and charm very well whenever she chooses. She was once married to Gavin Newsome!

Hekate
(100,133 posts)They were both quite physically attractive, judging by old photos. I neither know nor care why they divorced, but he continued to rise in the political world and achieve some admirable and difficult things while she seems to have made some errors in judgment, leading her to Trump World.
She is over 50 now, iirc, and it take a lot of work at that age to maintain the illusion of youth. Older women have to tread very carefully in the surgeons chambers if they are not to become grotesque. She okay so far.

(53,404 posts)1. Hair. This isn't actually all that bad. Whoever did her highlights has some skill, although not a lot of pride to have to be working for the Trumps. She'll be bathing in lukewarm water for the next three months to hold that color, but sometimes ya gotta suffer for beauty, you know?
2. Makeup. Not a fan of this particular face. WAY too much eyeliner and that lipstick has got to go. Whatever happened to a simple, classic red lip? She could definitely pull it off. Needs contour that they didn't use on her. Notice how her face kinda bulges out below the cheekbones? If you know what you're doing with contour shadow, you can pull that right in. About the only actual good thing in this makeup are the false eyelashes they used on her.
3. Jewelry. The earrings are nice. The ring, which someone probably paid huge money for, looks like it's got a plastic stone in it. And what the hell is that thing around her neck?
4. Her nails. Stiletto nails are a nice look, but the weird chrome-over-shell pink color she is wearing only works on a very few people - and she's not one of them. A deep red would have been really nice.
5. The Dress: Looks like a popcorn ceiling painted silver. She would have looked better if the stylist team would have went back to the drag queen fabric stores in the Castro - if you sew, I highly recommend them - bought the bolt of purple fabric Lara Trump returned after wearing it in that weird photo shoot a few months ago, and wrapped it around her. No sewing necessary, just wind a few turns of cloth around her torso, pin the back together and call it a day. OR...she could have worn the dress she went to Tiffany Trump's wedding in. The politics and ethics of showing up at a pastel-themed wedding in a black dress aside, it was a nice outfit.
6. The Background: I can't tell what the hell this thing is supposed to be. Is it a part for the iron maiden Merrick Garland is going to put Donald Trump in after the investigation is over?
7. The tagline: If you have to proclaim you are a "luxury magazine," you probably aren't one.
8. Price of the book: I find it a bit strange that a magazine only sold in Palm Beach would need the "USD" beside the price. Not all that many people would want to buy a magazine in Florida using Canadian or Australian dollars.
9. Text above her name: Right now, the City Council of Palm Beach is filing a false-advertising suit against Metropolitan Magazine.
On a scale of 1 to 100, I'd put this effort down as a 22. It is in focus, after all.
