Jennifer Aniston turned out at the Emmy FYC event for her acclaimed drama, The Morning Show, this past weekend, and her look was undeniably captivating.
But while many agreed that the actress looked nothing short of stunning in a sleeveless, deep red dress, complemented by a matching ruby pendant, there were other question marks that arose regarding her appearance. Namely, what sort of plastic surgery (if any) she has undergone in recent months.
The 55-year-old plays TV anchor Alex Levy on The Morning Show, and the Apple TV+ series has proven wildly popular.
The show’s success – coupled, of course, with Aniston’s iconic past as a star on arguably the most successful sitcom of all time, Friends – has seen her reputation surge in recent years. Aniston has never really experienced a ‘dip’ in her career, but her stock has certainly enjoyed a revival since The Morning Show first aired.
Indeed, for anyone old enough to have lived through the era of Friends, it’s almost strange to accept that in five years time, Aniston will be 60 years old.

Or can they?
Well, it’s certainly not something the majority of them readily embrace. Quite the opposite in fact: those with inexhaustible bank accounts tend to doggedly fight the aging process – at least in so far as appearance is concerned – undergoing operations and treatments in a bid to keep themselves looking as young as possible.
Incidentally, Jennifer Aniston was reportedly seen leaving a well-known plastic surgery clinic in Connecticut only a few months ago, prompting speculation that she had gone under the knife.
The clinic in question, The Retreat At Split Rock, is said to specialize in expert upper and lower face lifts, costing around $50,000 to $100,000 each, as well as brow and eye lifts that cost around $30,000 each.
It hasn’t been officially confirmed whether or not Aniston underwent treatment – let’s be honest, which celebrities are completely open and honest about this sort of stuff? – but there are clearly a fair few people online who suspect her look isn’t one hundred percent natural.
Following her appearance at the aforementioned Emmy FYC in New York on Sunday, certain individuals couldn’t resist themselves in pointing out that she looked different to usual.
“What has she done to her face?’’ one wrote in the comments section of a Daily Mail article.
A second added: “Jen is desperately trying to hold on to her old Friends looks. It can’t happen, she is much older now […]’’
“Her face looks weird because of all the work she has had done. She would have looked better with less,” opined a third.
Nataliya Kuznetsova: Redefining What It Means to Be a Female Bodybuilder
Keeping our bodies in shape is essential for both physical and mental well-being. For many, this involves daily activities like walking or light exercise. However, for 33-year-old Nataliya Kuznetsova, staying in shape is an entirely different story.
Nataliya, a professional Russian bodybuilder, holds world records in arm lifting, bench pressing, and deadlifting. Her impressive physique is a testament to her dedication and hard work, making it easy to see how she earned her titles.
While opinions on appearance differ, it’s crucial to respect individual choices. People should never be ridiculed for how they look. How someone chooses to present themselves is their personal decision, and it’s worth celebrating individuality and diversity.
A Bodybuilder’s Journey
Born Nataliya Trukhina on July 1, 1991, in Chita, southeast Siberia, Russia, Nataliya grew up as an active child with a passion for physical training and combat sports. At 14, she began her bodybuilding journey, hitting the gym daily under the guidance of her coach, Alexei Ivanov. Initially, her goal wasn’t to build massive muscles but to gain strength.
Despite her modest beginnings at 80 pounds, Nataliya rapidly progressed. By the time she was 17, she weighed 150 pounds and could bench press 220 pounds. Over the years, her dedication paid off as she won numerous championships and set multiple records.
Championship Success
Nataliya’s achievements include winning the 2014 Cup of Eurasia and the 2015 Eastern Europe Cup (GPA). She is nicknamed the “World’s Most Muscular Woman” and holds records for bench pressing over 374 pounds and deadlifting 530 pounds. Standing at 5’7” and weighing over 220 pounds during the offseason, she is a remarkable force in the world of powerlifting.
Nataliya’s lifestyle revolves around constant improvement and strength-building. She shares her belief in perseverance on her social media, writing:
“It’s not about being perfect – it’s about showing up, putting in the effort, and getting the work done to achieve your vision. Every day is another opportunity to move forward.”
Beyond Bodybuilding
In 2013, Nataliya graduated from the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture. She also performed in a Bolshoi Theatre production of Manon Lescaut. Today, she lives in Moscow with her husband, bodybuilder Vladislav Kuznetsov. The couple, who met online in 2009, married in 2015 and continue to support each other in their pursuits.
Nataliya’s journey wasn’t always easy. Early in her career, she struggled financially and often had to fund her training and competitions herself. However, her growing popularity on social media changed her fortunes. Today, she works with sponsors like Oxytropin and RPS Nutrition and has over one million Instagram followers.
Breaking Stereotypes
Despite her fame, Nataliya faces criticism and hurtful comments about her appearance. She remains unfazed, stating:
“The classical standards and norms are long gone. Even the modeling industry is very different now. My best advisor is a mirror.”
Nataliya also appreciates her fans’ support, especially the compliments and encouragement she receives from followers worldwide.
A Bright Future
In 2017, Nataliya briefly stepped away from powerlifting but returned to compete in Moscow just a year and a half later. She has since focused on coaching, aiming to help others reach their potential.
Nataliya Kuznetsova’s journey is a story of perseverance, passion, and breaking barriers. Whether you agree with her choices or not, her dedication to pursuing her dreams is undeniably inspiring.
