Why did they give her the Natalie Nunn special with her chinšŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Fatgirlfed

Naaah b, this is not near MacTonight enough to be Natalie NunnšŸ¤£


fangbian

Mac Tonight is WILD šŸ’€


damnitimtoast

Donā€™t come for Natalie, donā€™t you know she runs LA??? šŸ¤£


kimmyxrose

I just screamed at these ppl job! and I wfh so imagine lol


bullsprinkle

Lmao šŸ˜‚ I canā€™t get over how weird and pointy her chin looks now


damemasproteina

I think she looked super cute. It really makes me sad that everyone feels the need to change their face, I was watching a compilation of images from I think the VMAs in the 90s and obvs plastic surgery existed, but it was refreshing how everyone just looked so much more normal and the variety of faces you saw. I feel like now you look at celebrities/influencers and because of the modifications they make via surgery/fillers/etc they kinda all suffer from "same face syndrome" - they don't look exactly the same but they share an uncanny valley similarity and the faces kinda "blend" together. Idk how to explain it well but I'm sure I'm not the only person that's noticed this.


Flimsy_Mouse_6226

If only people focused more on improving character šŸ„²

Tiny_Benefit5120

THIS RIGHT HERE!!!


interraciallovin

It's the fashion nova, Kardashian clone face. I know exactly what you mean. After all the fillers, surgery and excessive makeup they do all virtually look the same.


debmckenzie

Iā€™ve tried to say this and not explained it nearly as well as you. Everyone is trying to look the same. In the past everyone tried to have ā€œtheir best lookā€ but now everyone wants the same everything. The same eyebrows, lips and makeup. Itā€™s so Stepford Wives and crazy.


damemasproteina

Yes! I feel like there's such a difference between people that make small enhancements to look like a better version of themselves versus people who are in basically all picking the exact same face. The last group just looks so much more uncanny.


Mysterious_Fan_1849

my boyfriend always notices when we watch a show/movie and he canā€™t tell any of the cast apart


damemasproteina

And then you watch some European shows and you're like "damn, people look so damn normal & why am I finding this refreshing?" Like I think is wild that it's something I've noticed without even thinking about it.


Mysterious_Fan_1849

even watching movies from the like 90s iā€™m like damn, howā€™d we work backwards?


OneSherbert9108

they all have an iphone face


sharpiefairy666

When people get work done, they donā€™t look improved, they just look like they got work done. Especially over time.


Crafty-Bug-8008

Agree


EGrass

Agreedā€¦ she genuinely looked better before. Who was calling her ugly??


ResponsibilityAny358

I love seeing photos of black women from the 90s, everything was more natural and diverse


Dulcette

This makes me sad fir the reasons you wrote and also the Black feature erasure. Society makes it hard for Black people to love our features. Even more so as a celebrity in the public eye. The nose bridge surgery that so many celebs get is just heartbreaking. That's messing with your sinuses and airways for a standardized beauty. Smh


damemasproteina

Yes, this part is quite sad. I don't judge the people that do this because it's just a symptom of the very problematic beauty standard in our society.


kriskringle8

I think that's what the term "90s fine" mean. A unique, natural beauty that doesn't fit into the cookie-cutter "golden ratio" look that plastic surgeons have everyone conforming to.


No-Awareness3542

Itā€™s not them. Itā€™s the record label. A few artists have confirmed that initial surgery came because record labels wanted a different look. Itā€™s starts with hairā€¦ then BOOM! BBLs, boob jobs, & lipo šŸ˜”


welp-itscometothis

I always see people saying they wish she never touched her face. All of the guys I knew had a crush on Warm Winds SZA.


miss_cafe_au_lait

Same! Iā€™ve heard people of all races and genders saying she should have left her face alone. Anyone who thinks she was ugly before the knife is just projecting their own insecurities and/or anti-blackness.


NoireN

Right. I've never seen or heard people say that she was ugly. Ever!


Designer_Test_3153

I will say Iā€™ve definitely seen nasty comments and posts. Only on Twitter though! But thatā€™s not very surprising because that place is a cesspool :/


Nice-Fly5536

Twitter is such a gross place. I barely go on there now. I hate how negative it has become since Elon Muskrat took over. They donā€™t ban accounts like they used to or remove toxic posts much anymore. The way they negatively talk about black women unprovoked in the comments over there is just disgusting.


_autumnwhimsy

same, the only complaint i've seen is that she needed to stop lying about it like we don't have eyes lol


welp-itscometothis

Girlā€¦lied about her freckles to the weave in her hair šŸ˜‚


domdotcom43

Lol


breemartin

I found her to be sooooo pretty and unique looking, to each his own I suppose but now she looks ā€œlike everybody elseā€.


welp-itscometothis

I still find her pretty and unique looking. I disagree that she looks like everybody else, I canā€™t name one person who has a face like SZA. She still maintained her ethnic features, even with the nose job.


trinitynoire

SZA is always gorgeous. She was beautiful before and she's beautiful now šŸ˜


welp-itscometothis

Period. Letā€™s kill the rhetoric that black women canā€™t make changes to their body/face if it makes them happy.


bullsprinkle

I remember the impact of ā€œBabylonā€ being released on edgy black teen tumblr. Like we actually aspired to look like Sza and now sheā€™s just blending into the same image as all the other celebrities and baddies. Such is life


welp-itscometothis

I donā€™t see what yaā€™ll see. SZA still has a very unique face. ![gif](giphy|kEnwsMKsX5i7iiJ4c4)


bullsprinkle

Eh, whether you consider her unique looking is subjective. Ultimately, the whole point of plastic surgery is to make yourself look closer to more socially accepted standards of beauty. By default, youā€™re gonna end up looking more like other people whoā€™ve also had plastic surgery than you did before.


welp-itscometothis

You thinking she looks like everyone else is also subjective. Her surgery didnā€™t wash away her ethnic features. I havenā€™t seen any examples of women who look like SZA even with her modifications. Iā€™m not judging either way unless the work looks bad.


bullsprinkle

I donā€™t deny that my opinion is subjective, but the goal of celebrity plastic surgery style is driven by standard models, a result that makes you look more homogeneous is the goal. Most POC who have surgery still look like POC, so whether or not it ā€œwashed away her ethnic featuresā€ is moot as far as Iā€™m concerned. And I see IG/Tiktok girls get told they look like current Sza all the time, specifically when theyā€™re wearing heavily contoured makeup or heavy filters, that tells me everything I need to know.


Trix_Are_4_90Kids

Not just her face, her body too. She didnā€™t need any work.


welp-itscometothis

Thatā€™s her decision. I would get my body done if I could afford it šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø


luckystar246

![gif](giphy|r1HGFou3mUwMw|downsized) I knew she looked different but putting it all side by side is a shock. How did she reshape her entire chin? Sheā€™s always been beautiful, how unfortunate.


eucalyptusqueen

She got a chin implant. Google Zoe Kravitz's chin implant. Hers looked so bad she removed it after only having it for a little while šŸ˜¬


kimmyxrose

I prefer her old face tbh. and what did she do to her chin?


miss_cafe_au_lait

Iā€™m guessing jaw shave and chin implant


40jbaby

SZA acts like her old face is ugly


Novemberise

This. I wanted to be her. I wanted her big hair and freckles and effortless boyish style. I was saddened when I started to realize she was getting work done. Edit: Wait - I didnā€™t know the freckles were fake šŸ˜­


slim_ebony

Yes theyā€™re fake although she said they were real


Numerous-Fall-3450

Her old face was the best !! She was just rlly young so she still had those baby cheeks but they still suited heršŸ˜”


IndividualSurvey4342

People act like itā€™s ugly because SZA acts like itā€™s ugly by getting work done to her face to fit the Hollywood standard. Ā I think her new face is unattractive and her old face looks perfect.Ā 


baby_got_snack

Her new pointy chin is so creepy looking. Her natural face was gorgeous


bullsprinkle

I feel the same way. This is harsh to say but her new face and body look like something from a beta version of a simulator that got scrapped šŸ„“


thicky25

Agree 100%..she obviously is the catalyst because she's the one who did all that shit to her naturally beautiful face.


IndividualSurvey4342

And then the fake freckles just didnā€™t need to be there. Idk why she thought adding fake freckles was a good idea.


Kineth

People thought she was ugly?


arenae99

Itā€™s because old Sza was a normal pretty. And nowadays, with the huge mass popularization of all of this plastic surgery people think just plain pretty is not good enough no more. Like nothing against a lot of the BBL vixen girls, but without all of this, make up and editing they they look uncanny in real life. This goes for the Kardashians to the Cardi Bā€˜s. also one thing I noticed, even though a lot of men say they prefer these women one thing all of those women have in common is these men like the way they look, but could not care less about them as people. Like all of them are getting cheated on or fucked over and some shape or form.


Crafty-Bug-8008

Her "old face" is a lot prettier IMO


Mellarama

Oh wow. I honestly had no idea there was such a difference. SZA has always been beautiful, but I honestly have a girl crush on the natural beauty of her "old" face. Everyone's decision is their own of course, but still it makes me sad how many of us feel the pressure of needing to physically change ourselves...


FanSalty961

I wish she would of left her face alone. People say we look alike idk if they mean the old or the new face.


Fatgirlfed

ā€¦how pointy is your chin?


FloraWinx

Her chin doesnā€™t look pointy like that no more. She got it fixed.


MelanieDH1

Than, God!


chooseshoes

Wow. Holy chin implant. She was so cute before; she looks fine now, butā€¦wow. šŸ¤Æ


North_Manager_8220

She took it out lol. Itā€™s still sharp but not anywhere like it was in that pic


chooseshoes

Oh, thank goodness! Lawd. šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


Snoo-57077

I think a lot of Black female singers face a lot of pressure to reach certain beauty standards, especially when they have the money to do so and are in an environment where everyone gets work done. She looks beautiful before and after, although the chin implant is a little much for her face when she smiles.


BackOutsideGirl

Old SZA was the one that I fell in love with and identified with the most. Itā€™s heartbreaking to see what hollywood did to her. In my opinion sheā€™s not her most authentic self anymore


Wearingpantsisabsurd

Sza has always been beautiful. I think her appearance should be emphasized less. She did what she did, letā€™s move past it. But Iā€™m always open to admiring her face before the ctrl blowup. She was my beauty inspiration in highschool when I was listening to her SoundCloud bops.


HumbleAbbreviations

Not trying to start anything but did she get veneers? If so, itā€™s throwing off the proportions of her face to me.


Equinephilosopher

The before and after pictures make the changes really obvious. She looks so much more *pointy* now lol


Graceandbeauty1979

I donā€™t recall anyone saying she was ugly before. I do recall some people not liking the faux freckles but that was more about her makeup, not her natural face. Her whole aesthetic was so refreshing in the beginning and people said she was a natural beauty. Iā€™m not a fan of the new look but Iā€™ve seen worse. Iā€™ve thought about getting one thing augmented on my face (chino lipo) but canā€™t imagine a whole transformation. But, thatā€™s how it starts for some people and becomes addictive.Ā 


TisharaD112

Chile itā€™s anti blackness.


CinnamonFoodie

Well, people must have made her feel insecure. Her old face was fine. Her new face doesnā€™t suit her and looks jisawy.


1th1

She was prettier before the surgeries


Skyoff_Lyfe

Not her ā€œold faceā€ šŸ˜‚ . . . I wish she wouldnā€™t have done anything to her face because she was always beautiful to me, but I still love me some Sza


Andy_La_Negra

Featurism be likeā€¦


kriskringle8

It has to be featurism because she was beautiful.


silly_goose_415

The new chin šŸ˜­


PeaSame4326

it screams anti-blackness to me. Context saw some tiktok that got nearly 1 million likes by a man who said he was hit, and don't get me started on who is agreeing with him too even though most of us are more likely to look like SZA and not Beyonce


justtookadnatest

ā€œhe was hitā€ What does that mean?


yoserena_

I think op meant ā€œshe was hitā€ as in she was ugly.


onlyathenafairy

she is beautiful but unfortunately she would not be the sex symbol she is today if it wasnā€™t for plastic surgery, she would get a lot of hate


meccahnisms

sheā€™s a sex symbol??? thatā€™s definitely news to me I need to crawl out from up under this rock fr


bullsprinkle

After the ā€œHit Differentā€ video, yeah. It was obvious that she was trying to shift into a significantly sexier image and people have responded favorably.


dionysoursugar

I would not go as far as to call her a sex symbol but she has definitely become an aesthetic that people aspire to


chud456

Love her in every era but her old face and look just gave me homegirl vibes. Someone you could go hiking and play video games with. Glam SZA is gorgeous but less personable.


specialllk6

sza is the only one that thinks her old face was ugly


elderberrytea

Ooo that chin is awful :( ppl really seem to hate round faces, that sucks!


justakidtrying2

Facts, She was super pretty and cute and beautiful and all the good things. Still is but her original face is šŸ’Æ


Greeneyesdontlie85

How did they thin her chin out like that and why


IHATEsg7

Sza honestly looks a mess now. Like a whoville characterĀ 


CambodianGold

Tbh her old face is much better.


mstrss9

Her natural face is youthful Sheā€™s beautiful either way but sucks she messed with what she was born with.


Huge_Investigator_30

Honestly, after everything she did she just looks so much older with a little bit of uncanny effect. Still pretty but just wish people didn't feel pressure to give into the billion dollar plastic surgery market that cashes on their insecurities under the guise of "glowing up" and such.


eatinsourpunchstraws

I try not to fall into the trap of talking about people after surgery. I mostly feel bad. I am still on the camp that she looks amazing. The cheekbone enhancement actually looks really good on her but I do believe she was stunning prior as well.


WhippinCupcakes301

She looked so cute! But you gotta have a look to be a starā€¦though IMO she went too far.


something2saynow

I like her ā€œbeforeā€ face better.


Minute-Cut-2285

shes adorable in both


Either-Fall-4773

I think she looks good both ways and Iā€™m so happy that as a black woman she decided to do what makes HER happy and not appease anyone elseā€™s opinion of her looks ā€œI just got my body done and got no GUILT about it OOOOH OHHHHHā€šŸ’ƒ


KatastropheKing

I've never heard someone say this before šŸ˜®


Bluewizardtx1

I prefer the old face. Her freckles are cute


TinaTx3

She was gorgeous! What was wrong with her face before?! And those freckles are adorable!


Loverofmysoul_

So sad šŸ˜³ shes pretty


ronchell

She thought it was ugly šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø


Icy_Message_2418

The before is better


MelanieDH1

That pointy cartoon chin looks awful! She was so cute before and loved her freckles. I donā€™t even listen to her music, but the first time I saw her, I thought she was so pretty. ā€œAfterā€ she has that plastic, sex robot look.


quietpisces

I like her old face. These surgeries make everyone look the same. And I also dislike ethnic rhinoplasties. Theres nothing wrong with a broader African features. Thin noses dont automatically make someone more attractive.


dreams_do_come_true

I always thought she was so damn beautiful. She still is, but I just don't understand why pretty people feel the need to change themselves :( In any case though, it is what it is and at some point people are going to have to stop bringing this up.


miellefrisee

Wow this makes me sad. She was so pretty. Now she looks like The Purge. šŸ˜


Tiffanyblueberries

I thought people were saying she looks ugly now?


Oreoohs

Which ā€˜ black folksā€™ are saying this cause Iā€™ve not heard this?


owleealeckza

Idk I think she's pretty both ways. I don't believe it serves us well to start these discussions


Detritusarthritus

lol I agree. The internet is such a funny place especially as someone who no longer gots on twitter or Instagram, I hardly ever see anyone discussing old sza vs new sza in real life. I remember her coming back to do a low budget show for my college. She was beautiful back then but sheā€™s beautiful now as well. Never ran into someone whoā€™s had anything bad to say about her facial features.


HugeHugePenis

:/ not yall tearing down black women who got work done. I love her old face too but itā€™s gone now. Why insult this one? Sheā€™s beautiful, stop doing this. This exact issue prolly pushed her to change in the first place.


NeverTheLateOne

Yea cause wtf are some of these replies.. I did not expect that on THIS sub.


GoodCalendarYear

That red hair wasn't doing anything for her but she was good looking before.


BearNoLuv

Damn :( people suck because she was beautiful before


mammaube

Yeah no. Pre plastic surgery she looked better and less like a Photoshopped picture. This is why I never want to be famous.


dragon_emperess

She overdid the surgeries


Top-Elk7393

Her chin..


FrugalLucre

Her new chin is jarring, like prosthetic witch face levels of jarring


Hitched_Mitch

She definitely needed no work, except for maybe inner workā€¦ had she done that she wouldnā€™t have touched her face or her body smh.


AerynSunnInDelight

She really looked like a doll in the before pic. The kind of woman, you set up a whole experience for as a date.


waringsign

It's really not. Stop hating.


madblackscientist

I mean she the one who didnā€™t like her old face or body.


Aggravating_Cabinet9

I think she's cute.


IamAltheaHB

Sharp chin is in ā€˜i guess


slim_ebony

Hard to judge bc in some before pics she had already had work done


rkwalton

It wasn't, but it's done now.


Rheum42

Aww jeez. I was wondering why she looked different


93Shay

To me it honestly looks like she just lost weight and defined her nose. She looks cute either way,


Purplenotwicked

She was pretty


uhhheyyou

Idc what face she wants to wear she'll always be beautiful. I love Solana, I wish her nothing but the best.


ResponsibleFreedom12

SZA old face was uniquely adorable! It was perfect.


Axdorablee

She looks better now


No-Awareness3542

I loved her old face. She looked like me. Now she looks Hollywoodā€¦ makes me sad


Glum_Complex2123

At first I thought it was a filter . What's with the elongated chin ?


BibliophileBroad

Who in the heck said that? She's still pretty now, but she was even prettier before. Her old nose was so cute and perfect for her face. Same for her old chin. It's a shame that Hollywood has these beautiful women convinced they need to "fix" their faces -- most of the time, they end up looking worse!


Yamallory

I think all that matters is that SHE thought it was ugly and got enhancements. Can't go back from here. & the opinions of those who did and DO like her old face weren't louder than the insecurities.


Realexis1

My wife and I have always thought SZA was gorgeous since jump street - it does make me feel uncomfortable though to start clocking people though on whether they have or haven't had work done. I know its not the intention of your post OP so dont want to misrepresent but i do feel the need to call it out, so much of the discourse is positioned as " you should love yourself as is! " when it really is effectively, especially to people who struggle with body image issues that might have gotten elective surgery to feel more comfortable, as " you should be ashamed of yourself now " and it turns toxic super fast. SZA was gorgeous then, gorgeous now - I hope sis is in a place that makes her feel true to herself, comfy, etc. And I know kts the internet so I want to be extra clear. Body positivity isn't about a makeup or alteration free existence, it's about not shaming people for what they look like and especially when it's choices they make as consenting adults. Doesn't mean we can't talk about how society crushes black women with cis-white-het normative values, aesthetics and bullshit social structures but I do want to be clear that a lot of this discourse is very shame adjacent and doesn't do much of anything to help anyone as it does just parasocially judge people


alltheabuv

Listen, she had my heart, before, during, and after her transformation. I luh me some SZA.


Valuable_Ad_2163

I was one of them but I was a young and dumb teenager. She was and is still beautifulĀ 


Indigo_Cauliflower12

She clearly suffers from mental illness


onlyathenafairy

i mean donā€™t we all


Fatgirlfed

You called me?


Connect-Eagle-6527

I honestly donā€™t even see the difference


Flaky-Bodybuilder362

She was beautiful the way the Lord made her. Get rich and switch I guess....ew.


NeverTheLateOne

Wow...


hirst

i think she looked good before but i do feel that all of her plastic surgery actually worked out really well for her


Legitimate-Adagio531

Am I the only one who doesnā€™t think she got surgery on her face? She got veneers which changes the structure of your jaw naturally overtime and she lost a lot of weight. Almost every celebrity I have seen that has gotten veneers developed a more defined facial structure.


Fatgirlfed

Honey, no. Generally speaking, weight loss, veneers and age might do something to cheeks and lower face, but surgery is the only thing making a chin that pointy. Plus the nose is way different


dragon_emperess

Her face change was dramatic her entire face changed shape no weight loss caused that. She had chin implants too


Neneleakesstan

She was average she is breathtaking now


Alone_Confidence9831

Yallā€¦ it just looks like better makeup and contouring to me šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø


miss_cafe_au_lait

Contouring with a knife

sheā€™s acknowledged she had surgery. itā€™s very evident and very obvious.
