TIL about the “Mar-a-Lago face” a bold plastic surgery and fashion trend popular among American conservative and Republican circles. It’s characterized by “detectable” facial modifications, including exaggerated Botox, visible fillers, extreme tanning, fake eyelashes, dark smokey eyes, and full lips. The look is often seen as a status symbol and a way to signal political allegiance, inspired by figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle. The trend is so distinctive that it’s been described as a “visual shorthand” for wealth, power, and identity within these groups.
