Hollywood has long thrived on illusion. With the help of carefully curated images, celebrities often reappear looking like distant versions of their former selves, all while firmly denying any cosmetic intervention. The 'woke up like this' era may be over, but its residue still lingers. That is why Jennifer Lawrence has always felt like an outlier. More than anything, one trait has remained constant throughout her career: her honesty.

That honesty was front and center when Lawrence recently addressed one of Hollywood’s most persistent questions, whether she has gone under the knife.

In an interview with The New Yorker published on October 27, 2025, the Oscar winner, 35, spoke plainly about cosmetic work. Jennifer Lawrence confirmed that she does get Botox but does not use fillers, acknowledging that injectables in her forehead can affect her ability to emote on screen. Despite online buzz about her appearance, she firmly denied having a facelift.

“But, believe me, I’m gonna!” she added, in classic Lawrence fashion.

The Die My Love actress also shared that she has no moral objection to plastic surgery and has considered a breast augmentation, with The New Yorker noting she had surgery in mind for November.

In the same conversation, Lawrence opened up about how motherhood has changed her body and perspective. Reflecting on filming a n--- scene in No Hard Feelings in 2023, she said, “Everything bounced back, pretty much, after the first one,” referring to her son Cy, born in February 2022.

“Second one, nothing bounced back,” she added of her younger son, born in April. She admitted that if her life were not so public, she probably would not be hustling to the appointment in the same way, but she would still consider a b— job.

Despite Jennifer Lawrence’s 2026 Golden Globes appearance turning heads, she has lived through the moment when praise stopped and the phrase 'not pretty enough' entered the room.

Hollywood’s standards can be especially unforgiving to women as they age, and Jennifer Lawrence has felt that sting firsthand. During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast on January 12, she reflected on losing out on the role of Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

“Well, he did [want to cast me], and then everybody was like, ‘She’s not pretty enough to play Sharon Tate,’” Lawrence said.

While host Josh Horowitz questioned that version of events, Lawrence replied, “I’m pretty sure it is true… or the internet just went out of their way to call me ugly.” 

The role ultimately went to Margot Robbie, a choice publicly supported at the time by Sharon Tate’s sister, Debra Tate.

Looking ahead to 2026, Jennifer Lawrence’s schedule is anchored by two major ventures. She is confirmed to reprise her iconic role as Katniss Everdeen (alongside Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark) in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, a franchise prequel scheduled for theatrical release on November 20, 2026.

Additionally, Lawrence and Emma Stone are producing a feature film centered on the beloved Muppets character Miss Piggy, developed with writer Cole Escola for Disney.

In an industry built on illusion, Jennifer Lawrence’s refusal to pretend may be her most radical act yet.
