Can You Tell? Before and After Celebrity Nose Jobs

January 13th, 2012 - By jaebi

In the 80′s, professing nose job aspirations induced ridicule, shame and accusations of self-hate. Commercial rappers were sell-outs, “stay black” was the movement and little black boys and girls were advised to take pride in their broad-shaped noses, and disregard false standards of beauty.

"Taped Up Nose Black Girl"

The nose job debate made its way into conversation anywhere black people congregated and became the focus of several day time talk shows. Comparatively, 21st century black folks, still rocking the noses of their parents, still marginalized by mainstream standards of beauty, are more nip-tucked than ever.

There’s far less scrutiny awaiting those that go willing to undergo rhinoplasty. In Hollywood, it’s more of a challenge to find a starlet who hasn’t reshaped her nose.

But the underlying motivation for celebs going under the knife are no where as puzzling as figuring out whether a procedure actually happened. These women are pretty before and after the surgery and sometimes the change is so slight, it’s like nothing ever happened. At least that’s what many are hoping. That’s where side by side photos come in.

Here’s a rundown of your favorite African-American starlets who ditched her natural nose for a Hollywood honker as soon as she got the chance to blow.

Can you tell the difference?

    Well It looks like a lot of contouring with make up to me. I doesn’t look like most of ladies had a nose job. Make up does wonders!

  • ???????

    o dear God I thought this website was a bit more ‘upscale’ catering to a mature audience that discussed issues and not people….I’m moving on, cheers!!

  • Shlyfields

    everyone nose job looks good. it doesn’t look like ashanti had one and NeNe should’ve gotten her eye corrected as well

  • Ifuaskme2

    I don’t know why NeNe bothered. RiRi. Nah. Kelly’s looks worse after than before. But Yeah most had it and NO its not makeup

  • ImJustSayn

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with a little nip tuck as long as it still looks natural. If that’s what you need to make your self feel good about you then do it. I know one thing, if I ever come across the money to get my nose done I am definitely doing it!!!  I have always been self concious about it, got teased in grammar school because of it and even my own siblings use to tease me about it from time to time. I am not going to lie these events affected my adult hood and I am still very self concious about my nose and when I get the opportunity to change it I will most certainly will!!!!

  • Lisibaby

    ok rihannas looks excatly the same. Are u kidding me??

  • Jazmino64

    No, i don’t see any changes, and if Halle has admitted then ok, but the rest are from totally different angles.

  • cleva

    Halle’s nose looked the same.   I did see a difference in Bey’s nose.

    Some of these are just shading and some did get work done like Amerie.

  • Edwardstiara92

    It’s called contouring makeup

    the Beyonce pic is a load of BULL first off there’s so many things that can make your nose look smaller than it is!!! Make-up, angle of your head, and PHOTOSHOP!!! DUH!!! STFU Madam Noire!

      So, even with her nose being incongruously narrower and pointier in the promo pictures for her 4 album (thus making her eyes appear larger) you’re still certain she hasn’t had a nose job?  It’s not sacrilege – a lot of celebrities go under the knife and some don’t say a word.

      Also, many people suspect that Beyonce had rhinoplasty because thanks to her narrower nostrils, her vocal resonance has changed over the years to be raspier and adenoidal, particularly when she tries to reach higher registers.  It’s your prerogative if you choose to believe otherwise because of your preference of a celebrity. However, to openly insult a blog author just because of your disbelief smacks of sheer immaturity and lack of (self-)respect.
