Kim Kardashian was seen with her mother, Kris Jenner, in what has been described as a “rare” public appearance together at the October 16 premiere of the new Hulu series, All’s Fair—and fans are talking plastic surgery.
While the daughter put her everything into it, as she usually does, the mother’s outfit made Kardashian’s designer piece look – to use the term In Style applied – “muted.”
Highlights
- Fans noticed Kris Jenner looked significantly different from a recent MAC campaign.
- Some suggested that she may have reversed her cosmetic work.
- TikTok users speculate that Kim was annoyed with her mother for stealing her spotlight on the night.
Another aspect that drew netizens’ attention was Jenner’s features, which appeared significantly less smoothed out than they did in her September MAC ad campaign.

The photo that has X whirring depicts the 44-year-old actress and businesswoman, and her 69-year-old mother posing for a photo at the All’s Fair premiere on Thursday.

Starting just below her abdomen, the Schiaparelli number's top half becomes sleek, meshy, skin-colored sleeveless that is supported by a thin halter around her neck.
Kardashian's hair, perhaps as a tribute to the professional theme of the series, was tied back into a neat power bun.

But when the soon-to-be septuagenarian Jenner, who served as All’s Fair’s executive producer, stood next to Kardashian on the 44-year-old’s big night, she stole the attention with her bright yellow outfit.
She complemented a coat dress by Givenchy with a stylish black satin belt tied into an untidy bow at the front.
She wore black stockings, gloves, and heels to match, with her hair down and a diamond piece around her neck.
Many netizens — hung up on the family’s forays with cosmetic surgery — looked past everything and focused on Jenner's face.
In a September MAC ad, Jenner’s features were observably fuller
“Did Kris unlift her face?? She was looking brand new just last week,” asked one person.
“It was recently that she looked soooo young. What happened???”
Bored Panda documented the said appearance on September 17, when it reported on a publicity stunt by the 69-year-old for the MAC beauty brand.

Images showed a full and round-featured Jenner as she posed for the camera.
The photo, posted on Instagram, drew quips like “Great commercial for her plastic surgeon,” and “I only wear MAC and get $300,000 face lifts.”
Some fans think the sudden aging effect is the result of bad lighting

Some fans defended her apparently less youthful looks.
“Y'all really don’t understand the concept of angles and lighting do you?” wrote one.
“Of course her face is going to look less snatched with overhead lighting and a low camera angle.”
Others found the visual cathortic: “Honestly relieved to find out gravity doesn’t care how rich you are.”
Jenner has only ever confirmed two facelifts, the most recent of which was in 2025
Jenner has admitted getting Botox fillers and breast implants; a journey she started after giving birth to her fourth child, Rob Kardashian, in 1987.
However, she has only ever confirmed two face lifts, one was in 2011 during the show, Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Then in May 2025, she showed off a new look that was later confirmed to be the result of aesthetic enhancements by New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine, per People.

Then, in an exclusive with Vogue Arabia in August 2025, she confirmed rumors, saying:
“I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.”
“I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy.”
“Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything.”
“But for me, this is aging gracefully. It’s my version.”
Netizens think Kardashian looked annoyed with her mother for stealing the spotlight at the recent All's Fair premiere
Meanwhile, on TikTok, netizens suspected all was not well with the Kardashians, specifically between the matriarch and her daughter.
“Why does she look annoyed at her mom,” a netizen asked of Kardashian, and received the answer: “Mom [is] stealing all her spotlight.”
Jenner is responsible for the All’s Fair plotline

Irrespective of whether Kardashian was irritated by her mother’s perceived grandstanding, Jenner had reason to be at the Chicago event because not only was she the All’s Fair’s executive producer, but also the brains behind the plot line.
According to Deadline, television writer and director Ryan Murphy – responsible for the productions Nip/Tuck (2003–2010), American Horror Story (2011–present), and American Crime Story (2016–2021) – originally pitched a reality show to Kardashian.

Jenner struck the original reality show idea down and told Murphy to to tailor a plot around Kardashian, and All’s Fair, which is about a divorce lawyer, was conceived.
The second pitch was then run by Hulu’s executives, who are said to have agreed.
Netizens say she looks for age, nonetheless
