Is that “swipe”? Beyoncé is a female celeb over 40. Don’t most people assume that celebs, especially women, have work done?

[automaticpeople]

Oh wait, I see it’s the DailyFail. Of course they’ll try and make it into something it’s not.

I bet both Lily and Beyonce are FLAUNTING something

How is that not a banned source yet?

So it wasn’t a put down at all.
Of course people don’t read

I thought it was a bit shady tbh but I always find weird when someone compliments someone else and another person is quick to point out 'but that's make up/plastic surgery'. Like...ok? I'm well aware that not everyone is a ~natural beauty lol

There are many many people who don't recognize that most Celebs (male and female) get work done. And then they compare themselves to those celebs and feel like shit

Imo we should talk about it

[ginainabottle]

Yes, we should but based on everything else in the post doesn't seem like Lily had any actual interest in discussing the topic as the much broader issue it actually is. This just comes across as "yeah, she's beautiful, but it's fake".

Edit to add: context is key, the person brought up Beyonce to say turning 40 is exciting because of how great Bey look at her age.

They weren't talking about being beautiful though, they were talking specifically about her "age defying" beauty. To which Allen said ya but she's getting some help. Idk to me that's not saying she's fake, it's saying yeah she looks great but it's not a realistic expectation for other women turning 40 who don't have "help"

Miquita fumed: 'She has not had any work done if that's what you're implying. "

Lily said: 'I didn’t say that but she's got a great stylist, great hair people, she works out, got the access to the best personal trainers in the world... she's Beyoncé'.

What you said (about it not being a realistic expectation) would've been a nice way to expand a little on the topic, but based on the tone I'm getting from the interview, Idt Lily was in it for that debate in particular. She might not have meant to be shady after all, but it definitely came across that way to me.
