'Vanity Fair' Publishes A Close-Up Portrait Of Karoline Leavitt

The current Press Secretary has been the talk of the town in politics lately, as she's the youngest person to ever hold the position and is not afraid to speak her mind, often causing controversy on social media.

 

Not long after the president complimented her lips during a speech, Vanity Fair posted a series of up close portraits of various members of Trump's current cabinet, including one of Karoline's face.

 

In the portrait, which is very high quality and shows off all the textures and colors in her skin, numerous internet users pointed out her lips, which some believe look as though they had been freshly injected with filler. You can see the portrait here!

Users React To Karoline's Portrait On Social Media

Once the close-up of the 28-year-old was shared by the publication on social media, the internet had a field day, leaving numerous comments about her appearance and her lips.

 

Many internet users also could not get over the timing of the portrait, given that the president had previously gushed about how "beautiful" she is.

 

"She's 28...why does she look 50?" asked an Instagram user.

 

One user speculated that Karoline took the picture when she was "fresh from her filler appointment."

 

"Leavitt's injections are so criminally low grade," added another.

 

"I'd be so upset if this were posted of me," commented a user.

 

As of right now, the secretary is continuing to do her job, seemingly waiting for the backlash surrounding her portrait to blow over, but it looks like this portrait will be buzzing for quite a while.
