It’s no secret that Selena Gomez is an absolute stunner, and she has been open in recent years about how her lupus battle has affected her appearance and led to her changing her skincare routine. On Instagram, some fans have been analyzing older photos from her earlier career days, and debating whether or not the 30-year-old Only Murders in the Building actress underwent the trendy ‘fox eye’ surgery recently (many have linked this procedure to Bella Hadid on TikTok).
Others are stressing that a new makeup style and the effects of lupus might be leading to the Rare Beauty mogul’s slightly different and more sculpted appearance, but many are still divided. This all began in the comment section of a new post under the popular Instagram account @plasticne this week (where fans often compare photos of celebrities that might have gone under the knife).

Did Selena Gomez Get Fox Eye Surgery? Some Fans Think So
On May 3rd, account @plasticne posted a side-by-side comparison shot of Gomez in 2016 and then a more modern pic from her red carpet look at the 2023 Golden Globes. While she looks undeniably gorgeous in both images, some fans noted in the comment section that they thought she looked like she “got fox eye surgery” within the past seven years. Others stressed that they “didn’t think she got anything done” at all, and that the pictures themselves were photoshopped, making any comparisons inaccurate to begin with.
“I see no plastic here,” one fan wrote, adding, “I see age, weight gain, and steroid side effects. None of these are anything to be hated on or called out for! All very natural and realistic parts of being human!” Someone else commented, “Love how people still try and tear a beautiful woman down,” as another stressed for the creator of the post to “normalize natural aging,” and not assume that Gomez got plastic surgery.

Selena Gomez Flaunts Natural Beauty On Instagram
Within the past few months, Gomez has showed off her all-natural beauty in several makeup-free shots for her 414 million Instagram followers. On March 13th, the “Lose You To Love Me” hitmaker shared a gorgeous bare-faced selfie post and stunned with her radiant, all-natural and glowing complexion. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum posed in front of a window with sunlight rays emphasizing her dewy skin and wavy, shiny brunette tresses.
The “My Mind & Me” singer uploaded two photos of herself in the sunny setting, and wrote in her caption, “Violet chemistry.” This, as fans know, refers to the song by her friend Miley Cyrus of the same name off her new record, Endless Summer Vacation. This post followed a string of au naturel pics that Gomez blessed her fans feeds with, and they (and we) can never get enough!
