Fans of the Kardashian-Jenner family have noticed that Kris Jenner looks a lot younger now. Some fans had to do a double take after Kris posted photos in which she resembled her daughter Kim Kardashian … or at least like the two women could be sisters. While many fans find the dramatic transformation impressive, it has also sparked conversations about women’s health and aging.
Some critics would like to know why women can’t just age naturally.
Aging is normal, several fans pointed out, so why can’t people just accept it? Many people who reacted to Kris Jenner’s transformation found it concerning. Some compared it to The Substance, a body horror film about an actress who takes a drug to create a younger version of herself.
Kris is 69 years old, but certainly doesn’t look it. To some, that’s not a good thing. “Aging is normal and should be embraced,” one critic commented on a photo Kris shared on Instagram. “This is a sickness.”
“It must be sad to be scared of aging idk,” another critic commented.
At the same time, others praised Kris for ‘aging backwards.’
Kris is clearly not the only person who wants to look younger than they are. The fear of aging runs deep, and many people celebrated Kris’ transformation, even while acknowledging that it clearly wasn’t natural.
“Drop the doctors name Kris, help a girl out,” one fan commented on Kris’ Instagram post.
Another person wrote, “Dont be shy, I needa know who to go to in 30 more years.”
“The fountain of youth,” a third fan wrote. “I want some of the water she’s drinking.”
Another fan who reacted positively to Kris’ new look asserted that “Kris is officially the hottest Kardashian/Jenner sister.”
Meanwhile, a fifth person joked that “Kris just graduated from college and now is just enjoying in her early 20s.”
Others questioned our society’s priorities.
Reacting to Kris’ transformation on Reddit, one person noted that Kris “looks great.” But at the same time, they “wish we dedicated as much time to researching women’s health (studying menopause, women’s reproductive issues, etc) as we did plastic surgery.”
A second fan echoed this sentiment: “Glad we are dealing with the problem of having smooth skin as there are still so many female diseases that we dont know nothing about.”
A third person pointed out that aging can’t be fully reversed. “no matter how young she looks, her actual age is [nearly] 70,” they wrote. “and age takes a toll on our minds and our bodies that no amount of money or surgery can halt.”
To some, the transformation just looked ‘creepy.’
Kris has garnered a lot of praise for looking so young, but not everyone is impressed by her appearance.
“She looks unreal and not in a good way,” a critic on Reddit wrote. “Like she had so much surgery she doesnt even look human anymore. I’m sorry but it just looks creepy.”
Another person commented, “If my parent looked like that at 70 I would be disturbed.”
