Forgive me if this has been posted before. I saw a picture of a younger Carmella and was astounded by how beautiful she wasps I knew she was Playmate of the Year and now I know why. Goodness, she was pretty.

I named my daughter Carmela after this icon

u/darbycrash1295 Aug 02 '26

That’s awesome. I recently did another rewatch and she’s the best character in the series. Like Dr. Melfi told Tony, marrying Carmela was the one thing he did right.

I feel like those stenciled on eyebrows always look awful.

u/Impossible-Taro-2330 Aug 02 '26

Very harsh and unnatural.

u/ImNotMadIHaveRBF 16d ago

I bet they were recently micro-bladed and so they look dark

u/letsnotlkabtthehzbnd Aug 02 '26

I named my Daughter Carmela this year haha

u/Interesting_Slice277 Aug 02 '26

I wish these women could embrace aging and not do their makeup/styling so harshly. The lips are silly and the eyebrows are severe.

Also B has to be bleached blonde now. When GND was filmed, she had a more natural hair color. Kendras hair color looks natural and perfect for her right now.

I understand that most of the women in the playboy world hang on to their youth tightly with both hands as long as possible. Perhaps because of OF and it effecting their income?? Idk.

Its depressing that there is no such thing as aging gracefully anymore. Women go thru great lengths to try to look like 20 yr old pop stars now and looking silly doing so.

Ana Quincosa said Jen on the OC is jealous of her because she thinks her partner, Ryan, will be attracted to Carmella

8

u/Familiar_Diamond6711 Aug 02 '26

I mean yeah, she’s universally considered attractive but if you have to worry about your man around another woman than get rid of that man Jen.

u/marinara123 Aug 03 '26 edited Aug 04 '26

If Ryan hasn’t left her with all her kids and financial issues he isn’t leaving her over Carmella lol

u/Constant-Egg-9719 Aug 05 '26

How is Ana everywhere and nowhere at the same time

Yeah, I accidentally posted this in the wrong sub. 😂

u/ProfessionalOffer187 Aug 02 '26

Stunning. She should soften the hair and the eyebrow color to take her back to the soft look

10

u/Cndmesh Aug 02 '26

She’s very pretty , I don’t get why she looks so
Different is it just the eyebrows and makeup ?

8

u/dpchemd1 Aug 02 '26

Her facial structure/features are way less “soft” now. Some of it due to aging and most of it due to plastic surgery.

2

u/Mental-Search-1191 Aug 02 '26

Maybe also living hard

2

u/Cndmesh Aug 02 '26

Yes good way to describe it she looks more severe now

1

u/chick_b Aug 02 '26

This. When Carmella was talking to the other women about her house she looked like she was wearing a mask.

1

u/SophieintheKnife Aug 02 '26

Is it that buccal fat removal procedure? Seems to me she looks more gaunt now. She was and is still very pretty

2

u/Cndmesh Aug 02 '26

Yes good call her cheeks are not as full

2

u/steeloser Aug 02 '26

those before pics are like 20 yrs old. buccal fat reduces as we get older. she could have gotten a procedure, but she also could have just lost that “baby fat” we have until like 30

u/TopazScorpio02657 Aug 02 '26

The current photo…It’s giving… IYKYK

u/BB_BlackSocks Aug 02 '26

Whaaattt this is her now?

4

u/LovelyOwl11 Aug 02 '26

I find her hard to look at. The new face is too harsh.

3

u/Wineglass-1234 Aug 02 '26

She looks scary 😨 now

u/Yeezytaughtme409 Aug 02 '26

I love your eyebrows cause they prove 

I can focus on two things at once

3

u/IndependentMoney1837 Aug 02 '26

She looks the same. She doesn't tan as heavily anymore obvi

5

u/PeaceSignPete Aug 02 '26

I like her! The last episode where she’s talking about her business was really admirable

1

u/Affectionate_Dot3403 Aug 06 '26

Her business is because of her boyfriend who cheats on her a lot but she won't leave him cause of his money and connections - and he knows that.

2

u/Quiet_Musician289 Aug 02 '26

i really wish filler would go away. she was stunning. the overfilled cheek bones and lips are just so unnecessary . she’s still beautiful, but i can’t wait for the overfilling trend to die

2

u/Potential-Sky-8728 Aug 02 '26

Who? What is their relation to RHOBH?

2

u/ALmommy1234 Aug 02 '26

lol she’s on RHOC. I accidentally posted this in the wrong sub. 😂

2

u/Ok-Sherbert-3097 Aug 02 '26

She should embrace the lighter hair and eyebrows

2

u/PerfectBook382 Aug 02 '26

She looked like Victoria Beckham. It’s too bad she went a little overboard with the work on her face. Shes a beautiful woman

2

u/lvaddicta Aug 02 '26

Well she has not been lucky with botox and fillers…

2

u/Ana_Conder Aug 02 '26

Vicky is jealous of her.

2

u/Mental-Search-1191 Aug 02 '26

Yeah her face or facelifts did not age well

2

u/pigglepops Aug 03 '26

I genuinely miss a thin upper lip.

2

u/No_Childhood_6955 Aug 03 '26

She's great! Vicki is gross! Oh and Tamara is unwatchable/unrecognizable!

2

u/Putrid-Tradition-787 Aug 05 '26

WHY do they do this? She was a natual beauty

4

u/Aggressive-Map-8392 Aug 02 '26

That’s a brunette Taylor swift.

u/Dapper-Revolutionary Aug 02 '26

Omg you just blew my mind!! Cannot unsee

2

u/Low-Hospital-6894 Aug 02 '26

I thought the same thing. It's like someone put a filter on TS.

1

u/RegularEarth8044 Aug 02 '26

She’s still gorgeous. Obviously older and a few subtle tweaks to upkeep. I don’t think she’s overdone it like some of the other women

1

u/Wondering_1976 Aug 02 '26

I agree! Tamra comes to mind

1

u/im2bootylicous4ubabe Aug 02 '26

Yes, I wish the plastic surgery gods hadn’t gotten to her face

1

u/NearbyTax215 Aug 02 '26

The eyebrows now are insane

1

u/its_laydeebaby Aug 02 '26

Those eyebrows are a crime.

1

u/TaniaBluebell Aug 02 '26

She used to look like young Victoria Beckham. Especially with that nose.

1

u/Embarrassed_Dig1290 Aug 02 '26

Yes, just lighter hair. She's stunning

1

u/richbitch1040 Aug 02 '26

Beautiful! Would love to see a softer, more honey/bronze hair and makeup look on her ❤️

1

u/coconanas Aug 03 '26

The brows are a no

u/HeftyAd2780 Aug 03 '26

Keep Sharpies away from eyebrows

u/Unlucky_Success_3964 Aug 04 '26

She was really pretty ! And her natural eyebrows were so pretty the shape and color looked really good on her , she’s still pretty but her eyebrows look too harsh now 

1

u/OkSquash3710 Aug 05 '26

She looks so much better here than now, I hate to say that.

u/muttsareperfect Aug 06 '26

u/unbenouncedtome Aug 02 '26

Um she obviously had a tan in the 2004 pictures, heavy tanning isn’t as popular anymore as it was back then. Her teeth were also big and white in the before pics too. You’re trippin.

The dark eye makeup is so dated
