When Brittany Mahomes’ Look Changed — and What We Remember About Her Old Photos

People notice faces. We do — always. And when someone like Brittany Mahomes changes her look over time, it pulls at a lot of reactions: surprise, nostalgia, curiosity. I’ve watched her style evolve over the years and, honestly, it’s been weirdly interesting to follow. Some of the shift feels natural, some of it seems deliberate, and some of it… well, feels heavy-handed. Here’s a take on those before-and-after photos that made people say, “Remember her old face?”

A quick note: Brittany has openly said she gets lip fillers — she called them her favorite treatment in an Instagram Q&A in 2023. That’s one piece of the puzzle. Beyond that, observers and a few experts have guessed at other procedures. Whether those guesses are right? Hard to say for certain. Still, looking at photos from different years, the differences are there.

Why the changes stand out

It’s not just one thing. When you look at her earlier pictures — high school snaps, family holidays, candid no-makeup selfies — you get an impression: a softer, less sculpted face, a really natural presence. Those images feel like the person you’d meet at a small-town game or a family dinner. The lips were smaller, the nose looked a bit different, the makeup was minimal. It read as, “this is Brittany, no filters.”

Fast-forward to more recent red carpets and glam shoots, and you notice a more finished look. Fuller lips, sharper contouring, the kind of makeup that’s meant to be seen from a distance — or in bright camera flashes. Some changes are subtle; others are more dramatic. Fans, and critics, respond differently. A Reddit post captured that feeling for many: people who remembered Brittany as “the all-American Texas girl” felt like they lost something familiar. I get that. I do. There’s a real emotional component when someone’s face evolves publicly.

The “what” and the “maybe”

She’s admitted to fillers. That’s fact. The rest — rhinoplasty, Botox, more extensive work — is mostly speculation from fans and a handful of cosmetic pros who look at bone structure, the nose bridge, and photos across years. One plastic surgeon suggested her nose looks thinner now, which could be due to makeup tricks or surgery; he also estimated that, combined, any procedures might add up in cost to the tens of thousands. That’s plausible. People invest a lot in their looks, especially when they’re in the spotlight.

But here’s a thought: people change for tons of reasons. Age, makeup technique, better photographers and lighting, lifestyle changes, and yes, cosmetic enhancements. Sometimes it’s all of the above. It’s rarely just one single thing. And sometimes the hair, the outfit, and the expression can alter how we read a face more than any procedure does. I don’t mean to dodge the question — the differences are visible — only to point out how many variables are at play.

Moments I keep coming back to

• Teen photos: There’s an undeniable charm in those school-yearbook-style shots. They show Brittany before fame shaped some of the choices that come with public life. You can almost see the path not yet taken — no press, no red carpets, just life.
• No-makeup selfies: A handful of Brittany’s bare-faced photos feel candid and warm. In 2020 she posted a “know your worth” selfie that pushed back at critics — and at the time, it read as confidence and authenticity. Looking back now, it highlights how much even a little filler can change a face.
• Date-night and family snaps: There are pictures where the enhancements are balanced and flattering. A softer lip shape, light glow, a natural-looking contour — those images show how enhancements can be subtle and still present. I liked those. They felt like the best of both worlds.
• Met Gala and later glam shots: High-fashion events demand a particular look, and sometimes the makeup and photos amplify whatever changes someone’s had. Some of the red carpet photos show fuller lips and heavier makeup, and that’s where critics tend to focus. Are those photos a fair representation of daily life? Not always. But they’re what most people judge.

Public reaction and why it matters
