Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is making headlines again — but this time, it’s her appearance that’s generating buzz.
The 76-year-old political figure was spotted on a dinner date with husband and former President Bill Clinton at the trendy Via Carota restaurant in New York City’s West Village on Wednesday night.
As the couple exited the celebrity hot spot, they were greeted with cheers from bystanders, but it was Hillary’s noticeably smooth and wrinkle-free complexion that really caught attention.
Dressed in a chic coat and smiling for paparazzi, Hillary looked more refreshed than ever, reigniting long-standing rumors that she may have undergone cosmetic procedures. In contrast, Bill Clinton, now 78, appeared his age — further highlighting the striking difference between the two.
Speculation About Cosmetic Enhancements
Talk of Hillary Clinton turning back the clock isn’t new. According to the Daily Mail, journalist Edward Klein alleged in his controversial 2015 book Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary that she underwent facial procedures in the lead-up to her 2016 presidential campaign.
Klein wrote that Bill Clinton encouraged her to consider a facelift, saying she “couldn’t do anything about the calendar, but she could do something about the lines and sagging skin.”
Klein claimed Hillary set up a “mini-operating room” at their Chappaqua, New York, home to avoid going to a clinic. She reportedly had gradual work done to her cheeks, neck, forehead, and around the eyes, using Botox and other procedures to maintain a natural look.
“Hillary took it gradually and didn’t have anything drastic done,” Klein quoted a friend as saying. “If it had started to make her look weird, she would have stopped it immediately.”
Experts Weigh In
While the Clintons have never confirmed any cosmetic work, experts have chimed in over the years. In 2019, during an appearance at a Broadway event, Hillary’s youthful glow once again drew media attention. At the time, aesthetic expert Dr. Ross Perry suggested her look was likely the result of consistent non-invasive procedures.
“Hillary Clinton looks fantastic and I would suggest this is down to regular tweakments and procedures over the years, which appears less noticeable than having dramatic work done all in one go,” Dr. Perry told the Daily Mail.
He added: “Her forehead looks particularly smooth, which would suggest Botox has been administered in the forehead, frown line, and around the eye area, as there appears to be minimal crow’s feet.”
Facelifts typically last around ten years, raising speculation that Hillary may have had a second procedure more recently to maintain her fresh appearance. Whether through subtle cosmetic enhancements or simply excellent skincare, Hillary Clinton continues to turn heads
