The photo of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, taken by Christopher Anderson for a Vanity Fair profile, has gone viral, sparking mixed reactions. The entertainment magazine on Tuesday released a profile of President Donald Trump’s “core team” in the White House during his second term.
This included photos and conversations with Vice President JD Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Leavitt.
Leavitt’s close-up has garnered a lot of attention and fueled speculation about lip fillers. However, the 28-year-old has not confirmed that she had lip augmentation surgery. There is no record of Leavitt having undergone lip augmentation.
Notably, this isn’t the first time Leavitt’s appearance has caused a stir. In the past, several experts have weighed in on the apparent change in her appearance. Now in the midst of a new debate surrounding Leavitt, many have shared her old photos, comparing them to how she appears now.

Leavitt’s lips were the talk of the town earlier this year as well. People online noticed how they looked different during an interview on Fox News and speculated about “lip fillers” then as well. Dr. Michael Niccole, medical director of CosmetiCare Plastic Surgery Center & MedSpa in Newport Beach, California, spoke to Glam about it, saying “There’s no doubt about it – her lips look enhanced, so she probably had some form of lip augmentation. It also looks like she’s had an enhancement on her nose. Plus, I think she’s had fat transfer or filler to her chin and jawline.”
Dr Frederick Weniger from South Carolina famous that Leavitt probably also had a nose job. “The earlier image shows a slightly wider nasal bridge and rounder tip,” he said, adding, “To me, the earlier image shows a slightly wider nasal bridge and rounder tip, while the more recent look reflects a thinner bridge and a more refined, raised tip, features consistent with thin rhinoplasty.”
“The perfect contour lines and angles of her current nose suggest a very well-executed rhinoplasty,” the expert continued. It was estimated to cost between $15,000 and $50,000. Dr. Weniger also commented on Leavitt’s lips, saying “Her lips, in particular, look much fuller in more recent photos” and added, “Overall facial improvement, including a potentially more sculpted jawline and smoother skin tone, may also indicate non-surgical enhancements such as dermal fillers or skin resurfacing treatments.”

Another person shared a series of photos of Leavitt, showing how her face has changed. “Leavitt has yet to fully embrace the Mar-a-Lago aesthetic,” the person wrote.
Another person shared side-by-side photos of Leavitt.
“This is not an improvement imo,” the person said.
