      Stunning style, ‘golden ratio’ face & Emmy-nominated roles… 3 reasons why Sydney Sweeney is pure class as she’s slammed

      by

      SYDNEY SWEENEY has had a meteoric rise to fame and is drop-dead gorgeous – but that isn’t enough to impress one Hollywood producer.Carol Baum, who lectures at a US university, said of the 26-year-old film star: “There’s an actress who everybody loves now: Sydney Sweeney. I don’t get Sydney Sweeney . . . She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?”Stunner Sydney Sweeney has had a meteoric rise to fameCredit: RexProducer Carol Baum has slammed Sweeney saying ‘She’s not pretty, she can’t act. Why is she so hot?’Credit: GettyBaum, who produced Eighties thriller Dead Ringers and Nineties hit Father Of The Bride, made the comments during a film screening.She also told the audience that she had watched Sydney’s rom-com Anyone But You on a plane and found it “unwatchable”.Representatives for Sydney, who also produced the 2023 film, starring Glen Powell, hit back: “How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman. If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach, that’s shameful.“To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms Baum’s character.”READ MORE CELEB NEWSHere we show why Sydney is rightfully one Hollywood’s hottest properties.Swooney bod‘She’s got style, elegance and sex appeal – the whole package’ – by Clemmie FieldsendLIKE blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe before her, Sydney knows what she is doing when it comes to fashion.As a general red carpet rule she makes the most of her tiny waist and bigger bust in corseted or low-cut, figure-hugging dresses.Most read in CelebritySydney is one of the sexiest stars in HollywoodCredit: Capture Media AgencyThe actress knows what she is doing when it comes to fashionSydney Sweeney fans concerned for star as she appears in ‘weird’ ad with ‘uncomfortable’ messageAt this year’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party she slipped into a plunging, white satin gown that bore a striking resemblance to the Some Like It Hot star’s iconic dress.The gown was actually worn by Angelina Jolie to the Academy Awards 20 years earlier.So big shoes that Sydney successfully filled.But the US actor hasn’t always been so confident with her curvy figure.She told Glamour magazine that she was insecure about her “big boobs” in high school and planned to have a reduction once she turned 18.Sydney is thankful her mum talked her out of the operation, saying her breasts are her “best friends”.She is now an expert at tasteful décolletage, never flashing too much or wearing garish styles to grab headlines.She’s just nailing it with glam gowns which complement her shape and, more importantly, make her feel good.I love her dress code. She’s got elegance, style and sex appeal.And, unlike Baum, she encourages other women to appreciate their looks – what’s not to like.Sydney has said: “I find empowerment through embracing the body I have.”That sense of self-awareness and maturity in your twenties isn’t something to be sniffed at. It doesn’t hit most women until they are in their forties, or even older.Sure, she looks a knockout and scientifically near perfect, but it is the conviction that comes with embracing how she looks that gives her the wow factor.And if she’s teaching that to younger or older women, then good for her.Swooney face‘Her proportions fit the golden ratio’ – by Miranda KnoxWHILE Baum reckons Sydney isn’t pretty, science says otherwise.Experts claim the actress has a “golden ratio” face, meaning she is more attractive to the human eye.Scientists claim Sweeney has a ‘golden ratio’ facePlastic surgeon Onur Gilleard, who has studied the science behind what makes a face aesthetically pleasing, says Sydney is practically perfect.The co-founder of New You Harley Street says her facial features are symmetrical and closely aligned, with perfect harmony and proportion.He says: “The ideal facial proportions, which can be applied both horizontally and vertically, are referred to as the golden ratio.“The length of the forehead should match the length of the nose, which in turn should equal the distance between the bottom of the nose and the chin.“Ideal lip dimensions include a width 1.6 times that of the nose and a ratio of the vertical height of the upper lip to that of the lower lip of 1:1.6.“The ideal chin position is considered to be 1mm behind the vertical line dropped from the upper lip.“Finally, high, well-defined cheekbones are a significant indicator of female beauty.“When analysing Sydney’s face, nearly all of her facial features adhere to these golden ratios, which is why she is referred to as a ‘classic beauty’.”Swooney roles‘Versatile star’s name will be in lights a lot longer than Baum’ – by Dulcie PearceSYDNEY is not just a pretty face.Having seen several of her big – and small – screen performances, there is no doubt that she has the ability to fill them.Sydney played the role of promiscuous teen Cassie Howard in drama EuphoriaCredit: AlamyThe actress played Olivia Mossbacher in the first series of Sky’s comedy-drama series The White LotusCredit: Home Box OfficeOne that really stuck with me was her portrayal of Reality Winner, a real-life whistle-blower, who released US government intelligence and whose five-year sentence was the longest ever imposed for the offence.The entire film is a re-enactment of the FBI interview that took place in a sweaty, disused bedroom in Reality’s house.Without a scrap of make-up, her hair tied back and wearing an unflattering outfit, Sydney is hypnotising in the role.While the film didn’t do much at the box office, it won her critical acclaim.And let’s not forget her scene-stealing turn as eye-rolling Olivia Mossbacher in the first series of Sky’s comedy-drama series The White Lotus.The spoiled, vengeful daughter act earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series in 2022.In fact, she was up for two Emmy Awards that year, having also been acknowledged for her role as promiscuous teen Cassie Howard in TV drama Euphoria.And no genre is off limits, as the versatile actress plays a nun in this year’s gorefest, Immaculate, and was chosen to star in the music video for Rolling Stones single Angry, from their recent album Hackney Diamonds.She may have dipped her toe in the world of Marvel, with the disastrous Madame Web, but at her age she is allowed a few duffs.READ MORE SUN STORIESNot many, though, if women like Baum are on the warpath, doing down the looks and ability of her own sex.But Sydney’s name will be in lights a lot longer.The Rolling Stones shared a Sydney Sweeney-featured video for new song ‘Angry’Credit: The Rolling StonesSydney in new movie ImmaculateCredit: Alamy More

      Jimmy Carr’s changing face as he jokes ‘little original remains’ & reveals his surgery ‘red line’ ahead of Netflix show

      by

      HE famously joked about being unable to be cremated due to having had “too much plastic surgery” and that standing next to a naked flame would be “very dangerous”.There’s no denying Jimmy Carr’s appearance has drastically changed from his younger years and the Channel 4 comedian has often been the first to admit it. Jimmy Carr, pictured recently, has joked that there is ‘very little’ of his original face leftCredit: RexJimmy pictured in 2006 early into his TV careerCredit: GettyThe 51-year-old, whose new Netflix comedy special Jimmy Carr: Natural Born Killer was released today, has previously confessed to having had a hair transplant, veneers and Botox injections. He said “very little” of his original face still exists due to extensive cosmetic work and spoke about having “gone a bit crazy” during lockdown – admitting it was “a proper midlife crisis”.Last month, the 8 Out Of 10 Cats host revealed the one cosmetic procedure his surgeon refused to perform – despite claiming a hit singer previously underwent the op.On the Happy Hallow Jeans podcast, Jimmy recalled: “I’d asked him about buccal fat reduction, one of the guys from One Direction had it done, I think it’s Liam [Payne].READ MORE ON SHOWBIZ“I’m sure you can get a picture up, but they take out the fat there [points to the sides of his mouth] so, you go from having, I mean I’ve always had chubby little cheeks.“It doesn’t matter how much weight I lose. I could be 50kg and I would still have chubby cheeks. But they take out the fat from here [pointing to his cheeks] so that you look chiselled and model-y (sic).”Jimmy said his plastic surgeon was hesitant about the procedure due to patients looking worse in their fifties and often asked to have it reversed. He added that the medical professional often told him “nope, we’re not doing that” after hearing his suggestions, much to his amusement.Most read in CelebrityDespite that, Jimmy looks very different to when he started out on TV back in the early Noughties and, by his own admission, has had “everything done”.Here we look at how his face changed over the years as he sought to slow down the ageing process. BotoxAmar Suchde, founder of AMS Aesthetics, told The Sun in 2021 that a large part of his transformation is down to shedding some timber.Jimmy Carr slammed for making ‘vile and unacceptable remarks about deaf woman’ during gigIt’s clear looking back at older photos from the Nineties – when he sported long hair – and the early noughties that the comedian has lost weight over the years. The comedian attributed it to intermittent fasting and according to Amar wrinkles from shedding pounds led him to Botox use. He said: “Jimmy has clearly lost a lot of weight over the years.”Amar added that he believes the comic has regular Botox treatment on his forehead to remove some of his lines to make him look more fresh. Jimmy – who was born James Anthony Patrick Carr – when he was a childCredit: Planet PhotosA throwback shot of Jimmy which appeared on Big Fat Quiz of the 90s in 2012Credit: Twitter/@jimmycarrHe added: “There still seems to be some movement which may indicate a smaller dosage such as that used in Baby Botox.”Speaking on the subject of Botox, Jimmy quipped his face was “like Trigger’s broom from Only Fools and Horses, very little of the original is still there”.Hair transplantJimmy explained he had the hair transplant procedure after worrying he was beginning to resemble a “snooker-playing vampire”. He detailed how the procedure worked, saying: “So what happened was my hair was socially distancing from my forehead and I’d had enough of it. He’s done really well to maintain the character of his faceAmar SuchdeAMS Aesthetics founder”I shaved my head and what they do is take hairs from the back of your head and they put them on the front.”Basically I had enough hair, it was just in the wrong place. It was a bit of redistribution.”In a blog post, Harley Street Hair Clinic confirmed Jimmy had Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), which they said leads to “full growth coming through within about 12 months after treatment”.They noted that the comedian’s decision to have the procedure during lockdown was well-timed as it meant he could “recover a few months out of the public eye before he could show off his new look”. Under-eye fillers and laser treatmentsAmar previously told us Jimmy wears a considerable amount of make-up on set and in shoots, but it’s believed he’s had under-eye fillers to slow the signs of ageing.He added that he may well have also had fillers in his cheeks to replace any facial fat lost during his weight loss journey.Jimmy back in 2014 after losing weight with receding his hair line on showCredit: Getty – ContributorJimmy back in 2020 when he sported short hair beforeCredit: BBCJimmy Carr in 2021 after undergoing a hair transplant and veneersCredit: Rex”Increasing amounts of men are seeking masculinisation aesthetic treatments; focusing particularly on the jawline, to give it more width and make it more aligned and Jimmy may well have had this treatment,” he explained.”His skin looks fantastic and I suspect he’s had a number of laser skin resurfacing treatments to give it that youthful  glow. “It also looks like he may have had skin tightening treatments and under eye fillers.”Amar said he believes Jimmy has done really well to “maintain the character” of his face and not take aesthetic treatments too far. “Rather, he’s just kept up with little tweakments to maintain a fresh look as he is in the spotlight,” he said.Maintaining is the thing, I don’t think there’s anything you can do plastic surgery wise, or augmentation wise, that makes you look better. You can just sort of stay the same, that’s what you can hope for.Jimmy CarrIn 2021, the specialist reckoned the work Jimmy would have cost in the region of £1,000 to £3,000.Bright white teethHarley Street dentist Dr Anjum Jahan reckons Jimmy has helped combat ageing with some clever dental work. She thinks the comedian is likely to have had Chairside Teeth whitening – light-activated whitening – which would set him back around £500-800.In 2021, Dr Jahan said: “This is the most likely option as his teeth are a bright white.”He may also have opted for veneers which is a layer of material placed over each tooth to protect it from damage.VeneersJimmy pictured in 2016 after having veneersCredit: GettyJimmy with a fuller head of hair back in 2021Credit: RexThe comedian is visibly different in a poster for his 2022 show I Can See Your VoiceCredit: BBCShe said: “It is very difficult to tell whether the veneers are made from composite or porcelain. “If they are composite, then the price can range between £250-£500 per tooth. “If made of porcelain price can be £650-£1000 per tooth.”Dr Jahan estimated that Jimmy is likely to have had more than £7,000 of dental work back in 2021. In recent years, the comedian said he is more focussed on maintaining his look rather than trying to change his appearance.He added: “Maintaining is the thing, I don’t think there’s anything you can do plastic surgery wise, or augmentation wise, that makes you look better.
