In May 2023, after gracing the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, Beckinsale shared photos on Instagram. The buzz in her comments section quickly turned to speculation about plastic surgery. Addressing these rumors, the “Click” star clarified, “I haven’t had a facelift or filler or Botox.” She further shared that cosmetic surgery isn’t an option for her due to a condition called mast cell activation syndrome. This condition means her immune system could have severe, allergic reactions to such procedures.

After appearing at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2023, Beckinsale uploaded snaps from the red carpet to Instagram. Her comment section was quickly littered with followers accusing her of getting work done, and the “Click” actor felt the need to put those rumors to rest. “I haven’t had a facelift or filler or Botox,” she replied to one commenter, joining the list of celebs who have denied using Botox and filler. In fact, Beckinsale revealed that she will never get plastic surgery, since she has a condition known as mast cell activation syndrome; as such, her immune system can react negatively to cosmetic procedures, causing severe, allergy-like reactions.

Beckinsale and her daughter, Lily Sheen, turned heads with their matching style at a Los Angeles Clippers game in December 2025. While Lily sported a chic black leather jacket, Beckinsale dazzled in a black strapless dress paired with an ornate headband. The resemblance between the two, particularly in their noses, was notable. However, the evening highlighted Beckinsale’s makeup choices, as her heavily applied bronzer and blush stood in stark contrast to her daughter’s fair complexion. High-resolution photos revealed distinct makeup lines around her eyes and mouth.

At the 2024 Golden Globes, Beckinsale dazzled in a metallic silver gown with a transparent train, capturing the attention of onlookers. Yet, a closer look revealed a heavy application of bronzer, overshadowing her natural beauty. The thick makeup began to crack as she smiled for the cameras, giving an impression that parts of it might flake off, detracting from her otherwise stunning appearance.

While out on the town in Los Angeles in November 2025, Kate Beckinsale rocked a fur coat and a pair of distractingly large platform boots. The “Jolt” actor’s hair was held back with a black headband (and red bow), which gave a clear view of her face. She opted for spidery eyelashes, but otherwise went light on the eye makeup. However, she went super heavy with the bronzer, which made it appear as if she was walking around with a real-life photo filter. The cakey cover-up smoothed her skin, but also gave a shiny sheen to her face.

At a glance, Kate Beckinsale looked absolutely stunning when she attended the 2024 Golden Globes. Beckinsale turned heads on the red carpet, looking stunning in a metallic silver gown that was sleeveless with a transparent train. Unfortunately, she was not ready for her close-up, as the actor had plastered on the bronzer. Beckinsale also went heavy with the blush on her cheeks, but that was a minor offense compared to the bronzer overdose. In the above snap, the makeup was so thick that it started cracking when she smiled for photographers; the effect was so bad that it appeared the beauty product might just break off her cheeks.

Kate Beckinsale looked stiff but whimsical as she attempted to channel a music box ballerina at Variety’s Power of Women event in October 2024. The A-lister wore a pink puffball dress with a corset-style top that looked plucked straight from a ballet. Her makeup consisted of heavy mascara and blush, but it was actually the blending that went too far. In order to make the skin on her exposed chest match the tone of her face, Beckinsale applied liberal amounts of toner around her clavicle. This gave an unnatural hue to her skin, which did, however,  add to the music box ballerina aesthetic.

For Elle’s Women in Hollywood Celebration in December 2023, Kate Beckinsale sported a form-fitting black dress with long sleeves and a partially exposed back. The actor accessorized with a necklace adorned with multi-colored jewels that drew attention to her neck and face. Naturally, photographers zoomed in on her, ultimately revealing how thickly she had applied her bronzer. As she strained for the cameras on the red carpet, close-ups showed a thicker layer of makeup on her forehead than her temples, and it was clearly divided in the two areas of her head.

Kate Beckinsale pulled out all the stops at the AmfAR Gala Venezia in September 2024, wearing a spicy yet elegant bodysuit dress that shimmered with a light bronze coloring. Her revealed upper body had makeup heavily applied to it, so her whole top half shone under the bright lights. Beckinsale’s face, meanwhile, had even more beauty products applied, and it made her almost unrecognizable. The skin tone on her face was much lighter than her chest, as if she chose the wrong shimmer bronzer and decided to smear it on anyway. Not only did it make her complexion much whiter than her darkened body, but it gave off a reflective brightness as photos were snapped.
