When did real life turn into a bodyswap comedy?! Here at Us, we’ve clocked a few celebrity moms looking years younger recently — so many years, in fact, they seem to be transforming into their famous kids.

Sure, every mom loves it when someone tells them their little girl has their eyes, but megastar matriarchs appear to be rocking up to the plastic surgeon’s lately and asking for their nose, chin and boobs, too.

Kris Jenner, 69, blew everyone’s mind in May when she was spotted in Paris looking like the sixth Kardashian sister. Some fans mistook her for Kim, 44, and others for Kourtney, 46. Jenner has always been open about her cosmetic enhancements, from a boob job in the 1980s to multiple facelifts and even an earlobe reduction. “For me, it’s been really great,” she said in 2019. “If you’re responsible, and you talk to your doctor, I think it works.”

Then there’s Dina Lohan, 62, mom of Lindsay, 39. The Freakier Friday star’s recent glow-up seems to have radiated all the way to her mother’s face. “I always believed in growing old gracefully, but if you want to do something for yourself, go for it,” Dina told Page Six in 2023, revealing that she’d had a facelift, neck lift and facial rejuvenation. “I wanted to look like a younger version of myself.” So yes, Dina resembles Lindsay more now, but one could argue that Lindsay already resembled Dina.

Fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives choked on their dirty sodas when Taylor Frankie Paul’s mom, Liann May, showed off the striking results of her recent refresh in the second season.

Cosmetic surgery candidates often look to celebrities as references for their own aesthetic goals. Whether it’s due to the striking glow-ups revealed on red carpets — or the increasing transparency of stars confessing their own procedure details — people turn to Hollywood for beauty inspiration. However, elective surgery goals aren’t the same across the board, […]

The real estate agent has been open about transforming herself via nose job, eyelid surgery and weight loss, and asked Paul, 31, on the show, “Do I look your age?” When viewers trolled her, saying she was trying to turn into her daughter because she was now famous, May shut them down. “I love Tay and my other kids more than life itself,” she wrote via Instagram. “I would never be jealous of them. That’s ludicrous! I don’t have to want to look like my daughter, she looks like me! It’s called genetics!”

U.K. plastic surgeon Alex Karidis believes the trend is “about something other than looking much younger.” He writes that the psychology of the facelift centers on “wanting the external image to be a more accurate reflection of how they feel inside. It’s human nature to be optimistic, so people take this journey to reinvigorate and reinvent themselves to face the next phase in their lives.”

That’s especially understandable for women in the spotlight thanks to their daughters. They’ve become supporting cast members in their offspring’s high-profile worlds, with the accompanying red carpet access, climbing follower counts and sudden public scrutiny. Combine that with society’s harsh judgment of women’s looks — and the erasure of women over 40 — and why wouldn’t they want to appear younger? Look no further than The Substance for a grotesque parable about the pressure women of a certain age face, especially in Hollywood. Who can blame these mogul mamas?
