Christian Wilkins turned heads as he attended a beauty event over the weekend with a dramatic new look.

The model son of Nine veteran Richard Wilkins, 29, sported a deep tan and multiple fake tattoos painted on his body as he celebrated 70 years of French cosmetics brand Clarins.

Christian also showed off his striking facial features.

His chin was very prominent while his lips appeared full and his cheeks were high and sculpted.

The aspiring Hollywood star arrived to the event in a long black dress.

Christian also showed off his biceps and muscular build as he joined a star-studded crowd at the celebration which saw Gwen Stefani perform.

In December, Christian took to social media to explain to his followers that he’s been dealing with some ‘pretty intense hormonal health issues’.

‘The effects of this have been rapid weight gain and water retention in the face and abdomen,’ he wrote.

‘Off the back of this I’ve made the decision to finally address one of my contributing factors to the issue, my relationship with food and diet.’

Christian explained he had gained over 23kgs in the past 18 months but his health has improved a lot since the beginning of the year.

‘It’s not a quick fix and continues to be something I’m working on,’ he continued.

He said he feels ‘happier, healthier and more energised than I have for the majority of my adult life.’

Christian added: ‘I’m looking forward to 2025 and continuing to work on myself and my health and hope to leave this issue behind in 2024.’

Christian’s candid post came after he sparked speculation about cosmetic surgery after unveiling his bold look at the ARIA awards.

Following his appearance, cosmetic experts weighed in on his facial ‘transformation’, speculating that dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments may have been behind his new look.

Lauren Robson, director of Lilly Cosmetic Clinic, suggested Christian’s cheeks had possibly been injected with dermal filler. 

‘Instead of creating stronger masculine features, they’ve created a more feminised cheek by lifting and contouring,’ she explained.

‘In the lower face, they’ve enhanced the angles and definition by widening his jawline and defining the gonial angle.’

Lauren also noted that Christian’s top lip appeared overfilled.

‘A more subtle filler approach would have been more aesthetically pleasing,’ she said.

Additionally, she pointed out that anti-wrinkle injections likely lifted his brows while also keeping forehead and frown lines at bay.

Meanwhile, Body Sculpting Clinic’s Dominika Gialouris also suggested that Christian had received dermal fillers, combined with advanced treatments like HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound).

‘Filler works by integrating with the skin’s tissue to restore or enhance volume and structure,’ Dom explained.
