Actress Minnie Driver, 54, recently shared her thoughts on the growing trend of cosmetic procedures in a candid video posted to social media. Driver, who appeared makeup-free, questioned the increasing prevalence of cosmetic enhancements, humorously asking, “Guys, are we all getting new faces for Christmas? Where are you getting them from? Do you think they’re going to run out? And does anyone have a discount code?” She went on to quip, “Quite hard to put under the tree,” as she addressed her audience with a serious expression.
Driver’s comments come amid a broader conversation among celebrities about cosmetic procedures. In recent months, stars such as Jill Zarin and Tamra Judge from Real Housewives have opened up about undergoing facelifts, while the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives discussed using nitrous oxide during Botox treatments on their Hulu show. Earlier this fall, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice shared a TikTok video documenting her lip filler removal procedure.
Driver, who has been open about her skincare routine, also offered a glimpse into her glowing complexion earlier this year. In November, the actress posted barefaced selfies on Instagram, acknowledging that she rarely shares unretouched photos. She explained that her radiant appearance was due to the work of her friend Keren, a renowned cosmetic entrepreneur, who has worked with high-profile clients like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, and Kim Kardashian. “I’ve been ill, I’ve felt every one of my years recently, and I’m pretty astonished that my friend Keren can make me look like this: Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wines,” she wrote.
Fans responded warmly, with one commenting, “I still love your energy and thank you for posting this. You are lovely.” Another fan wrote, “Still as gorgeous. I’ve been fighting some awful flu thing for nearly 3 weeks. Wish you better xxx.”
In July, Driver also reflected on the experience of aging in Hollywood, remarking that women over 40 are now able to embrace their stride. “We’re allowed to be over 40 now,” she said during a panel discussion, emphasizing that women are finally being recognized beyond just their sexual appeal.
Driver’s recent comments highlight the ongoing discourse around beauty standards and the pressures faced by celebrities, especially women, in an industry that often emphasizes youth.
