'AI faces': Celebs with features so perfect they don't look real - as cosmetic surgeons reveal how everyone wants to copy them

Full lips, sculpted cheekbones, tiny noses and flawless skin have become the unofficial blueprint for beauty on red carpets and social media. But experts are warning that individuality is disappearing as stars and influencers increasingly appear to share the same polished, almost computer-generated features.Dubbed 'Slop Face' or 'copy and paste face', the look is defined by poreless skin, high cheekbones, cat or fox-like eyes, plumped lips and sharp, sculpted jawlines. And it's no longer just an Instagram phenomenon, with cosmetic surgeons warning that AI is fuelling unrealistic expectations among patients. One in seven cosmetic surgeons (15 per cent) shared they have had a patient attend an appointment with an idealised image of themselves that they hope to replicate in real life. Using ChatGPT and other AI platforms, people can create seemingly flawless versions of themselves - complete with impossibly snatched waistlines and perfectly defined faces - despite them often being impossible to achieve in real life. The trend is now seemingly seeping into Hollywood, where a generation of beautiful stars are increasingly sporting the same tiny frames, huge eyes, button noses, plumped lips and glossy voluminous hair - features that are prized in the world of AI.So, who are the celebrities with the ultimate 'AI face,' what makes their features the gold standard for almost hyper-realistic perfection, and are can they truly be achieved through cosmetic and plastic surgery? Here is what our experts, Dr Ross Perry, Dr Ducu, and Dr Apul Parikh, have to say... Feline 'cat' eyes An upturned, elongated eye shape creates that instantly recognisable 'snatched' look, with the outer corners sitting higher than the inner corners, as seen on Kendall Jenner An upturned, elongated eye shape creates that instantly recognisable 'snatched' look, with the outer corners sitting higher than the inner corners. This gives the face a lifted, symmetrical appearance that is commonly seen in AI beauty filters. Among the celebrities most known for this look are Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Megan Fox and Ariana Grande. Dr Ross Perry, cosmetic doctor and founder of Cosmedics Skin Clinics, said: 'Kendall Jenner is strongly associated with the lifted, almond-shaped ‘cat-eye’ aesthetic, combined with high cheekbones and a relatively narrow lower face. 'It is a very sought-after look because it gives the face a more elongated, lifted appearance. 'There is also a tendency for people to assume that a cosmetic procedure must be responsible for a particular celebrity's appearance when there may be several factors involved. 'What is important clinically is assessing the individual's own anatomy rather than trying to reproduce a celebrity's eye shape exactly.'Exaggerated 'doll' eyes Large, rounded eyes with a visible amount of white around the iris gives the face a youthful, doe-eyed, or almost doll-like quality - as seen on Anne Hathaway Large, rounded eyes with a visible amount of white around the iris gives the face a youthful, doe-eyed, or almost doll-like quality.AI-generated beauty tends to exaggerate eye size as it's one of the quickest way to create an instantly 'perfect' face.'This particular feature is often associated with the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Sydney Sweeney, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried. Dr Ross said: 'Anne Hathaway has become strongly associated with large, expressive eyes, full lips and very symmetrical facial proportions. 'Those characteristics photograph exceptionally well and are now common components of AI-generated beauty imagery. 'Her look illustrates how the current ideal can be created by combining several individually desirable features rather than relying on one dramatic alteration. 'The risk is that patients start to see normal facial characteristics, such as smaller eyes or less prominent lips as defects simply because they don't match the celebrity template.'Full, plumped lips AI often creates lips that are perfectly symmetrical and plump - as seen on Kylie Jenner - without any of the natural, considerably 'irregular' elements found on real facesA fuller upper and lower lip, with a defined Cupid's bow and balanced proportions, is one of the most recognisable attributes of the modern beauty ideal. AI often creates lips that are perfectly symmetrical and plump without any of the natural, considerably 'irregular' elements found on real faces. Stars celebrated for this particular feature include Kylie Jenner, Angelina Jolie, Sabrina Carpenter and Emily Ratajkowski. Referring to fuller lips seen on the likes of Kylie Jenner and Sabrina Carpenter, Dr Apul Parikh of Dr Apul Parikh Clinic, on behalf of Allegan Aesthetics, said: 'Fuller lips have become one of the most recognisable markers of the current beauty landscape, mostly because they create a sense of softness and facial balance.'AI tends to exaggerate this much further, showing lips that are exceptionally full, symmetrical and perfectly defined. 'The issue is that AI doesn’t account for the individual anatomy of a person’s lips or how they naturally relate to the rest of their face. 'A proportion that looks harmonious on an AI-generated face may not translate naturally to a real person, which can lead to unrealistic expectations around what is actually achievable.'Small, straight, button nose Kylie Jenner, Megan Fox (pictured), Emma Stone, and Ariana Grande are among those famed for their 'perfectly' shaped nosesA small, narrow nose with a straight bridge and neat tip can make other facial features appear larger and more defined. It is also said to be one of the features frequently requested by cosmetic-surgery patients who have used filtered or AI-enhanced photographs as their reference.Kylie Jenner, Megan Fox, Emma Stone, and Ariana Grande are among those famed for their 'perfectly' shaped noses.Dr Ross said: 'Ariana Grande has been associated for years with a very small, refined nose, lifted-looking eyes and a defined pout, alongside a slim, tapered lower face. 'Together those features create the petite, doll-like aesthetic that has become extremely popular online. The important thing is that the overall effect comes from the relationship between all those features, rather than one isolated procedure. 'Trying to make a patient's nose smaller, for example, without considering their chin, cheeks and overall facial proportions can actually make the face look less balanced.'Sculpted jawline A sharply defined jaw like Ariana Grande's creates the illusion of a more structured, symmetrical face and helps produce that 'snatched' appearance that is often replicated by AIA sharply defined jaw creates the illusion of a more structured, symmetrical face and helps produce that 'snatched' appearance that is prized in the modern beauty world.AI beauty tools also tend to remove softness around the lower face, leaving an almost digitally sculpted outline that is seen on celebrities like Ariana Grande, Bella Hadid, Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie. Dr Ducu, Aesthetic Doctor & Founder, Dr. Ducu Clinics, said: 'Ariana's highly defined lower face and polished overall appearance reflect the increasing popularity of a sharp jawline and a more refined facial contour.'A defined jawline is now one of the most commonly requested characteristics in aesthetic consultations.'Dr Ross said: 'Megan Fox has long been associated with a very symmetrical, sculpted facial aesthetic, particularly a narrow, straight-looking nose, defined cheekbones, full lips and a strong but relatively slim jawline. 'Those are all features that frequently appear in AI-generated ideal faces. The difficulty is that patients can become fixated on individual measurements, wanting their nose to look exactly like a celebrity's, for example without considering how that feature works with the rest of their face. 'Cosmetic medicine should be about facial harmony rather than creating a carbon copy of somebody else's appearance.'High, prominent cheekbones In AI-generated faces, they typically appear unnaturally prominent because they help create a more striking, symmetrical facial structure - as seen in real life on Bella Hadid High cheekbones give the face definition and create the light-and-shadow contrast associated with heavily edited photographs. In AI-generated faces, they typically appear unnaturally prominent because they help create a more striking, symmetrical facial structure. In the celebrity world, stars like Angelina Jolie, Keira Knightley, Bella Hadid, and Margot Robbie are most known for their enviably prominent cheekbones. Dr Ross said: 'Bella Hadid has become almost synonymous with the modern ‘fox-eye’ or cat-eye aesthetic, elongated eyes that appear to sweep upwards towards the temples, combined with very prominent cheekbones and a narrow, refined nose. 'Those proportions create an extremely sculpted appearance, which is very close to the kind of face that AI image generators tend to produce. 'The problem is that these features are being viewed as a package, rather than as individual characteristics. 'A patient may bring in a photograph and ask for the same eyes, nose and cheekbones, but their underlying bone structure may be completely different. 'Cosmetic treatments can alter soft tissue and definition, but they cannot simply recreate another person's facial architecture.'Full, thick eyebrows Gigi Hadid is well-known for her thick eyebrows that AI beauty filters tend to favour Thick, dense brows frame the eyes and create a stronger, more youthful-looking face. AI beauty filters tend to favour brows that are perfectly even, full and neatly shaped - with none of the natural gaps or asymmetry seen in real eyebrows.Celebrities celebrated for this particular feature include Gigi Hadid, Lily Collins, Cara Delevingne and Dua Lipa.Poreless, 'glassy' and youthful skin Perhaps the biggest giveaway of an AI-enhanced face is skin without pores, pigmentation, fine lines or texture - and stars praised for this feature include Hailey Bieber Perhaps the biggest giveaway of an AI-enhanced face is skin without pores, pigmentation, fine lines or texture - a feature that appears in countless filters across Instagram, TikTok and specialist editing apps. The result is the increasingly popular 'glass skin', dewy or matte effect - smooth, luminous and almost unnaturally flawless. Stars that are praised for having near-perfect skin include Lindsay Lohan, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Zendaya.Dr Ducu said: 'Hailey's influence is particularly visible in the demand for exceptionally healthy-looking, glowing skin. 'The so-called glazed skin aesthetic has become hugely influential, with smooth, luminous and seemingly flawless skin now forming a major part of the modern beauty ideal.'Dr Ross added: 'Gigi Hadid has the combination of relatively full lips, defined cheekbones, smooth skin and strong facial symmetry that photographs extremely well. 'Interestingly he modern AI face doesn't always mean an obviously altered or exaggerated face, it can also mean taking naturally attractive characteristics and removing virtually every perceived imperfection. 'That is where expectations can become unrealistic. Real faces have asymmetry, texture and movement, whereas the celebrity image people are responding to may have been carefully styled, lit, posed and edited.' Voluminous hair Thick, glossy hair with dramatic volume adds to the impression of youth and health, while also making the overall silhouette look more glamorous, famously just like Sabrina CarpenterThick, glossy hair with dramatic volume adds to the impression of youth and health, while also making the overall silhouette look more glamorous. AI-generated beauty frequently exaggerates both length and density to create an almost ethereal appearance that is often seen on the likes of Sabrina Carpenter, Blake Lively and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Tiny, snatched waistline Stars like Zendaya are known to have dramatically snatched waistlines that AI often strives to replicate A dramatically narrow waist creates the hourglass proportions that have become a staple of social media beauty filters. AI can manipulate the waist without showing the physical limits that would exist on a real body, making the proportions appear almost mathematically perfect.But in the real world, stars like Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa, are especially known for their miniscule waists. In reference to Kim Kardashian's waistline, Dr Apul said: 'The "snatched" waist is another example of AI taking an existing beauty ideal and pushing it far beyond what is naturally achievable. 'AI can create an exaggerated hourglass silhouette with an exceptionally narrow waist and perfectly balanced proportions. 'But our bodies are not designed around a single aesthetic ratio - bone structure, ribcage, pelvis and genetics all play a role in determining someone’s natural shape. When AI imagery presents an extreme silhouette as the norm, it can distort perceptions of what a realistic or healthy body actually looks like.' Hourglass frame The exaggerated hourglass frame - a small waist combined with fuller hips and a fuller bust - has become one of the most recognisable body shapes associated with the social media world, seen on the likes of Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian (pictured)The exaggerated hourglass frame - a small waist combined with fuller hips and a fuller bust - has become one of the most recognisable body shapes associated with the social media world and digitally enhanced imagery itself. AI can create perfectly balanced curves that are difficult, and sometimes impossible, to replicate naturally.But those who have managed to obtain and maintain such figures include Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez.Dr Ross said: 'Kim Kardashian has had a huge influence on the modern hourglass ideal, particularly the combination of a very defined waist with fuller hips and buttocks. 'These proportions have become so familiar on social media that people can forget how unusual some of these proportions are naturally. 'Digital editing and AI can exaggerate the waist-to-hip ratio even further, creating a body shape that may not be realistically achievable for every individual.'
