Sacre bleu-tox! Amid rumours of an affair with a young lover, has Carla Bruni had a little.. (Fugly)
Daily Mail UK ^ | 3/16/10 | staff

She was once lauded as one of the world's most beautiful women. Before becoming the First Lady of France, her dazzling good looks had captured the hearts of Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton.

But, it seems, age and lifestyle - not to mention those infidelity rumours - have taken their toll on Carla Bruni.

An unflattering close-up shot this week has revealed how the once radiant former model's face is looking tight and stretched, while her skin appears dull and lifeless.

To get to the bottom of 42-year-old Carla's curious look, JENNY STOCKS asked beauty experts to give us their opinions on how she is ageing and what she may be doing to combat the passing of the years..

Which answers the question, "Is bad cosmetic surgery better than no cosmetic surgery?"

I’ve come to the conclusion that there must be only one or two good plastic surgeons. If these people (stars and the like), with all there money can’t find one, there can’t be too many.

Carla needs to use Hunter’s GQ photographer. They are roughly the same age.

No plastic surgery is best. I know several women, 40+, au naturel, and they are breathtaking.

Shave her head and she could be a stand in for Patrick Stewart.

Yowsers—she really didn’t need to to that to herself. If anything Sarko himself could have used the Botox instead.

She looks like that woman who’s turning herself into a cat.

I’ve yet to see any woman improve with plastic surgery. She went from kinda cute to buttfugly

Holy HECK! Didn’t anyone tell her NOT to use Priscilla Presley’s doc???

What is really sad is that this beautiful woman could have done NOTHING to her face ever and aged gracefully and always been prettier than anyone else of her age. On gorgeous women, even aging has its place. I’ve seen women in their 80s that still retained their grace and their “She must have been a gorgeous young woman” appeal.

That Bowie cat is uncanny. And since even David Bowie doesn’t remember with whom he mated in the 80s, we may have found a spawn of his.

Sometimes ladies will look good for a year or two after a mini-lift then, it all starts going badly when they think they need ‘more filler’....LOL! (Their faces always look like a balloon with too much water....HAHAH!)

Less than a year ago she was photographed with Michelle Obama, and she (Carla) looked lovely. Face lift outcomes like this should make everyone think long and hard before undertaking cosmetic surgery. In fact, it probably should be used only for burn victims and other cases of tragic deformity.

There is one woman who has improved with surgery - Jen Aniston. She has had a few tiny things done, though I guess a nose job is not tiny, and she looks better than when she was younger. Also Carol Burnett looked better post surgery in the 90s (I have no idea what she looks like now) than when she was younger.
