Why am I unable to recognize Britney?

[princessmimi]

I know, right?

I thought I was the only one who thought this!

Its hard to believe that the once vivacious full of life young girl she was turned into this broken traumatized person

but then again, she's been through ALOT in the past decade.

So I understand.

Its also a shame that she aged so rapidly and I dont get also why her once perfect smile has a gap either.

 

Sorry if it sounds like im bashing Britney but im just as confused as the OP on how different she's become not only mentally but physically

As far as the age thing there’s the obvious ones mentioned tanning/cigarettes/mental stress/trauma/illness...one that I’ve often thought of Brit haven’t brought up and in addition to the factors above is Britney peaked early, she never looked her age, look at the pictures back in the day, take Oops photoshoot that is not what an 18 year old usually looks like in the face, she always looked at least a few years older than she was. And there were visible signs of aging at 25, more than most. Her face changed a lot from her teens to mid 20s more rapidly then the majority. Some people just do look older than their age.

I do agree.

I think she looked at least early to mid 20s when she debuted especially with the supposed "breast implants".

She always did look mature but I guess the smoking, tanning and all the stress from the conservatorship really messed her face up.

I love Britney but she looked like she was in her 50s back when she was in her 30s!

NOT racist at all but I have heard that most white people dont age well.

Idk if thats true or not

Honestly that’s a really good reason she was so hot af at 18-24ish. Think of stars who age slower, Miley? Looked like a kid, Salina? Looked like a kid.

True.

I also think Ariana Grande is another example of someone who looks really young.

She's only 3 months older than me but looks like she's 15-16.

(NOT that I look old cause I dont)

Yes with those breast implants and face she was passing for 25 at 18

Her mom is sick if she gave her permission to do that while she was underage

Here is a timeline of Brit, I’ll use appearances because photoshoots they can make her younger with editing an such and rarely show signs of aging.

If I didn’t know I would never think this was a 16 year old 

I would also never think this was an 18 year old

I would never think she was 20 here

Would never guess she was 23 here

I would never guess she was 24/25 here 

 

27 here

 

This is 33...I’m this age right now and I can tell you people my age do not usually look like this she definitely has always looked older than her age throughout her career but this was a bit shocking it seemed like she’s (I’ll be conservative) and say 10 years older than her age and least.

 

34

 

35

37

38...brunette hair makes her look younger or maybe is Sam younger juices  I know she loves being blonde but the real house wife blonde ages her. But can you see how amazing did she look here?

 

40... she has not done an appearance obviously so it’s taken from social media, it probably has some type of filter/blur on it it, still this is the youngest Britney has looked in a long time, problem is for me I think it looks the least like her than any of the other pictures in this timeline, I think it’s probably a filter though and her face actually looks more like her...I hope. I swear she did something else to her face besides the mouth recently because this doll like doe eyed appearance. Her features don’t look like before, even in the aging photos above they still looked like Britney just older than she should be, but this to me is kinda alien like. 

I love her, and I think her primney hot factor is she did look older- but that’s a double edge sword (or something like that)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah it was definitely around her mid 20s when she started aging fast but obviously thats when her life started falling apart.

I think its crazy how she was only in her 30s in the pic yet looked 15-20 yrs older.

I also think her plastic surgery aged her.

Idk about u but thats how i feel

Her mom is sick and I truly believe gave her 17 year old daughter to get a **** job...I would say she was kinda flat...

Wow the 2nd pic is definitely a major contrast from the 1st.

The only thing I do wonder is did she also have her butt done?

Cause she looked like she had a big butt during 1999 

however it got smaller in 2000.

Idk if u noticed that

She lost weight from 1999 to 2000, I think that’s when she was doing thousands of sit-ups daily and also think that’s probably when she started taking adderall or similar stimulant. To go as a hard as she did for that many years, you need a little help. Her personality became more energized and hyperactive around this time which if you don’t have ADHD stimulants have that effect. She was also seen with weight loss pills. Her butt probably shrank a bit due to those factors. 

Hm true that makes sense.

So she possibly did gain weight in her chest area but then when she added the implants,

they got even bigger.

She looked like she was a D or DD.

 

That does make sense that she was probably using diet pills cause she did become really skinny and built around 2001.

The 'Slave' body wasnt all natural, she probably did use pills and the other stimulants u said

[leelee123]

Looking through the timeline photographs another poster showed the fat around her eyes changed dramatically by the age of 33. That could be the natural effects of age, or maybe Britney used eyelash serum which is now known to cause periorbital fat loss (causes an aged look), or maybe she had a blepharoplasty (I assume thats unlikely since Britney wouldn't have been given the downtime to recover). We will never know, but the eyes are the biggest part in looking like ones self.

Besides that, Britney has worn heavy stage makeup for years and had a lot of sun exposure, had lip fillers which changes the lip, and in general lived a hard life being overworked by team con without much of a budget for self-care. There's a reason we say that you can tell someone has had a "hard life". Stress has an impact on how you look and can cause someone to age more rapidly. Add in all of the psychological trauma and medication which has changed the look behind her eyes as well. Not to mention lithium causes a dull look in the eye, dries out the skin and can cause wrinkles too. I don't know how long she was on that but that could explain a lot.

Still to be honest if you were expecting a 40 year old woman to strongly resemble her 20 year old self that would be a folly in the best of times (I'm 36 and things are pretty cushy for me but I feel like I look like a potato now ), but Britney has been through the wringer and then some. It's hard to say what she would look like if she hadn't been in the conservatorship. In a way she IS a different woman after everything she has been through. She's learned hard lessons and paid a heavy price and it shows. 

So yes I agree that she looks pretty different now, but she still looks beautiful and I have noticed that she's looking (and more importantly feeling) better and better all the time now that she's free and she can afford to engage in the self-care she deserves.

She was photographed with diet pills once but my guess is the real weight loss was from stimulants+  also gave her the energy to do a grueling impossible schedule that no one else was doing at the time. Also stimulants could push her workout harder. None of this is healthy and add in the Red Bull’s that I believe she was addicted to but many young stars use stimulants like addrall...hell they used to tell models in the 80s to lose weight and then give them coke to do it.

Oh wow well thats true.

There is actually a CNN interview of her from 2003 and she just seemed so jittery and out of it.

Idk if u know which one im talking about.

Its the one where she's wearing a short blonde bob wig with red highlights

THIS BRITNEY?

Yep I know exactly the one.

Do you think that she was on ***** in that interview or the stimulants u mentioned?

I just wonder if she really did ***** in her early career.

I saw a thread on here claiming that Britney did ectasy or w**d when she was in Sweden making the BOMT album.

Idk if thats true or not

[thankunext]

Maybe because you look at her as Britney the performer and not Britney as a person. I don't think she's changed a lot, compared to her Chaotic-era for example. She's still this simple southern gal
