Kardashians unveiled: AI reveals stars sans surgery

In some circles, the Kardashians are symbols of the contemporary beauty canon. But how would the celebrities look if they had never undergone plastic surgery? Thanks to artificial intelligence, we can now find out.

The Kardashian Family took the American showbiz scene by storm. The American reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" brought worldwide fame to the entire family, and the famous sisters earned millions of dollars by running numerous businesses. Since 2007, when the show's first episode aired, the celebrities have undergone huge transformations, often due to aesthetic medical procedures. Kris Jenner and her daughters have had a series of plastic surgeries, making them resemble their former selves less and less.

Reality show stars who air on the Disney+ platform have been repeatedly accused of setting unattainable beauty standards. This has complicated the appearance of many young women worldwide. Looking at photos taken over the years, one can see clear differences in their appearance—changed not only by surgeons but also enhanced by professional photo editing programs.

Many celebrities take advantage of the benefits of aesthetic medicine. However, the Kardashians are a particular example under the scrutiny of public opinion. Some time ago, a video on TikTok showed what the famous Kardashian sisters would look like without plastic surgery. In the video, created by Australian internet personalities operating under the pseudonym Vandahood Live, artificial intelligence was used to show how American celebrities might look today if they had never gone under the knife. The video received numerous comments.

The algorithm was kind to them anyway. Kylie and Khloe changed drastically. Only Kourtney resembles her former self; the rest do not at all. They used to look beautiful—different but beautiful, read one comment.
