Celebrities and Injectables: Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes Jokes About Hollywood Beauty Standards Go Viral
The 2025 Golden Globes became more than just another awards show when host Nikki Glaser brought down the house with her hilarious takes on Hollywood’s open secret about cosmetic enhancements.
Her opening monologue had the audience in stitches as she delivered gem after gem:
and continued with:
“I love how meditating removes your eyelids,”
– taking playful jabs at the common celebrity practice of crediting their youthful appearances to wellness routines.
Ariana Grande’s Botox and Filler Comments: From Transparency to Taking it Back
And just a week or two ago, The Palm Springs International Film Festival became a trending topic when Ariana Grande initially credited –
“her good friends Botox and Juvéderm”
– during her acceptance speech.
Her subsequent backtrack and claim of being “clean” from injectables for four years sparked widespread discussion about celebrity beauty standards and transparency.
Which Celebrities Get Botox? Hollywood Stars Who Talk About Injectables vs Those Who Don’t
The celebrity landscape is increasingly divided between those who embrace transparency and those who maintain privacy about their aesthetic choices.
On the transparency side, we have figures like:
- Chrissy Teigen, who regularly documents her cosmetic procedures on social media
- Gwyneth Paltrow, who openly discusses her experiences with various treatments
- Kelly Ripa, who candidly shares her Botox journey
Meanwhile, others maintain what many call “beauty privacy,” choosing not to discuss potential enhancements. This approach isn’t necessarily about denial – it’s often framed as a personal choice to keep certain aspects of self-care private.
Natural-Looking Injectables 2025: The New Era of Undetectable Botox and Fillers
As we enter what aesthetic professionals are calling “The Era of the Undetectable Injectable,” the landscape becomes even more interesting.
Advanced techniques and new products are making it increasingly difficult to detect whether someone has had work done. This technological progress raises fascinating questions:
- Will this make celebrities more comfortable admitting to treatments since results are more natural-looking?
- Or will the undetectable nature of these treatments make disclosure seem unnecessary?
The Personal Choice Paradigm
Perhaps the most important evolution in this conversation is the growing consensus that these choices are deeply personal. Whether someone chooses to be transparent about their treatments or keep them private, both approaches are increasingly well received and respected.
As Nikki Glaser’s Golden Globes monologue demonstrated, we can and should acknowledge the prevalence of aesthetic treatments without judgment.
What This Means for Medspa Professionals
For medspa owners and practitioners, these shifting attitudes offer valuable insights:
The Value of Discretion: Some clients may want complete privacy, while others might be happy to share their experiences on social media
Natural Results Are Key: The trend toward undetectable treatments aligns with most clients’ desires for subtle enhancement
Creating Safe Spaces: Medspas can position themselves as judgment-free zones where all approaches to beauty are respected
The impact of Glaser’s candid commentary resonated far beyond the awards ceremony. Aesthetic nurse injector Lizzie Callahan – @looksbylizzie from Fairfax, VA – shared clips of the monologue on Instagram, garnering over 30,000 likes and an outpouring of supportive comments.
The viral post demonstrated how Glaser’s approach to discussing aesthetic treatments – honest, humorous, and judgment-free – strikes a chord with both industry professionals and the general public alike.
