CAROLINE BULLOCK: Melania Trump’s changing face is perhaps the most fascinating thing about a woman who has so little to say

Stormy Daniels? She doesn’t get a look. Incendiary rumors of a rift with her stepchildren? No mention.

Then again, Melania Trump usually doesn’t have much to say.

If you want a real bombshell in her overhyped new memoir “Melania,” check out the old modeling photos from the late 1980s that she reprinted — and which seem to suggest that the former first lady has undergone a makeover in the intervening time. with a large budget has undergone years.

The photos were taken in her native Slovenia, when Melania was still a teenager, and show a fresh-faced girl in leggings – almost unrecognizable in a police lineup.

In fact, Melania Knauss (as she was before she became the third Mrs. Donald J. Trump) was so striking that she dared to bare it all in several now-infamous photo shoots.

2024: Naturally, innovations that match the arm candy of billionaires tend to be transformative.

That smooth Slovenian sphynx now seems a world away from the cat-eyed glamazon partner we know today.

She seems to have fully embraced an all-American glamor with her Jackie-O power suits and permanent big hair blow-dry.

Of course, innovations that match the arm candy of billionaires tend to be transformative.

But if the raw material is so genetically blessed, shouldn’t the approach simply be one of minor embellishment? guild the lily?

She is far from alone in being a prominent, famous beauty of a certain age who has been hardened by age.

Madonna is in a league of her own, whose slow, sad descent into extremity – no doubt encouraged by a group of yes-people on the payroll, who go along with the increasingly bizarre and crooked demands of the fading megastar – is a sad sight to behold. .

Recently celebrating her 66th birthday in Italy, her newest 20-something boy toy looked more like her caregiver guiding her through the cobblestone streets.

The former Queen of Pop appeared to be holding golf balls in her cheeks, while her narrowed eyes looked more like the result of a severe allergic reaction.

And then there’s Cindy Crawford, whose famously sultry eyes now appear shocked, while her once perfectly proportioned facial features are now skewed by a seemingly squarer, more masculine jaw.

But the changing face of the A-list is especially problematic when it distracts from day-to-day work.

Take Nicole Kidman, 57, who struggles to express emotion in her latest show on Netflix, “The Perfect Couple,” a detective drama set around a fancy wedding in Nantucket.

Deftly playing another clean-cut, high-maintenance, wealthy woman in the mold of her previous vehicles, “Big Little Lies” and “Nine Perfect Strangers,” Kidman proves that it’s not her acting skills that are currently being tested.

Becoming a parent is a privilege. I hope Kidman and co know that.
