Brooke Rollins' Face Transformation Couldn't Be More Different From Her Peers
United States Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins could easily blend into the sea of pro-Trump GOP women, but she doesn't. She's somehow dodged the "Mar-a-Lago face" trend and not become one of its worst offenders, and because she's so in step with her Trump-loving peers, we have to ask: Is her look completely natural, or did she just score a surgeon who believes in subtlety? To get a professional opinion, Glam spoke exclusively to Dr. Samuel Golpanian, a double-board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.
After reviewing multiple snapshots of 53-year-old Rollins over the years, he shares a simple analysis: "It doesn't appear she's had much of anything. [...] Potentially a rhinoplasty, although that may be her native nose." Dr. Golpanian notes that there could be some Botox in the mix, but ultimately, Rollins' look is more natural than not. "She looks great for her age, really natural," he says.
That's a big deal because "natural" isn't exactly a word we'd use for the GOP glam squad — and we're not shaming. We love a good tweak, and the last 100 years of plastic surgery have done wonders for confidence everywhere. But when an entire political circle starts serving the same features, it stops feeling like body positivity and starts looking like a membership requirement. If everyone has to look a certain way, what does that say to women who look nothing like that? This is exactly why Rollins is such an outlier when you compare her to the Mar-a-Lago crowd.
Brooke Rollins' approach to beauty treatments seems to be different from her colleagues
You probably already know "Mar-a-Lago face" when you see it: snatched, frozen skin, arched brows, heavy makeup, overfilled lips, and tight cheekbones. For a certain crowd, it's camera-ready 24/7, even though it unnaturally wipes out wrinkles, crow's feet, and any extra skin on the face. Brooke Rollins, on the other hand, still has some of these natural signs of aging, and she doesn't seem to be trying to erase them.
So, what's her secret? How does she ditch the aging-is-bad rhetoric and still look good? During our exclusive chat, Dr. Samuel Golpanian tells us that he believes Rollins' looks come down to a mix of good genetics and a solid skincare regimen. "Using retinol or tretinoin and wearing good sunscreen makes a huge difference. Those products improve skin texture, boost collagen, and help prevent early signs of aging," he says. He adds that starting a solid skincare routine as early as possible can help you "look much younger in your 40s, 50s, and beyond."
But beyond solid genes and good skincare, the biggest difference between Rollins and the "Mar-a-Lago face" crowd is that she's leaned into beauty procedures that subtly enhance her features, not dramatically change them. She also seems to have realized one of the biggest skincare truths regarding anti-aging: Pro-youth or anti-aging campaigns for older women are a form of age-shaming. Beauty procedures should prevent premature or early aging, but they shouldn't demonize them as a natural part of life. Rollins' face transformation might not be the norm yet, but we hope she inspires women who'd rather go the natural route to find the bravery to choose it.
