Pam Bondi Is Unrecognizable In Old Campaign Photo (But Her Go-To Style Hasn't Changed)

Pam Bondi's career in the political limelight began in 2011, at age 45, when she assumed the role of Florida's first female attorney general. The right-wing pundit held the role for the maximum two terms, leaving office eight years later in 2019. During this time, she had a penchant for wearing outfits that showed off her killer legs, as well as mismatched suit separates, which still remains one of the unflattering styles Pam Bondi can't stop wearing. Clearly, her love of suit jackets is enduring.

After her Florida attorney general stint, she found herself defending a disgraced Donald Trump, which eventually scored her a role in his second White House administration. Since assuming the role, with even more of a public presence, people have frequently commented on her looks, including her dramatic weight loss. Looking back at photos from her state attorney general days, we can see that Pam Bondi is unrecognizable with a fuller physique, even though her outfit habits have hardly changed at all.

Pam Bondi looked unrecognizable (at least compared to today) when she campaigned for Mitt Romney in August 2012, as he challenged Barack Obama for the presidency. Photos from around that time show her with a similar style that includes suit jackets, blouses, and conservative accessories like pearls, but her fuller figure made her seem different. Even in 2015, as she was sworn in as attorney general, we saw a different face on Bondi. A plastic surgeon weighed in on how Pam Bondi's face has transformed over the years, asserting that there's a noticeable change from that era, which can be attributed to her weight loss, and possibly some cosmetic procedures.

Bondi has revealed that she wasn't able to regularly find time to exercise or get her desired eight hours of sleep each night. "Well, I haven't been the best at exercising because I'm always on the road," she told Elysian. "I'm getting up early. I'm always rushing to get ready and out." We assume that taking on the role of attorney general of the United States in 2025 didn't free up her schedule, which has led many to assume she's leaned into Ozempic or another GLP-1 drug for weight management. "Ozempic Pam Bondi needs to share her weight loss secrets with the rest of us," one X user commented. Others have gushed over her skin, speculating whether she's used injectables or other cosmetic procedures to keep under-eye bags and forehead wrinkles at bay. "She's 58! That's a lot of surgery and makeup," another X user said.
