A group of chimpanzees in Zambia adopted novel grooming behaviors that spread through social imitation. A parallel phenomenon appears among wealthy MAGA-aligned individuals who pursue identical, surgically altered facial aesthetics. Among women the look features exaggerated lips, frozen expressions, and extremely bulbous cheeks; men display frozen faces paired with augmented jawlines. Surgeons report a marked rise in male clients seeking stronger jawlines. These surgically produced faces function as conspicuous markers of wealth and in-group belonging rather than natural human appearance. Public figures such as Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem, and Matt Gaetz exemplify the trend. Donald Trump prioritizes staff appearance and television optics, reinforcing a curated, uniform look.
I wouldn't normally be snarky about someone's looks but let's be clear: nobody is born with Mar-a-Lago face. These are not human faces, they are luxury meat-masks meant to signal wealth and in-group belonging. People such as Laura Loomer, Kristi Noem, and Matt Gaetz can afford excellent surgeons and subtle cosmetic work but, unless they've all had botched procedures, it seems they deliberately chose to look like AI-generated caricatures.
Among women the look is characterised by huge lips that look as if they could suck up a small child whole, frozen facial expressions, and cheeks so bulbous you could hide a gerbil underneath them. Men also have the slick frozen faces, but instead of bigger lips they're pairing them with bigger jaws. In recent years, surgeons have reported a large increase of male clients demanding stronger jawlines.
