Gwyneth Paltrow is looking a little different, huh?
What is behind her altered look that has some comparing her to a famous cartoon character?
The actress’ recent enigmatic social media post unleashed a flood of comments asking about — or accusing her of — getting cosmetic work done.
What is the truth? Is there a simple explanation that doesn’t involve a syringe or a scalpel?
Gwyneth Paltrow looks different in this video
On Saturday, July 19, Gwyneth Paltrow took to her Instagram page to share a video.
The cooking clip shows the actress preparing her version of Korean steak and eggs.
“Made with love, a little heat, and packed with flavor,” she vowed in the caption to the video.
Obviously, many of the Instagram commenters focused upon on-topic commentary.
They praised the actress’ cooking skills or commented on the food, suggesting other ingredients or confessing to feeling hungry.
Others, however, zeroed in upon Paltrow’s lips.
Did she alter her face? Commenters quickly began to speculate with mixed reactions.
To be blunt, her lips seemed to stick out to many fans and followers
“What have you done on your lips?” asked one commenter.
Another reply asked: “Is there something with her lips?”
A more confident Instagram user asserted:
“Something happened to her top lip.”
“I really wish she’d be honest about the work she’s had recently because she sells anti-aging products,” wrote another commenter.
“She looks amazing but like be honest. Especially when that’s what your brand is all about.”
“Mmmmm looks so yum,” a reply praised of the food. “But don’t tell me you’ve done your lips too.”
“Marge Simpson lips,” one Instagram denizen declared.
Several others agreed, drawing comparisons to the The Simpsons character’s sloping upper lip.

Did Gwyneth Paltrow alter her appearance with lip fillers?
In the past, Paltrow has opened up about using injectibles. She has spoken specifically about an anti-aging treatment and trying (but hating) Botox.
As you can see above, people have compared her to Marge Simpson before — two whole years ago, in fact. So this is not so new.
We have to say that the difference from her everyday appearance is there. But the truth behind this altered look could be as simple as pursing her lips in concentration while she cooks.
Not everything is a conspiracy — or even an injectable.
People make all sorts of facial expressions when they’re focusing.
