The internet is obsessed with Karoline Leavitt. Be it her fashion choice, be it her personal life or be it her fiery takedown of reporters, people are always discussing and speculating about her. Oh, we can’t miss the botox rumors either.
Something similar happened on Wednesday. It was just another day at the podium for Karoline Leavitt, until the cameras zoomed in.
At just 27 years old, the White House press secretary should be radiating a youthful glow. Instead, at her June 11 press briefing, Leavitt looked like she’d borrowed makeup tips from a 1980s soap opera star. The result? A look that had some people confusing her age with… well, her husband’s.
I abhor Karoline Leavitt’s very existence. She needs to cool it with all that lying and all that makeup. https://t.co/GB5EsyRRJd

To be fair, Karoline’s always had a thing for dressing a little more Capitol Hill wife than Gen Z power player. But this time, her makeup joined the rebellion. Her lipstick, already under fire for looking a little too plumped up, was aggressively overlined. That kind of give the impression she’d just ate a cherry popsicle.
Her lashes, meanwhile, were clumping together like they’d held a team meeting and decided, “let’s give cartoon energy today.” And the rest of her face? Way too flat, with none of the contouring magic that usually brings dimension and youthfulness.
It wasn’t just a bad makeup day. It was a day that made her look less like a 20-something at the podium and more like someone in a First Wives Club sequel.
Naturally, the internet had thoughts. “She needs to cool it with all that lying and all that makeup,” one X user wrote. Another added fuel to the roast, tweeting a meme-worthy photo of Leavitt looking stunned with the caption: “That moment Karoline Leavitt realized her boss’s tariffs may affect L’Oreal products, mascara and lip gloss.”
Oh she’s Trump ready I see 🤔

This isn’t the first time Leavitt’s look has sparked debate. Just last week, a storm brewed online over her real age. Many netizens were stunned to learn she was still in her 20s. And after this latest glam misstep, it’s easy to see why so many guessed she was a decade older.
It didn’t help that her husband, who’s 59, is often brought up when her age gap marriage hits headlines. Some joked that her makeup might actually be a strategic choice: the older she looks, the smaller the gap appears.
To be fair, Karoline has made it clear she’s not a fan of people picking apart her personal life. But with this latest look giving serious pageant mom meets conservative power suit energy, the internet wasn’t about to keep quiet.
And hey, if the mascara clumps and the lip liner smears, someone on X is definitely going to say it.
