Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleGolfer Tiger Woods faced intense online scrutiny after his March 2026 controversy involving a driving under the influence (DUI) arrest and a rollover car crash in Florida. The 50-year-old then halted his career and prioritized his health and recovery. Recently, during the September 2, 2026 hearing in Florida, Tiger changed his plea in his DUI case from not guilty to no contest after accepting a last-minute deal.
Notably, Tiger Woods' girlfriend, Vanessa Trump was also spotted at the professional golfer's DUI hearing. Throughout the controversy and trial, she supported him, despite dealing with her own cancer battle. In her latest appearance, she looked quite gaunt and worn out, prompting fans to revisit her earlier, healthier photos.
The internet has mixed opinions about Vanessa Trump's appearance in the Florida court on September 2, 2026. Many lauded her as an ideal girlfriend who chose to stand by Tiger Woods during his lowest moments, despite her battle with cancer. In contrast, others slammed her for allegedly making bad choices in men or for her continued use of her ex-husband, Donald Trump Jr's surname.
Vanessa and Tiger's rare joint appearance sparked widespread public chatter, ranging from their looks to their past and present relationships. Many pointed out how thin and worn-out she looked, likely due to a combination of factors, including her ailment and her boyfriend's rehabilitation and DUI controversy. Amid that, netizens dug up her old photos, in which she seems younger, healthier, and much more radiant.
In Vanessa Trump's earlier photos, her face appears fuller, with a natural smile line. Her hair also seems to be a darker shade (brownish-blonde), which accentuates her facial features even more. Some netizens claimed that Vanessa looked like she aged naturally during her marriage to Donald Trump Jr. However, following their 2018 divorce, she seemed to have undergone a noticeable facial transformation, with many wondering if she had resorted to cosmetic surgery.
After Vanessa started dating golf legend Tiger Woods, netizens felt that she had gotten even prettier than before. When Tiger flaunted his lady love on Instagram in March 2025, many commented on her looks. "Vanessa doesn't age," wrote one. Another commenter stated, "She is beautiful." A third called them, "Gorgeous couple." However, following her cancer diagnosis and the rough patch for Tiger, many noted her gaunt physique, claiming she looks like she aged a lot in a few months.
Experts believe Vanessa Trump may have gone under the knife to enhance her appearance between her divorce and the start of her relationship with Tiger. Her face appeared to be quite slimmer than before. Portland plastic surgeon Dr Sean McNally told the Daily Mail that he thinks Vanessa had upper blepharoplasty done to make her upper eyelids look less heavy.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess tissue from the eyelids, which can help improve the appearance of tired or sagging eyes. Sean McNally then claimed that Vanessa's tight and youthful-looking skin, devoid of many fine lines or wrinkles, suggests she uses Botox.
Sean further claimed that she might also be getting laser treatment or BBL/IPL to prevent skin pigmentation and make he appear a lot more radiant. The plastic surgeon was quoted as saying:
"Her upper eyelids look less heavy, which would be from an upper blepharoplasty...It definitely looks like she's [also] utilizing lasers or BBL/IPL to fight pigmentation."
Notably, in Vanessa's recent appearance, fans feel that she looks her age, as she has stopped undergoing cosmetic treatments due to her cancer diagnosis. Notably, the chatter around her alleged cosmetic surgeries and facial transformation over the years is entirely based on fan speculation, and she has never made any public comments about it.
