Celebrities reveal their biggest-ever beauty stuff-ups

Jennifer Aniston made it big on Friends, but it was that iconic hairstyle many of us remember more than her acting. “The Rachel” cut become synonymous with the ’90s, but as it turns out Jen wasn’t all that thrilled with it. “I was not a fan of ‘The Rachel’,” she told Glamour magazine. “That was kind of cringey for me.” One of the reasons she hated it was because it was too hard to maintain.

Jen’s BFF and Friends co-star Courteney Cox has copped a lot of heat for her plastic surgery choices and recently talked about how she now regrets going under the needle. “I have done things that I regret and luckily there are things that dissolve and go away. So that’s good because it’s not always been my best look,” she said on the TV show Running Wild with Bear Grylls. “Sometimes you find yourself trying and then you look at a picture of yourself and you go, ‘Oh God, I look horrible.'”

Glam fashion designer Victoria Beckham has some advice for women, based on her own mistakes: “Sometimes I’ve been turned orange but that’s definitely a look from my past. Being overly tanned is very ageing,” she said adding, “Embrace your natural colour!”

Hands up if relate to Olivia Wilde’s beauty mistake (everyone who lived through the 90s just raise your hand). “When I was 5, after watching my dad shave, I took his razor and shaved my face — including my eyebrows. You look like an alien without eyebrows,” she told InStyle. “Then, in my mid-teens, I plucked them to create that sexy Kate Moss arch. I regret it because I damaged my follicles, and now it’s hard for me to grow thick, bushy brows.”

Cameron Diaz is also not a fan of Botox. “I’ve tried [Botox] before, where it was a little tiny touch of something. It changed my face in such a weird way. I’d rather see my face ageing than a face that doesn’t belong to me at all.”

Natural beauty queen Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her unique treatments but this is one she won’t be trying again. “I’ve probably tried everything. I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I’m 50. I’ll try anything. Except I won’t do Botox again, because I looked crazy. I looked like Joan Rivers!”

Chrissy Teigen might be known for her enviable, caramel, ombré locks but she’s no stranger to a dodgy DIY job. “I dyed my own hair this chocolate cherry colour, and I remember getting into so much trouble because it stained our bathtub,” she confessed to InStyle. “It was this red-black colour and it was a big mistake. I feel like my hair is still recovering from it.”

Kim Kardashian explained on her website that she regrets getting her baby hairs lasered off. She used the permanent procedure to remove the hairs around her hairline on her forehead and nape of neck because: “I would always break out because of them [on my forehead]. I had such a hairy neck. Every photographer would photoshop them out anyway, and I thought I looked better without the baby hairs.” But Kim now says “I miss them. I think they look youthful!”
