Kristen finally has a new IMDb profile picture

When I posted this, MovieChat hadn't yet made the change, Carved. I'm guessing they have to manually update an actor's profile page as it doesn't seem to be updated automatically.

I actually contemplated whether I should post this as the changing of an actor's profile pic is kinda trivial and superficial, but this was a big deal amongst many fans who once perused Kristen's now defunct IMDb message board page.

Agreed Ron, as her previous pic looked like someone just took an impromptu snapshot of her, as there were lots of people in the background. I could be wrong, but the new picture on the other hand looks like it was taken in a studio by a photographer intent on making her appear as attractive as possible. And being that she is a world renowned fashion model for Chanel, one would think her profile pic would be fitting and becoming of this.

Yes Evoken, an actress as pretty as her deserves a picture that flatters instead of detracts from her beauty. While appearance isn't everything, in Hollywood looks are king, so I'm baffled as to why it took so long to change the photo.

Good question. I've assumed that IMDB makes the changes, but that's just an assumption. Her other pic was from some years ago at a Twilight event, as CKid mentions, so it was more than time for a change.

I think that the actor's agent, working upon instructions from the actor, requests the change as well as providing the new photo that the actor wants used.
Please keep in mind, this is only what I believe. I have no factual evidence to support my belief, but that's what makes the most sense to me.

You're not the first I've heard, comparing that unflattering pic to Little Nicky--one of the reasons why many of Kristen's fans circa the IMDb Message board days, wanted the picture changed. One fan in particular, I forgot the name, suggested we all contact IMDb and voice our opinion in hopes of getting it changed, but to no avail.

While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, taken in the context of the cosmetic industry being hit hard in large part because of COVID-19 lockdowns and mask mandates which have contributed greatly to a huge drop off in sales of blush and lipstick, may explain why many women avoided blush and got accustomed to the natural look.

However, in the fashion world, draped blush was definitely trending during fashion shows throughout 2021. Take for example Anna Sui who was named one of the top 5 fashion icons of the decade. In Sui's haute couture shows, her runway models wore highly pigmented hues on their cheekbones and she predicts statement blush will make a huge comeback in 2022.

It's no secret that many of Kristen's fashion cues come from the world's leading fashion houses as she herself sports haute couture wardrobes and makeup for the luxury fashion house Chanel. I personally love the way Kristen draped blush for this pic as it gives the illusion of a more sculpted bone structure. For a woman who already possesses enviable cheekbones and jawline, it made her facial features appear all the more perfect.

As far as the mainstream look, the classic rosy cheeks/old-school blush look is predicted to be in while the no-makeup look will be out. Not sure if this has more to do more with the luxury fashion houses setting the trend or is it because of immensely popular videos on social networking sites which have led to an explosion in blush sales, namely the trending "underpainting" videos going viral on TikTok.
