Did Julia Stiles Ever Get Plastic Surgery? See Her Transformation Over the Years in Photos

Julia Stiles looks rather different from the fresh-faced starlet whom audiences fell in love with in 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You. Some fans wondered whether the star got plastic surgery after she welcomed her second child with husband Preston Cook in January 2022.

The mother of two continued to keep fans guessing whether she has received a facial or body enhancement, specifically after an appearance at a Brooklyn film premiere on June 21, 2021. In Touch reached out to Julia’s rep for comment.

At the time, the Silver Linings Playbook actress attended the premiere of her movie, The God Committee, during the 20th Tribeca Film Festival. She looked gorgeous in a polka-dotted halter maxi-dress. But it was her smooth and less recognizable face that had fans talking.

Julia was always known for her slimmer brown eyes, which seemed to be a bit wider in photos from the event. Her brows also remained enviably high, just like in the days when she was getting smooched by the late Heath Ledger as an 18 year old in their iconic rom-com.

While Julia is still acting in various film and TV roles, she also stepped behind the camera for her directorial film debut in 2021 for the romantic drama Wish You Were Here. She cowrote the film with Renée Carlino based on the latter’s novel, Deadline reported in June of that year. The publication noted that Julia didn’t plan to act in the film and that she had previously honed her directing chops during several episodes of the 2010s TV series Paloma.

Aside from directing, Julia previously played Nicky Parsons in Matt Damon‘s Jason Bourne trilogy, originating the role in 2002 The Bourne Identity and reprising it in 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy and 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum. In 2010, she was nominated for an Emmy Award for her guest role as Lumen Ann Pierce on the Showtime series Dexter. In addition to 10 Things, Julia is beloved by turn of the millennium audiences for 2001’s Save the Last Dance.

Julia starred in Sky Atlantic’s series Riviera from 2017 to 2020, as Georgina Clios. She was most recently seen in the 2022 Amazon Prime series The Lake, and later that year the Columbia University graduate starred in the horror flick Orphan: First Kill. With talent like Julia’s, no wonder she always stays busy.
