Kristin Davis’ Stunning Transformation From ‘Sex and the City’ to Now: Did She Get Plastic Surgery?

Actress Kristin Davis has been in the public eye for decades through her work on Melrose PlaceSex and the City and now, the HBO show continuation And Just Like That. The Colorado native’s gorgeous transformation has sparked plastic surgery speculation.

Although Kristin has not talked directly about going under the knife, she insinuated she was wary of injectables like Botox and other procedures during a 2018 interview with New Beauty.

“I’m scared of needles, scared of complications and scared of doing something that looks bad and not being able to go back and fix it,” the Deadly Illusions actress admitted at the time. She noted she enjoys doing CoolSculpting, a noninvasive cryolipolysis procedure that freezes fat cells.

That being said, Kristin previously admitted she’s had ups and downs with her body image as she’s struggled to “fit into the Hollywood standard.”

“I used to go to the gym six days a week, two hours a day. I worked hard,” she told AOL in 2018. “It was a struggle because that was not really my body, and I was killing myself trying to change it.”

While the Couples Retreat actress assured she felt “more sure and confident” than her younger days, she hasn’t completely stopped thinking about her physical appearance. 

“I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to say that that doesn’t concern me or that I don’t think about [beauty standards], but on the other hand, I feel stronger in who I am and that my body is my body and a lot of people love my body,” Kristin said. “Maybe there are people who don’t, but that’s always going to be the case. Don’t even give it weight. It is what it is, and you’re never going to please everyone.”

Basically, Kristin tries to keep a realistic perspective about the industry in which she works. “The truth is that it’s just part of our job. It’s a visual job, and it’s tough. You have to hear everyone else discuss it, in print, too,” the Labor of Love host continued. 

“Part of the reason that it’s hard to do is that you go in and play parts where you can’t avoid having to wear certain things in our jobs,” added the HBO star. “It’s been a stressful thing for me over time and hard to get enough self-worth where I can be like, ‘I’m just gonna look however I’m gonna look on screen.’”

Kristin revealed to New Beauty in January 2022 that it’s “hard” for her to look back at her appearance from over two decades ago on Sex and the City versus how she looks on And Just Like That.

“It can also be extremely stressful to be aging and to be compared to your much, much, much younger self. If I was from a regular life, I would feel fine; I would feel great! But, no, I’m on television, where every bit of my physical being is analyzed. That part was always very stressful and difficult for me, because, as much as I can look back on my life and think, ‘Oh, I looked great then,’ you never think that at the time.”

She added, “I like to think there’s more to life than how we look, but it’s unavoidable in our culture that, as you age — especially as a woman — that how you look is a lot. It’s a whole, bigger cultural conversation we need to have, but, right now, it’s hard.”

Kristin opened up about the ridicule she’s faced following her appearance on the spinoff series, telling The Telegraph in June 2023, “I have done fillers and it’s been good, and I’ve done fillers and it’s been bad.”

“I’ve had to get them dissolved and I’ve been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It’s very stressful,” she continued. “No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time.”

Ahead of the season 2 premiere of And Just Like That, Kristin said she doesn’t see the point in shaming women over cosmetic work.

“We’re doing the best we can do. Everybody is doing the best they can do, and everyone can make their own choices, right?” she told Entertainment Tonight on June 20. “But you don’t criticize everybody else for their choices, or their mistakes or whatever it is. That’s not helping you. It’s not helping them. It’s not helping anybody. It’s just getting clicks or whatever.”

The actress feels that a lot of actresses don’t open up about getting work done due to fear of the public’s backlash.

“I think part of the reason that people are not more open is because there is such shaming put on you largely by other women,” Kristin explained. “It’s so sad. We have enough problems as it is. We don’t need to shame each other. Like, it’s so much a waste of time, but it does hurt.”
