Chrissy Teigen just hit us with the most dramatic selfie since your cousin tried lip filler on FaceTune.
On Thursday, the queen of kitchen chaos and Twitter clapbacks, Chrissy Teigen, popped up on Instagram LIVE FROM HER HOSPITAL BED, looking like she had just fought a pillow and lost. Her whole face was wrapped up like a designer burrito, and naturally, the internet went, “Um. Ma’am? Are you okay??”
Was she in a mummy cosplay? Mid-transformation into a drag queen version of Voldemort? The possibilities were endless.
But fear not, nosy internet friends (aka all of us). The next day, Chrissy took to her Instagram Story to drop some truth bombs and calm the bandage-induced panic.
“Hi friends! A lot of you worried about my hospital pic which is very understandable as I gave no explanation lol,”
Translation: Oops, forgot to tell the class what science experiment I’m in now. My bad.
She then revealed the mystery procedure: a hairline lowering surgery.
Yes, you read that right. Hairline. Lowering. Surgery.
“Lost a lot in the front from babies and it’s just very thin up there,” Chrissy said, because apparently birthing small humans comes with the added bonus of forehead expansion.
And in case you’ve ever admired her hairline on a red carpet? Hate to break it to you, but those lush locks were brought to you by the fine guys at Clip-In & Co.
“When you see it on a carpet it’s ALWAYS extensions,” she confessed, probably while sipping soup with a side of surgical stitches.
She also dropped this gem:
“Anyhow I’ll share more later if you’re interested in the journey because it really is a journey lol.”
Which is celebrity speak for “There will be content. Stay tuned. Like and subscribe.”
Chrissy even posted a close-up of her fresh forehead stitches—because if you’re not zooming in on your scalp for millions of followers, are you even an influencer?
Oh, and P.S.—in other Chrissy news: she recently shared that after nearly three years of being off the sauce, she broke her sobriety. Which proves that even the most glam humans are just trying to get through life, one forehead stitch and wine glass at a time.
Chrissy Teigen is out here lowering her hairline, raising awareness, and casually living her truth under layers of gauze—and honestly? Mood.
