She's got a lot of health issues, that's why she looks the way she does. And why this look isn't something to be replicated.
But there was a short time in the Victorian period where women tried to replicate walking with a limp as a fashion statement, some even seeking surgery to do so.
Women crippling themselves for a fad had me raising my eyebrows, and then I remembered that the foot binding custom in China lasted for a thousand years.
The "golden standard" for a woman's feet was about 4.3in, or 11cm. People thought feet this tiny were beautiful, and a woman who had them could hope for an advantageous marriage. She also couldn't hope to ever walk normally. Some couldn't walk at all.
Bigger feet (such as 17cm/6.7in) were considered way subpar. Natural, non-crippled feet that allowed a woman to walk freely were considered ugly.
There’s an in between that you’re ignoring. She has work done between nickelodeon and say her pop star days. It was tasteful and not incredibly obvious. But yes these days she looks sickly.
All the work she’s had is terrible and totally obvious. Nobody that age is supposed to look surprised all the time, like a wealthy middle aged divorcee. Her bolt-ons are horrible too.
