‘What Happened to Her Lower Lip?’: Users Stunned After Seeing 78-Year-Old Cher on the ‘Today Show’ – Photos & Videos 69

Cher appeared on the “Today Show” to share one of her greatest achievements, but fans were more focused on her facial appearance, particularly her lips, sparking questions and speculation online.

Cher had a heartfelt conversation with Hoda during her appearance on the “Today Show.” The two shared their excitement about the moment with a warm hug, featured in a video posted on the show’s Instagram page. It was captioned, “Nothing beats a good hug from a friend. 🫂 🩷 #Cher #TodayShow.”

Cher also posed with Hoda and Savannah Guthrie, all flashing big smiles and holding each other closely. The clip of them taking pictures together was shared on the show’s page with the caption, “Sisterhood! 💅 We love it when @cher comes to #TodayShow. ❤️.”

During Hoda and Cher’s heartfelt exchange, fans couldn’t help but focus on the singer’s lips. They took to social media to voice their concerns.

One asked, “Did she try to get a lip injection and they missed? What’s going on with her bottom lip or upper chin…not sure which it is. Love Cher.” Another added, “Why does she have two lower lips?? Is the silicone slipping???”

The critiques kept coming as one user commented, “Too much plastic surgery and fillers,” while another said, “She has 3 lips 🙃.” Some expressed confusion, “Why does her bottom lip look so weird right below it?” Others went as far as to claim, “Cher’s lip filler is migrating to the south. 👀.”

One harsh critique read, “She had that money to mess up her face and look like MJ! Awful!” A user echoed these sentiments, “Really bad plastic job surgery.” More questions followed, with another wondering, “What happened to her lower lip?”

However, Cher’s admirers were quick to counter the negativity. A devoted fan gushed, “Cher. So Beautiful. So Fierce. So Fearless. So Iconic. So Everything. ❤️” Another simply praised, “She’s amazing.”

Aside from the conversation on her lips, Cher amazed viewers with her narration of her life experiences, including her feats. She revealed, “My greatest achievement, I can say many things. My children, you know, they come to my mind first, but not giving up and that’s like. That’s what I know to do.”

Cher added that people had no idea how many times she had been down, without money and without a job, but she always managed to bounce back. “My mom said it, ‘what belongs to you comes to you,'” she quoted.

The singer also divulged that her late ex-husband and musical partner, Sonny Bono, took “all” the money they made as a duo during their rise to fame. She recalled confronting him, “‘Just tell me one thing.’ I still to this day, if he came back, that’s what I’d ask him. ‘What was the moment you thought it would be right to take all my money?'”

According to Cher, Sonny left her with just her car and clothes, and he was unable to explain why he had taken everything. Despite the hardship, Cher persevered, building a legendary career that continues to inspire.

Hoda Kotb cherished the opportunity to sit down with Cher, expressing her admiration for the singer’s incredible journey. She shared her excitement on Instagram, “@cher what a life story… thx for sharing❤️. Oh and sorry about the F-bomb. My bad 😜.”

Cher’s appearance on the “Today Show” was a powerful reminder of how far she has come to have a great impact on the entertainment industry and beyond. While some fans focused on her lip appearance, her enduring influence and legacy remain undeniable.

Even so, this wasn’t the first time fans have alleged that Cher had undergone cosmetic procedures to alter her physical appearance. In October 2024, she faced backlash over her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show as fans speculated about her cosmetic surgery.

The pop singer was accompanied by her boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards. They were photographed upon arriving at the Duggal Greenhouse in Brooklyn, New York for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. The couple walked in hand-in-hand and Alexander, 38, lovingly gave the 78-year-old a smooch on her cheek.

Cher dazzled on the carpet in a dark blazer combined with a black fishnet top and Harlem-style pants. Meanwhile, Alexander opted for a black suit, complemented by a white button-up shirt and a multi-colored tie.

Cher’s facial appearance at this event was what fans focused on, as they gave their views on her alleged cosmetic surgery. One asked bluntly, “How many facelifts does it take?” while another critiqued her appearance, “More plastic than human.”

Some fans were disappointed with her facial appearance, saying, “Her face is stiff.” One user lamented, “She doesn’t even look like Cher anymore, she was insanely beautiful😢.”

A fan paid note to specific features, writing, “What’s up with the bottom lip, and she can’t move her face,” while another person, shocked by her facial features, remarked, “THOSE LIPS ARE HARDLY MOVING. GOOOSH!!!. HOW MANY SURGERIES.”

Others claimed they couldn’t figure out who she was, “So much plastic surgery done that I did not even recognize her. Omg.” In a playful jab at her hair, another individual quipped, “I saw that wig at the Halloween store.”

One person, after close observation, shared, “The double bottom lip and frozen face is [sic] just sad,” while someone else was put off, saying, “So much plastic injections…🤮[sic].”

Despite the criticism, Cher still had fans celebrating her and her look, “Looking fab! Love the lighter hair! Queen!👸🏼” Another admirer chimed in, “She looks amazing and still the fashionista of all time! Just stunning!!🌟.” One fan reminded others, “She’s literally almost 80 years old she looks fantastic.”

Cher has always prioritized looking and feeling her best. In 2002, the Grammy-winning singer remarked that losing her sexual allure would feel like hitting a wall, but rather than being stopped, she would simply move it aside and take a new path.

She admitted that she had undergone plastic surgery but not as extensive as tabloids have reported, such as butt or calf implants. She stated that her cheeks have remained unchanged throughout her life and denied having any cheek implants, butt lifts, or rib removals.

Furthermore, she expressed that she wouldn’t feel ashamed even if she had chosen to enhance her appearance. “If I want to put my tits on my back, it’s nobody’s business but my own,” she declared.

Ever since, Cher has maintained a refreshingly honest approach to her appearance, often referring to herself as the “poster girl for plastic surgery.” She has acknowledged having a facelift while playfully questioning, “Who hasn’t?”

When asked if she believes she has normalized cosmetic procedures, Cher responded with surprise, questioning the notion that she made it acceptable for everyday people to undergo surgery. She pointed out, “These girls are having surgery at 18. So come on! I’ve never seen girls do so much to want to change everything they look like. I never wanted to do that.”
