Baz Luhrmann has been at the centre of cosmetic surgery accusations for years.
And the award-winning filmmaker, 62, did little to dispel rumours as he attended the 2025 Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
The iconic Australian director looked very different from when he shot to fame in 1992 with his hit flick Strictly Ballroom.
Lurhmann displayed a wrinkle-free complexion and very plump cheeks as he walked the red carpet with alongside his wife Catherine Martin.
His visage appeared shiny, while his jawline seemed noticeably more pronounced than they did during his former years in the spotlight.
Earlier in his career, Lurhmann sported a rugged appearance with natural wrinkles.

The director made a style statement at the Met Gala with his wife Catherine.
The award-winning filmmaker channelled German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld as he arrived in a striped suit jacket, a white vest and matching coloured pants.
He completed his eccentric look with a colourful tie, round glasses and wore a pair of black dress shoes.
Baz was joined by his wife Catherine, who looked glamorous in a long black and navy gown which featured sheer sleeves.
She accessorised with a large green and white necklace, patterned shoes and large framed blue glasses.
The couple, who’ve been married for almost three decades, proved their relationship is stronger than ever as they put on a loved-up display on the red carpet.
Their red carpet appearance comes after it was recently reported that Baz and Catherine appear to be living separate lives.
Award-winning filmmaker Baz was spotted at Taylor Swift’s Sydney concert in February last year in the singer’s star-studded box alongside her NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, Katy Perry and fellow filmmaker Taika Waititi and his wife Rita Ora.

The Romeo + Juliet director was seen dancing like no one was watching, his wife notably missing despite the fact they were living on Gold Coast at the time, a short one hour and 20 minute flight from Sydney.
The couple also recently moved into ‘a shack’ in the Miami beach area, downsizing from a larger home they were residing in after they relocated to the glitter strip in 2020 to make their sixth film Elvis.
In an interview with The Australian’s Wish magazine, Martin spoke about doing long distance with her husband.
The Academy Award-winning Costume Designer said the pair speak regularly on the phone when he is in New York and she stays at their seaside Gold Coast shack.
Martin said she was enjoying the ‘work/life balance’ on the Gold Coast, where she goes for daily long morning walks on the beach and classes at her local Pilates studio.
‘I called Baz this morning, I was walking on the way to Pilates and he was marvelling at the weather, because he’s in New York,’ she said in the interview at the time.
Meanwhile, Baz was forced to put split rumours to rest after fans noted eerie similarities with Aussie actor Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness’ failed marriage.
The director confirmed the pair were still very much in love.
Baz and Martin have been married for 28 years and just saw their own children Lilly, 20, and William, 18, move out of home.
