Christian Wilkins turned heads at the ARIA Awards on Wednesday with a bold and dramatic new look.
With a noticeably puffier face and striking facial contours, Christian appeared almost unrecognisable compared to previous red carpet appearances.
The model son of Nine veteran Richard Wilkins, 29, left onlookers debating whether he has undergone cosmetic enhancements.
Leading cosmetic experts have weighed in on the transformation, speculating that dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments may be behind his new look.
Lauren Robson, director of Lilly Cosmetic Clinic, suggested Christian’s cheeks had been injected with dermal filler.
‘Instead of creating stronger masculine features, they’ve created a more feminised cheek by lifting and contouring,’ she explained.

‘In the lower face, they’ve enhanced the angles and definition by widening his jawline and defining the gonial angle.’
Lauren also noted that Christian’s top lip appeared overfilled.
‘A more subtle filler approach would have been more aesthetically pleasing,’ she said.
Additionally, she pointed out that anti-wrinkle injections likely lifted his brows while also keeping forehead and frown lines at bay.
Robson added that his bold makeup look, designed to complement his striking outfit, exaggerated the effects of the filler.
‘Without makeup, it might not look so unnatural,’ she speculated.
Meanwhile, Body Sculpting Clinic’s Dominika Gialouris suggested that Christian had received dermal fillers combined with advanced treatments like HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound).
‘Filler works by integrating with the skin’s tissue to restore or enhance volume and structure,’ Dom explained.

‘In this case, he appears to have a more defined jawline and chin compared to previous photos.’
She added that HIFU treatments can refine contours by lifting and tightening the skin, offering a more harmonious result when combined with fillers.
Wilkins previously confessed that he was taking supplements to keeping his skin looking flawless.

‘I’m a big believer in ingestibles! From being on set, my hair has seen a lot of damage, so I take Vida Glow Hairology every day, and hand on heart can see the difference,’ he told news.com.au.
‘Skincare wise, it changes every day because I get a lot of products sent to me and I want to try them all,’ he said.
He also mentioned that he wasn’t brand loyal when it came to keeping a glow.
‘Always an under-eye cream … I remember growing up in the halls of Channel Nine and the make-up girls telling me one day they can always tell when someone uses an under-eye cream or not. It stuck with me,’ he told the outlet.
