Alina Habba's Mar-A-Lago Face Transformation Has Become So Obvious

It's been rumored that Alina Habba looked very different before joining Trump's team as his lawyer and senior advisor, though now her staggering facial transformation has proved too hard to ignore. This noticeable change has prompted allegations of plastic surgery, which Habba has neither confirmed nor denied. The high-flying attorney is thought to have succumbed to the Mar-a-Lago face trend that's consumed her conservative female peers like the plague, and in the image below, the tweaks to Habba's face are more than obvious.

The image to the left depicts Habba in 2024, and it stands in stark contrast to her 2026 self on the right. The 2026 picture of Habba shows her sporting fuller cheeks, a fuller lower lip, and with her eyes and general eye area appearing more lifted as well. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dan Yamini offers his expert opinion to The List, stating that Habba might have had fillers and a nose job. "She is ... likely using facial fillers for her cheeks, chin, lips, laugh lines, and marionette lines," Dr. Yamini shares. Dr. Yamini also notes that Habba could be experiencing weight fluctuations that may explain her drastic change in appearance.

Alina Habba may have allegedly done a bit of face-tuning, but Trump's former personal attorney is known to take meticulous care of her appearance — especially in her choice of outfits. And it is not surprising, seeing as the former U.S. District Attorney for New Jersey had a background in fashion before going into law, having worked in merchandising for Marc Jacobs. Habba has turned heads with a number of tasteful ensembles throughout her career, from the figure-hugging red number she wore when attending the 48th Annual Kennedy Center Honors to the polished, sleek suit she chose for the premiere of "Melania."

In fact, Habba herself somewhat shockingly admitted that she would likely not have gone far without her looks. "I don't think I would be on TV or sitting here if I didn't look the way I look," Habba shared in an appearance on the PBD Podcast. "I think I caught attention. I'm very honest about that, and I don't mind." It certainly takes a lot of guts to admit that to the world, as well as her fair share of self-consciousness, which may explain the total face transformation she has undergone.
