Mike Johnson's Wife Kelly Isn't Beating The Mar-A-Lago Face Allegations In These Pics
There's a consistent plasticity to the elites within the MAGA movement, especially when it comes to aesthetics. A trend often referred to as Mar-a-Lago face appears to be the gold standard for those who want to rub elbows among the second administration of President Donald Trump. This typically looks like lips that have had some help, cheekbones stuffed with filler, overly smooth foreheads, and arched, bold eyebrows. Think of Kimberly Guilfoyle's face transformation as a perfect example. However, this sculpted archetype has seeped into almost every facet of the White House, with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's wife, Kelly Johnson, apparently hopping on the trend. Though she's yet to admit to any enhancement, these side-by-side pics suggest she's had some tuning up to possibly fit in.
Though she's joining a long list of others who have done their best to fit the MAGA mold, Kelly is an interesting addition. From Karoline Leavitt and her pouty lips to Kristi Noem and her shifting face, the women at the front and center of the Trump White House appear to frequent the same well of fillers. But Kelly is a bit more of a behind-the-scenes figure, one steeped in religious leanings and traditional family values. As a former teacher and pastoral counsellor, Kelly's decision to embrace Mar-a-Lago face feels a bit mystifying, although it could point towards a larger trend of the wives of lesser-known Trump cabinet members seeking out their own glory.
Kelly Johnson could be joining the ranks of Katie Miller
There's a pernicious air to the second administration of Donald Trump, one that seems to find any excuse to grab the limelight, no matter how tertiary the relationship to the president. A classic example of this would be the wife of Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, Katie Miller. Katie has made a name for herself by stoking feuds between her husband and Elon Musk as well as hosting her own podcast. Mike Johnson and Kelly Johnson were guests on "The Katie Miller Podcast" in November, and the eerie connection between the wives could be sensed. Just like Katie's potential Mar-A-Lago face transformation, Kelly seems to be possibly tuning up her looks for a life more in the spotlight.
Of course, tending to your appearance is well within anyone's right, and Kelly is allowed to smooth out wrinkles and plump up her cheekbones if she wants. But it does seem to be that fitting in with the mold just might help Kelly reclaim a tiny empire she had to abandon. Similar to Katie, Kelly and husband Mike had a podcast, "Truth Be Told," though it appears to have been on hiatus since 2023. Kelly also took down her website for her Christian counseling services that same year. Perhaps her tuned-up looks and podcast appearances could indicate that Kelly might be considering a return to a platform of her own.
