The photograph captured Appleton striking a pose on the red carpet at NETFLIX TUDUM 2025: THE LIVE EVENT, held at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, on May 31, 2025. For the occasion, he opted for a casual yet stylish ensemble, pairing leather pants with a straightforward white T-shirt that bore the playful slogan, "I'll have what Kris Jenner is having," in bold, capitalized black letters.

In Kardashian's accompanying story, she eagerly echoed the sentiment emblazoned on Appleton's shirt. She wrote, "@chrisappleton1 me too, babe!!!" This heartfelt response, along with Appleton's whimsical T-shirt, came on the heels of PEOPLE magazine confirming that the Kardashian-Jenner clan's matriarch had undergone aesthetic enhancements administered by plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine in New York City.

Fans of the reality TV star had already buzzed about Jenner's refreshed appearance during her attendance at Lauren Sánchez's star-studded bachelorette bash in Paris last month. Although neither Jenner nor Levine has divulged the specific treatments she underwent, the doctor's website reveals his expertise in achieving natural-looking enhancements of the face, breasts, and body. His repertoire often includes breast augmentations, tummy tucks, and facelifts, the latter of which can yield a rejuvenated visage by addressing jowls, sagging skin, and facial creases.

Meanwhile, Jenner has been open about some of her previous plastic surgery endeavors. She famously underwent an earlobe reduction, which was featured in an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. During the episode, she shared, "All I want is just cute ears. Ever since Kim made a comment about my ears, I've always wondered, and now I'm obsessively looking in the mirror, thinking, 'Are they too big?'" She also revealed that she learned that ears and noses continue to grow throughout one's lifetime, prompting her to prioritize addressing her ever-changing ears.

In 2019, Jenner confirmed her love for Botox and even generously gifted her friends and family members with vouchers for the procedure. "It's a one-stop shop for me," she told PEOPLE at the time. "And who doesn't love Botox? For me, it's been truly wonderful. If you're responsible and consult with your doctor, I believe it works. It's something I've been using for a long time." She continued, "My routine is quite simple but has remained consistent throughout my life. A massage, a luxurious facial, a manicure, and a touch of Botox, and I'm ready to go. I'm pretty traditional. As long as I'm clean and pampered, I'm a content soul."
