The wedding of Joan Rivers’ daughter was a celebration of love — but it was her appearance that stole the spotlight. As she exchanged vows with her fiancé in a picturesque ceremony, social media lit up with reactions to her striking look.
Melissa Rivers has tied the knot! The 57-year-old TV personality married attorney Steve Mitchel on March 15, 2025, in a ceremony held at the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The couple exchanged vows in front of 150 guests in an intimate yet elegant gathering, sparking a buzz.
The newlyweds looked radiant in their wedding portraits. Melissa donned a shimmering silver gown adorned with intricate embellishments, featuring a draped neckline and thin spaghetti straps.
Her shoulder-length brown hair was styled in soft waves, complementing her natural makeup with well-defined brows and glossy lips.
Meanwhile, Mitchel wore a classic black suit with a crisp white shirt and a deep blue tie. He accessorized his wedding look with a subtle boutonnière consisting of green thistle and small white flowers.
While the wedding was a joyful occasion, social media followers were quick to comment on Melissa’s appearance. Many pointed out changes in her facial features, drawing comparisons to her late mother, who was known for openly discussing her cosmetic procedures.
On Facebook, one person remarked, “Wow she had a lot of face work, following in her mother’s footsteps [sic].” Another added, “she has had so much done to her face… and that is what killed her mum smh [sic].”
A different commenter shared a similar sentiment, “Looks like she’s going the same route as her mom when it comes to plastic surgery [sic].”
Despite the criticism, others extended their well wishes while still noting her appearance. “Congratulations. Boy she’s had facial work done. But hey good for her [sic]!!” one comment read. Another simply stated, “Wow she a whole lot of Botox [sic].”
The discussion continued on Instagram, where some viewers speculated whether filters were responsible for Melissa’s look. “I hope it’s filters… you almost look like a wax figure,” one person commented.
