Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ Only Daughter, 23, Ignites Mixed Reactions for Posing Topless in Recent Snap

Lola Consuelos’ sultry social media post has netizens buzzing with different reactions. Some feel that the young artist on the rise, who has spoken about the exciting endeavors she has planned for her future, showed too much.

Bringing the heat to Instagram, the only daughter of Hollywood couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos showed off her glowing skin in a photo she posted on August 23. While some are commending the 23-year-old for living her best youthful life, others feel that her post is slightly inappropriate.

Lola Consuelos shared glimpses of her day out in the sun and on the beach via an Instagram carousel post. In one photo, Lola, who donned an olive green bikini, is seen lying on her stomach on a plush towel and cozy-looking chair, surrounded by a beautiful backdrop of vibrant green plants and striking architecture.

Adding a touch of beach chicness to her look, she sported dark shades, dangling jewel earrings, a thin bracelet, and a colorfully patterned head scarf. In her carousel, Lola added a striking snap of a beautiful purple-blue sky that featured a faded-out sunset and a few shining stars.

Another photo depicted a close-up view of a black beach dune buggy with sand-covered tires. In the back of the vehicle were Lola’s beach goodies, like towels and the like, placed in three tote bags.

She also placed a blue T-shirt that had a cheeky phrase printed on it and a green bikini over the dune buggy’s open trunk.

“Is this demure?” captioned Lola alongside her post, playing on a phrase that recently went viral on the internet. The standout photo among the other three showed Lola lounging around topless.

While she strategically covered up her bosom with her towel, she left her tanned back on display. This image, in particular, caused a wave of commentary from social media users.

Taking to the comment section of the Instagram post, some felt that Lola’s topless picture was a little too out of bounds for their taste.

Responding directly to the question Lola had posed in her caption, a netizen wrote, “Considering that Demure means modesty, then no this is very much not modest nor demure.”

Echoing the sentiment, another added, “Demure I don’t believe is the word- maybe I don’t get it. I say why because you have a cute girl with her song. Why that pic? Maybe I’m too [old-fashioned] – sorry.”

On the other hand, some people believe Lola’s post is a cry for attention, with one person also pointing out the privileged life they perceive her living. “Ahhhh the life of the privileged… 🎶,” remarked a user. Another stated, “Really hard up for publicity.”

While Lola faced some criticism, other people praised her and defended her right to live and post as she pleases. “Omg she is beautiful talented not showing anything. Why [are] any questions asked[?] Demure and beautiful youth! Enjoy it!” asserted a fan.

Bringing Lola’s mom, Kelly, into the mix, someone else pointed out, “Your profile in [the] second photo looks just [like] your mom!” Kelly also weighed in on the discussion about her daughter, “It’s very mindful.”

In the same way that Kelly showed support for her daughter’s post, the talk show host and Lola’s dad, Mark, have also supported the young lady with her musical endeavors.

When Lola put out her debut single, “Paranoia Silverlining,” she spoke about how her parents showered her with praise, despite not knowing much about the music industry.

“They really don’t know what they’re talking about […] when it comes to music. So it’s very sweet to see them do their posts here and there and their little videos. They made a music video yesterday in the pool!” divulged Lola in a past interview from 2022.

According to Lola, Mark and Kelly’s adoration of her song extends beyond them being doting and supportive parents, as they are known for being very honest if they don’t like something.

“My parents are the last people to sugarcoat anything when it comes to my singing […] So when I saw they had a good reaction and liked it, I felt reassured,” said Lola.

Music has long been a passion of Lola’s, as she shared in the same interview, how she started making music at 14 years old. However, she expressed, “I […] never really had anything that I thought was legitimate enough to write about or something that resonated with me.”

It was after feeling this way that Lola came up with the idea for “Paranoia Silverlining”—a song that rethinks the existence of one’s biggest fears and is based on one accepting that, whether they like it or not, everyone at some point experiences paranoia.

“It was just a good theme for what was going on in my life at the moment and I really liked the vibe and the sound of everything. I thought, ‘If I don’t do this now, I don’t know if I ever will,’ because I can second guess myself a lot,” disclosed Lola about the song.

Fresh off the success of “Paranoia Silverlining,” Lola released her second single, “Divine Timing,” in 2023. Speaking to another media outlet about how the song came to be, Lola shared, “The inspiration behind ‘Divine Timing’ is how the universe is looking out for you… maybe not at the exact time or moment that you want, which I think is relatable in relationships.”

The young musician, who described her music as a mix of soulful melodies, R&B, and alternative, also discussed what awaits in store for her future in terms of her music career.

On this, Lola mentioned, “I think next is going to be an EP for sure and then hopefully an album after that. Live performing is something I wanna do 100 percent.”

In the same interview, Lola also spoke about her parents and the relationship she shares with them, expressing what it’s been like to grow up in the eyes of the public as a result of their fame.

“They never really cross a line. We have a very respectful relationship, so there’s never been a real moment where I’m like, ‘Oh my god, why would you share that?'” Lola revealed.

In the same way that her daughter recently received comments about her appearance, Kelly also garnered public attention for how she looked at a Disney event earlier this month (August).

At the event, Kelly, who looked stunning, talked about living her dreams and meeting esteemed actors like Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett, and John Cameron.

Yet, it wasn’t her interesting stories that had people talking; it was her appearance. While Kelly’s excitement was palpable, her facial features became the unexpected focus of online buzz.

Despite opting for a minimalist makeup look and subtle accessories, her cheeks sparked a lively debate among viewers.

Critics were quick to suggest that Kelly might have had plastic surgery, with comments ranging from, “Yikes!!!! another victim of Plastic Surgery,” to, “Kelly, grow old gracefully.”

The humor in the comment section was also evident, with jokes like, “Cheeks are melting 😮,” and playful remarks such as, “I’ve heard of a stiff upper lip but stiff cheeks? 😂.” Someone else curiously asked, “Does she have cheek fillers-she didn’t need that.”

While Kelly’s public appearance sparked a flurry of online chatter, the day was marked by a significant accolade that the celebrated TV personality received.

Kelly was officially named a Disney Legend—a prestigious honor celebrating her contributions to the entertainment world.

Dressed in an eye-catching polka-dot dress and matching her ensemble with bold white pointed pumps, Kelly looked like a star. In her acceptance speech, she blended humor with heartfelt gratitude.

Addressing the audience, she joked, “I know what you’re thinking. Why her? What has she ever done? She doesn’t even go here.” This light-hearted joke was followed by sincere thanks to Disney, acknowledging the company’s profound influence on her life.

Kelly also fondly recounted meeting her husband, Mark, 30 years ago while filming “All My Children,” a moment that had a lasting impact on her life. She also took the opportunity to thank her family and all those who have supported her throughout her career.

The talk show host has constantly received backlash about having cosmetic surgery. Still, she isn’t afraid to admit that she has done cosmetic enhancements. In April 2023, Kelly admitted to having extensive knowledge about Botox injections.

“I know about Botox,” she said. The talk show host emphasized that Botox injections are beneficial for the neck as they help prevent aging in that area.

She also revealed that she has used Botox in her armpits to reduce sweating and in the area between her eyebrows to prevent the development of vertical lines. Kelly emphasized that the effectiveness of Botox largely depends on the skill of the practitioner.

Despite Kelly admitting to using Botox injections, she still gets criticized for her looks. The actress became a subject of discussion while she was on vacation with her husband.

On June 30, 2024, Mark shared moments from their picturesque Swiss getaway on Instagram. He posted several photos captioned, “Swiss life 🇨🇭merci beaucoup Geneva!”

The pictures featured the Emmy-winning actor driving a boat, posing shirtless, and enjoying the trip with Kelly and their daughter, Lola. Highlights included selfies, shots of Kelly’s vacation outfits, and the couple hugging in front of a Ferris wheel and stunning backdrops.

In one picture, the “All My Children” actress sported a straw hat and sunglasses while enjoying some time on a boat with Mark. Her vibrant green one-piece swimsuit was prominently featured, contrasting with her husband’s casual attire of a terry cloth shirt and sunglasses.

In another image captured during their trip, the talk show host elegantly showcased her swimsuit cover-up adorned with a lively geometric design and a halter neck. The dress subtly revealed the straps of her green swimsuit underneath.

However, it wasn’t just the scenic beauty that caught everyone’s attention. Many social media users focused on Kelly’s appearance, sparking a heated discussion. While some fans were supportive, others were critical. Comments ranged from admiration for her look to concerns about her changing appearance.

Supportive comments praised Kelly’s style and youthful look. One fan remarked, “Kelly Ripped 💪🏻,” while another reiterated, “Kelly Ripa is ripped 🔥.” However, on the flip side, some users were critical of Kelly’s appearance. “What happened to her? She does not look well at all,” commented a netizen. Another said, “She got new lips.”

Seemingly having had enough of the lip filler speculation, Kelly set the record straight with a humorous and informative Instagram video a few days after the vacation snapshots. In a playful tutorial video, the 53-year-old shared her secrets for achieving fuller lips without the need for cosmetic enhancements.

The video kicked off with Kelly joking, “Although I do enjoy the shape of my lips, like all women my age, my upper lip seems to be sucked down into Middle Earth.” With her characteristic charm, she demonstrated her step-by-step lip routine.

Kelly started by outlining her upper lip just outside its natural shape using a dark brown liner stick. She then traced this line with a Lip Pencil and filled in her bottom lip with the same shade.

The finishing touch was a matte nude lipstick topped with a glossy lip balm. “That’s it. That’s how you go from flat upper lip to full upper lip,” Kelly said with a smile as she completed her look.

Her caption, “No, I didn’t get lip fillers. This is the lip trick you monsters,” added another humorous spin to the tutorial. Kelly’s fun and straightforward approach offered a great solution for those looking to achieve a fuller lip look naturally.
