Older female celebrities who are growing old naturally/ not using fillers/ Botox?

Hello,

Can anyone give examples of female celebrities who are growing old naturally, ie not using Botox, fillers, and everything else?

It's for a talk I'm giving to teenage girls on body positivity!

I only have Pamela Anderson so far.

Mariska Hargitay.
Shobna Gulati (has also gone grey and it looks good on her).

I know both of those said they wouldn't have work done and they've stuck to it. They are obviously made up for filming but so is everyone.

Jenny Agutter.
Wendy Craig.
Francesca Annis.

Mariska Hargitay is so pumped full of filler her face is madly distorted.

Everyone lies about it so it’s impossible to know who’s had subtle work.

Jo Whiley?

No idea whether she had work done, but I think she looks great !

Kiera Knightley - in Black doves looking great for not having anything done (other than her teeth according to google)!

Keira Knightley is 40. That is hardly 'older'.

Funkyslippers · 15/02/2025 20:03

Michelle Collins. She looks bloody brilliant for a 60 plus woman. I mean, she looks great anyway

Oh god yes. How could you possibly think MH as being 'natural'?! She's one of the very worst examples, it's so sad to see what she's done to her face.

Not "older", P!nk has stated she will not go down the surgery/fillers/botox route and will age as nature intends, she is 46 this year

Hannah Waddingham.

Michelle Pfeiffer looks great, but natural.

Wow I just realised her mother was Jayne Mansfield! Tragically killed at a young age. Her actress older sister Jayne Marie is looking very good and natural(ish) aged 74

It's true though that what looks natural on some may not be.

I had a bit of Botox in my thirties, before I had a baby and waved goodbye to both my disposable income and my “give a f**s” (as Sabrina Carpenter would say 😆)

Apparently it just stops working for some people - the time it lasts reduces each time anyway, but some people’s bodies become more immune to it than others. So not having it may not be an active choice IYSWIM!

I think this may have happened to Kylie Minogue - she's definitely looking more natural these days.

FancyRedRobin · 16/02/2025 01:48

Honestly the last thing a teenage me would have loved is a series of slides of beautiful celebrities who are "natural" etc. They've won the genetic lottery on looks and work in fields where they sell these looks. Honestly these are not relatable but they are very prominent in girls media.

I'd like to see the faces of women who are contributing huge amounts to the world in lots of different fields. Those faces/bodies are more likely to look like mine. Show the weightlifting woman athlete, the astronaut etc.
Show the women who trek to the north Pole, write books.
I remember as a little girl being utterly transfixed by Marie Curie. Her calm and intelligent face.

The message is that women contribute to the world in a myriad of ways, a small number are beautiful and decorative, and that each girl listening to you will find a wonderful path of giving something wonderful to the world and they need to find their heroes whose stories resonate with them and inspire them.

Yay! Two of us to lead the revolution …

Worldgonecrazy · 16/02/2025 09:15

I remember my young daughter asking me why I wore make up when I found it tiresome as she thought was already beautiful. I told her it was because I wasn’t strong enough to stand up to societal expectations of beauty. Now mid teens she doesn’t wear make up. Maybe our message should be one that promotes thoughts around why we feel we have to conform to those expectations, which arguably are currently rather ridiculous? How can we strengthen resistance to them?

ColdHenrietta · 16/02/2025 09:21

People - make and female - have used some form of cosmetics to disguise / enhance / have fun since time immemorial. There’s nothing morally wrong in that. It’s very different to having your face scalpelled or injected in an effort to look younger.

(At the same time, cosmetic surgery for serious injury or cause is a human advance to be welcomed.)

Fairyliz · 16/02/2025 09:34

The thing is you are talking to teenagers. Surely they are going to think anyone over 30 is old and decrepit and they will never get like that.

I'm sure she's had work done. No one gets to almost 80 and a smoker and doesn't have any lines.

However, she is very much airbrushed in photos for publicity compared to when she's 'snapped' in the street in bad lighting.

Or if seen from the “wrong” angle. I sat in the row behind her and a couple of seats along from her at the RST in the early 1990s and from that angle her profile is very strange, her face flat or concave, almost ugly.
I think she’s one of those people the camera loves, but is far less good looking in real life.

Isabella Rossellini, Tilda Swinton, Salma Hayek, Emma Thompson.

I was really surprised to see Sue Johnston on a BBC show the other day having clearly had fillers around her eyes/cheeks. We watched the first series and then it went straight on to the second and you could tell the difference very clearly. It's such a shame, she's always been such a beautiful, graceful woman.

Kate (PoW)? She used to have Botox but doesn’t appear to now.

She's back on the Botox. I think she just took a break whilst having chemo. Her latest visits to places gave her back with unnaturally arched brows and one really trying to jump off her face. And her brow creases are much reduced again.

It amazes me that she doesn't find someone better to do it. It's so obvious and not well done.
