Jocelyn Wildenstein Shares Photo From Before Cosmetic Transformation
Christina Applegate Reveals the “Only Plastic Surgery” Procedure She’s Had Done
Jocelyn Wildenstein is sharing a blast from the past.
The Swiss socialite, who is known for her iconic cosmetically-enhanced feline look, recently celebrated her daughter Diane Wildenstein’s birthday with a throwback, pre-surgery photo.
Alongside a picture of herself and then-baby Diane, Jocelyn wrote in an Aug. 25 Instagram post, “Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter.”
In the photo, Jocelyn, 82, wears a full face of makeup, but has clearly had much less cosmetic enhancements, with wide eyes and a more chiseled face. Her daughter, now in her 40s, sits on her lap as they both smile toward something beyond the lens of the camera.
The socialite rose to prominence during her 1997 divorce from billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein—with whom she shared Diane and son Alec Jr. At the time, Jocelyn also gained tabloid attention for her aesthetic enhancements, often referred to as “Catwoman” and “The Bride of Wildenstein.”
Even her ex-husband—who underwent her first cosmetic procedure, a his-and-hers face lift, along with her in 1979—considered Jocelyn’s fixation with plastic surgery too much, telling Vanity Fair in 1998, “She was crazy.”
