‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein, 84, has left her social media followers speechless after dropping age-defying snaps.
The Swiss socialite, who earned her feline nickname through her distinctive appearance, insists she’s never had plastic surgery.
Instead, she says her ‘high cheekbones and long hair’ are down to her ‘Swiss background.’
Now, she’s being branded an ‘icon’ by fans after dropping ageless photos on Instagram where she looks far from her 84 years.
The socialite first made headlines in the late ’90s during her divorce from the late French billionaire art dealer Alec N. Wildenstein, with who she shares two children.
Their marriage ended in 1999 and the socialite received a divorce settlement of $2.5 billion, with additional yearly payouts of $100 million for the following 13 years, reports Reuters.
In 2017 Wildenstein became engaged to French couturier Lloyd Klein, 57, after 15 years of dating.
One year later, the New York Post reported that Wildenstein filed for bankruptcy. Her creditors reportedly sold one of three condo units she’d made into a single residence at Trump World Tower.
In a 2018 interview with the Daily Mail TV, Wildenstein addressed the plastic surgery rumors.
When asked if she’d had plastic surgery, the socialite responded: “No, especially when we look back at my pictures – I think of course I am maybe more beautiful [back then].
‘When we are young there’s a certain freshness we lose with the years. But you still find the same eyes, same high cheeks, or same nose. I think I was more pretty.”
Her fiancé Klein added: “I don’t understand the whole press and the Catwoman thing because Jocelyn always looked like that.”
When chatting with Interview magazine’s editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg, Wildenstein elaborated further.
She stated: “Journalists can say whatever they like… I never bother to make a contradiction.”
The socialite shared a throwback photo from her ballet days at 15 on Instagram to stop people from speculating about her appearance.
In a deleted caption, she emphasized that her features are natural and criticized the spread of fake images.
She penned (per The Sun): “#Tbt, that’s me, Jocelyn Wildenstein, at ballet classes in Switzerland at 15 years old – so maybe you should stop speculating on my image. Stop photoshopping my images because you are all wrong. Stop posting fake images of me. You will be able to watch the true image of me very soon on screen.”
According to The Times, Wildenstein blames her late ex-husband for starting the surgery rumors during their high-profile divorce.
In a 1998 interview with Vanity Fair, Alec Wildenstein claimed: “She was crazy. I would always find out last.
“She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen.”
Regardless of people’s opinions, the socialite continues to take Instagram and show off her lavish lifestyle and striking looks.
Commenting on her photos, one fan writes: “If you feel as good as you look, you must be a very fit and beautiful 30-year-old!”
Another follower gushes: “This is beautiful! You’re an icon.”
“You look very youthful Jocelyn!” comments a third follower.
A fourth says: “Always have been and always will be beautiful!”
“You just keep getting better,” somebody else insists.
