Vanessa Williams has been rocking 60 gracefully. Many want to know her secret to flawless aging. Now, the actress is sharing that plastic surgery and fillers have nothing to do with her looks.
“No, no, no, no, no, not yet,” the 60-year-old actress responded when Page Six Style asked her if she was interested in getting plastic surgery or fillers.
“I don’t do fillers,” she said. She added that surgery would probably be the “very last thing” she’s open to trying.
Despite her love for “good botox,” the star explained last year to The New York Post that she doesn’t plan on going further with cosmetic procedures.
“The technology now for lifting, sculpting, tightening, is incredible,” Williams explained. “And there’s a machine for anything.” She shared that she’s a fan of microcurrent technology, specifically a treatment called Forma, which she dubs “a total package facial.”
Vanessa Williams Turns 60
The former Miss America turned 60 in March and admitted that her 60th birthday was a significant turning point in her overall wellness.
“I’m like, ‘Damn it. I’m going to get in shape. I’m going to eat right. I’m going to work my ass off,'” she said.
Williams follows an intense workout regime, which she shared during the interview.
“I kickbox every other day, I weightlift every other day beside that,” she shared. “And I’m just loving life.”
Ageism in Hollywood
Working in Hollywood carries its own set of pressures—aging brings about a harsh spotlight, which often drives many celebrities toward plastic surgery and fillers, especially women. Although aging is a natural process everyone goes through, celebrities consistently face harsher criticism.
Williams posted a filter-free photo on her Instagram recently and received many negative comments about her wrinkles.
“No filter …No energy #rescuecrew,” she wrote on the post.
However, Williams’ fans let the trolls know she was still that girl.
“I respect this honest pic and see you now even more beautiful,” one fan wrote.
