She has ”never” undergone plastic surgery
Despite varied reactions to her appearance—some complimenting her brazen confidence, while others cri:tic:izing her drastic transformation—Jocelyn Wildenstein remains unconcerned about public opinion. The 84-year-old rich socialite continues to deny receiving substantial sur:gery, claiming that her unique appearance is the consequence of her “Swiss heritage.”
In a recent interview with The Sun, Jocelyn Wildenstein reiterated that she has “never” had plastic sur:gery, despite the allegations and speculation around her appearance. She indicated that she is afraid of the potential outcomes and risks associated with such operations.
Jocelyn at the Paris Fashion Week
But is that the entire truth? Doubts were raised once more when the 84-year-old socialite arrived at Paris Fashion Week in late September/October of this year.
Wildenstein arrived in a daring mesh top and figure-hugging, leather-look leggings, accompanied by her long-time partner, Lloyd David Klein. She had not been seen in public in quite some time. Wildenstein went to many fashion shows with her 57-year-old Canadian-born French designer partner.
Their romance began in 2003, at New York Fashion Week. Klein has remained a constant in Jocelyn’s life ever since, even proposing to her in 2017.
Drastic transformation
However, recent images from Paris have left many skeptical of the couple’s claims about Jocelyn Wildenstein’s alleged absence of cosmetic sur:gery.
What garnered new notice this time was the disparity between her claims of natural beauty based on her “Swiss heritage” and her drastically changed facial characteristics. Fans and critics alike were quick to note that her appearance had changed dramatically once more.
According to The Sun, Jocelyn has spent an estimated $6.7 million on plastic sur:gery over the years. Many onlookers couldn’t help but comment on her dramatic makeover, with one questioning, “Who the hell is that, and what happened to her face?”
Others were less complimentary, with one saying, “Some people have a hard time growing old gracefully!” Meanwhile, a third netizen criticized Wildenstein’s decisions, saying, “Proof that just because you are a billionaire does not mean you have common sense.”

The conversation around Jocelyn Wildenstein’s appearance gained further momentum when Oli London, a British internet personality known for undergoing multiple cosmetic sur:geries to resemble Jimin, a member of the K-pop group BTS, posted a video featuring Wildenstein on X (formerly Twitter).
The video elicited strong reactions, with many people surprised and concerned about Jocelyn Wildenstein’s new appearance.
“He never pushed me… ”
While many have condemned Jocelyn Wildenstein’s radical appearance, a vociferous number of supporters defend her choices, implying that her turbulent past plays an important role in her change.
Some speculate that the millionaire socialite’s dramatic procedures are a reaction to personal difficulties, particularly the emotional toll of her divorce from her ex-husband, the late French billionaire Alec Wildenstein.
Jocelyn Wildenstein initially stated that she modified her appearance because her ex-husband Alec Wildenstein disliked “being around old people.” In an interview with Vanity Fair, she later reaffirmed her position on the role of her marriage in her numerous plastic operations.
In 1997, Jocelyn discovered her husband in bed with a young model, and their marriage ended. The divorce was contentious, lasting two years as the parties negotiated. The press published every detail, and Jocelyn’s striking appearance did not help her case.
Before “Catwoman”, she was a natural beauty
Jocelyn Wildenstein was formerly regarded as a natural beauty before being nicknamed “Catwoman” due to her extreme cosmetic sur:gery.
Growing up in Switzerland, she was noted for her stunning appearance, which drew the attention of many. Some ancient images of Jocelyn Wildenstein reveal her natural beauty in her early years.
Whether or whether she has undergone major sur:gery is up to personal perception, but Jocelyn does admit to attempting Botox. However, she did not have a good experience with it.
