Jocelyne Wildenstein: 90s socialite known as 'Catwoman' denies ever having any plastic surgery

The 84-year-old Swizz socialite rose to prominence after marrying billionaire businessman Alec Wildenstein in 1978, hitting the headlines for their highly publicised divorce in 1999. Wildenstein’s face and possible use of plastic surgery became a talking point, with many in the media referring to her as ‘Catwoman’ as a result of her evolving feline-style facial features over the years.

Wildenstein has spoken out to rubbish rumours that she has used plastic surgery to change her appearance over the years, ahead of her upcoming HBO documentary ‘Catwoman’. Speaking to The Sun, she said: “I haven’t had plastic surgery, I am scared of what can happen and I don’t like to have something heavy, sometimes it is a bit heavy and terrible.”

She added that she doesn’t like Botox, saying: “Everyone has a different reaction to it. I have had Botox only twice. I don’t know if I am allergic, but when I had it, it did not go well with me. It was not a good result, my face swelled up.”

Rumours of her use of plastic surgery have been sparked over the years due to have changing appearance. Fans were stunned when Wildenstein shared images of herself when her daughter was young with a drastically different look.

Speaking previous about the topic, Wildenstein told Interview Magazine in 2023: “I have changed a lot. My hair went from very curly to very straight, but I always had stylish, wild hair.

“When you look at the pictures of me, some with curly hair, some with exotic hair, some with straight hair, you can see how it completely changes your appearance. Also the way I dress changes how I am seen.”

She added: “Journalists can say whatever they like, they can say whatever they feel. I never bother to make a contradiction, because it’s really not my problem.”
