78-Year-Old Susan Sarandon Faces Criticism Over Her Fashion Choices
Susan Sarandon is widely regarded as one of the most iconic actresses of her generation. Known not only for her powerful performances on screen but also for her unapologetic and outspoken personality in real life, she has never been one to shy away from speaking her mind.
Throughout her illustrious career, Sarandon has made a significant impact in Hollywood. Her breakthrough role as Janet Weiss in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show solidified her place as a talented actress. She continued to thrive in the industry, earning widespread critical acclaim for roles in films like Thelma & Louise, for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She eventually won an Oscar for her portrayal in Dead Man Walking.
Sarandon has always been a vocal advocate for body positivity and is known for expressing herself freely through her fashion choices. Her bold and unapologetic style has been an extension of her strong personality, and she’s never been afraid to speak out about the causes she supports.
This was evident when, at a red carpet event, she wore a white jacket paired with a black bra, which caused some stir among critics. One journalist even went so far as to describe her outfit as “totally inappropriate.”
Rather than engaging in a debate, Sarandon chose to respond in her own unique way. She posted an old photograph of herself in her underwear, confidently showcasing her figure. By doing so, Sarandon let the image speak for itself, shutting down any critics who felt the need to judge what was “appropriate” for her to wear.
The actress is unconcerned about the passage of time and instead prioritizes what truly matters to her. In a recent interview, she shared her perspective on aging, explaining, “When you’re young, time feels endless and not finite.” She went on to say, “As you gain an understanding that time is precious, you start to avoid wasting energy on trivial matters and focus on surrounding yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”
When asked about her approach to maintaining her beauty, Sarandon offered a simple yet effective answer: “If you want to age gracefully, probably laugh a lot, get the right amount of exercise, eat well, and stay out of the sun. Those are the main things.” She also acknowledged the importance of having a great makeup and hair team to help keep her looking her best.
