Donna Mills, 85, Answers Ageist Makeup Comment With Playful Instagram Reel

Her playful reel turns an ageist remark into a claim to personal style.

Overview

  • Dona Mills, who shared the Reel on Sunday, April 5, responded to a comment that said she wears “too much makeup for your age.”
  • In the video, she snaps from full glam to a gray-wig, glasses, high-neck blouse look, asks “Did you want me to look like this?”, then says “Sorry, not sorry” and adds that style does not expire.
  • Support poured in from fans and celebrities, including Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Nancy Sinatra, Kyle Richards, Heather Dubrow and Tracey Bregman.
  • She captioned the post “I said what I said 🤍” and added the hashtags #style, #aging, #makeup, #clapback and #armchairwarrior.
  • The response aligns with her long-standing beauty persona from her Knots Landing era, when she created a makeup tutorial later distributed by Universal.
