Jerry Hall Rejects Cosmetic Surgery and Age Rules Ahead of 70th Birthday

Her British Vogue interview makes a case for bodily autonomy by urging acceptance of visible ageing.

Overview

  • Citing British Vogue on June 12, Hall said plastic surgery is imperfect and often makes women look "scary," pointing to recent red-carpet photos as examples.
  • She argued that women should be allowed to "look 70" and embrace wrinkles rather than try to appear decades younger.
  • Hall said some people get surgery for career reasons but added she would "rather retire" than alter her face to stay employable.
  • The interview also rejects strict ideas of "age-appropriate" fashion, with Hall criticising the notion that older women must wear dull colours or cut their hair short.
  • Her comments, given before an upcoming appearance on Celebrity Traitors, feed into a wider debate about ageing, beauty standards and the pressure on women in fashion and entertainment to change their appearance.
