‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein Looks Unrecognizable in Old Photo

Jocelyn Wildenstein, often referred to as “Catwoman” due to her striking feline-like features attained through numerous cosmetic surgeries, appears remarkably different in a rare older photograph shared to celebrate her daughter’s birthday.

The 82-year-old recently posted a throwback picture on Instagram showcasing a younger version of herself holding her daughter Diane as an infant, reported by Page Six. In the photograph, Wildenstein exudes chic blonde bombshell vibes with glamorous makeup and perfectly styled hair, gazing into the distance while cradling her daughter.

“Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter Diane Wildenstein,” she lovingly captioned the nostalgic mother-daughter image.

The throwback photograph provides a glimpse into a side of the Swiss-born New York City socialite that many might not recognize. Over the years, Wildenstein has undergone several cosmetic procedures, such as multiple facelifts and eye lifts, significantly altering her appearance. These transformations have earned her the nickname “Catwoman,” according to Page Six.

People magazine notes that Wildenstein gained much attention in the 1990s during her highly publicized divorce from billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein after 20 years of marriage. She once revealed to Vanity Fair that she and her ex-husband embarked on some of their initial plastic surgeries together, mentioning that she continued undergoing procedures because he “hates to be with old people.”

However, Wildenstein has insisted that not all her features are solely the result of cosmetic surgeries. She stated, “The lynx has perfect eyes. If I show you pictures of my grandmother, what you see are these eyes — cat eyes — and high cheekbones.”
