Jenna Lyons Champions Personal Choice in Cosmetic Surgery: “Do What Feels Right”
Jenna Lyons, a fierce advocate for self-acceptance and the star of “Real Housewives of New York,” recently opened up about her evolving views on cosmetic surgery in an exclusive chat with People Magazine. At 56, Lyons is calling out society’s judgmental attitudes, insisting that whether or not to enhance one’s appearance is a deeply personal choice. “We’re all so goddamn judgmental,” she remarked, encouraging everyone to “do whatever works for you” and embrace their individuality.
Lyons, who commands attention not only for her iconic fashion background but also her candidness about aging, acknowledges her own struggles with self-image, especially after seeing herself on screen. “I was really hard on myself about the way I looked,” she confessed, revealing that she often compared herself to younger women. However, she has since learned to take a softer approach to her self-critique, especially after experiencing a wave of positive feedback about her decision to embrace her natural grays.
The beauty mogul also shared her thoughts on cosmetic procedures, expressing excitement at the prospect but also noting a hesitation around fillers. “They scare me because I love expressions and visible emotions,” she explained. Instead, she finds joy in natural skincare rituals, raving about Shiseido’s Vital Perfection Uplifting and Firming Advanced Cream for its mood-boosting properties.
During a panel at Shiseido’s Potential Has No Age Summit, she joined supermodel Linda Evangelista and Shiseido’s CMO Agnes Landau to discuss navigating beauty standards in one’s fifties and sixties. Lyons joked about her trust in Japanese products, crediting them for their meticulous attention to detail. “I’ll trust anyone Japanese,” she quipped, highlighting her commitment to holistic wellness practices that celebrate natural beauty.
In a world that often prioritizes youth, Lyons’ refreshing mantra of kindness towards oneself is a message we could all benefit from. With insights like hers, the conversation around aging and cosmetic surgery is shifting from judgment to acceptance, emphasizing that at the end of the day, it’s all about what makes you feel good in your own skin.
