This is what ‘Catwoman’ looked like in her youth

Over the years, Jocelyne Wildenstein has become famous for her look with slanted, cat-like eyes, “exaggerated” cheekbones and a “prominent” chin, the Daily Mail reports.

On her official Instagram account, ‘Catwoman’, as she was nicknamed, shared photos from her youth and her time as a mother, showing her before and after.

In February 2023, for example, she posted a picture when she was “15 years old” taking “ballet lessons in Switzerland.”

In another memory on the social network from November 2024, she posted a snapshot of her “early years” at Ol Jogi Nature Reserve, Kenya, before she had children.

Previously, in August, he uploaded a postcard to congratulate his daughter Diane on her birthday. In it, both look serene in front of the camera.

“Catwoman” and her subsequent appearance

According to the Daily Mail, it was “reported” that Jocelyne Wildenstein “began undergoing cosmetic surgery after marrying Alec N. Wildenstein in 1978.”

During her divorce, the newspaper explains, she “claimed that she continued to have” procedures in part because her husband “hated being around old people.”

However, later and on more than one occasion, the billionaire denied using the scalpel to alter her face.

In a March 1998 interview with Vanity Fair, she insisted that her cat features were “natural”: “If I show you pictures of my grandmother, what you see are these eyes, cat eyes and high cheekbones.” .

On the same occasion, her ex-husband contradicted her: “I was crazy. […] She thought she could make her face look like a piece of furniture. Skin doesn’t work that way. But he didn’t want to listen.”

In 2018, ‘Catwoman’ defended her position when speaking to DailyMailTV and when asked directly if she had undergone surgery: “No, especially when we look back at my portraits – I think, of course, maybe she was more beautiful then.”
