14 DAY TRIAL // 63-year-old socialite and former wife of a millionaire Jocelyn Wildenstein is still not happy about the way she looks, even after spending an estimated $3.5 million to look this way. Wildenstein made a rare public appearance the other night with a mystery man believed to be her boyfriend, and her frozen, deformed face is again being used as a warning to all women who want to have plastic surgery.
“She has spent more than £2million altering her face only to emerge as a stark warning against too much cosmetic surgery. But just when it seems Jocelyn Wildenstein’s face couldn’t get any more terrifying, she was seen in Los Angeles looking strangely swollen and bloated. Perhaps it was the result of yet another tweak by her plastic surgeon, whom she has visited regularly over the years to work on her trout pout and bizarre taut look.” the British Daily Mail writes.
Other publication and celebrity blogs, as one can easily imagine, are not as delicate when describing how Jocelyn looks now. No wonder, they say, she has come to be referred in the media as the “Bride of Wildenstein,” a clear swing at the Bride of Frankenstein, or “Catwoman,” hinting at the socialite’s initial attempt at making her features more “feline like.”
Jocelyn’s story is by now almost a legend: married to a millionaire, when she reached her 50s, she began to be very insecure about her looks. Her husband loved cats immensely, so she imagined she might rekindle the spark if she got some work done on her face to make her appearance more feline. Initially, it worked, reports have it and the two were happy for a short while, but her husband’s eye began to wander again shortly afterwards. Now, seven face lifts, eye reconstruction surgery, and countless collagen injections to the lips, cheeks and chin later, Jocelyn Wildenstein looks like this.
“After countless surgeries – no one can say with certainty just how many – Jocelyn the Swiss beauty disappeared, and ‘The Queen of the Jungle’ took her place. Jocelyn’s appearance was indeed striking. The first time Alec saw his new wife, it is said he screamed at the sudden appearance of this creature that confronted him. Naturally, Jocelyn was disappointed, and returned to her plastic surgeon for more work. It is rumored that several prospective patients ran screaming from the office, so concerned were they that they would end up looking like Jocelyn.” Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery says of how Wildenstein came to look like this.
However, when asked directly about the kind of work she’s had done to her face, Jocelyn invariably replies, “No more or less than any other woman,” the same e-zine says.
