Charlize Theron, renowned Hollywood actress and vocal critic of unrealistic beauty standards, recently shared her thoughts on the lingering impact of 90s beauty trends. Theron, known for her powerful performances in films like "Fast X," expressed her ongoing struggle with the thin eyebrow trend that dominated the 1990s.
In an interview with InStyle, Theron revealed, "Hands down, the thin eyebrow from the '90s, I’m still recovering from that." The actress candidly discussed one of her biggest beauty regrets, emphasizing that she wishes she had refrained from over-plucking her eyebrows during that era.
Theron acknowledged that Hollywood's beauty standards, especially during the 90s, have left a lasting impact on her. Reflecting on the industry's influence, she mentioned that if given the chance to go back, she would prefer to retire rather than go through those beauty trends again.
The actress highlighted the changing landscape of beauty standards, expressing love for the natural aging process. Theron embraced the idea that faces evolve over time, emphasizing that her face changing and aging is a positive aspect of her journey.
Addressing the scrutiny and speculation surrounding her appearance, Theron dismissed claims of cosmetic procedures, stating, "People think I had a facelift. They’re like, ‘What did she do to her face?’ I’m like, ‘B****, I’m just aging! It doesn’t mean I got bad plastic surgery. This is just what happens.'"
Theron also touched upon the double standards prevalent in Hollywood, particularly regarding aging. She criticized the industry's perception that men age like fine wines while women are expected to conform to unrealistic standards. Theron expressed a desire to challenge and fight against such concepts, advocating for more empathy in embracing the diverse journeys of women.
As Theron continues to make her mark in Hollywood, her openness about beauty standards and aging contributes to ongoing conversations about authenticity and self-acceptance in the entertainment industry.
