Last week, Kate Beckingsale turned up at the Cannes Film Festival to attend one of the big premieres and the annual amfAR gala (which is staged within the festival). I’m including photos of Kate from both appearances. Kate is 49 years old and she looks great for her age or any age. Her skin looks amazing, her figure is to die for and she looks like a woman who spends a lot of time, money and effort into maintaining her appearance. All of that is fine – different strokes for different folks, etc. What I find remarkable is how Kate is consistently indignant at the suggestion that her maintenance might not be all-natural, that’s had some good-quality cosmetic work over the years. Two years ago, Kate swore up and down that she hasn’t had any work done and she “wouldn’t even get a facial” because she’s terrified of something going wrong if she gets Botox or some kind of cosmetic surgery. Sure. Well, Kate is at it again.
While Kate Beckinsale wowed on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet last week in a bedazzled sheer romper with a dramatic train, her outfit wasn’t the only thing attracting attention on social media. The 49-year-old — who rocked the Zuhair Murad Couture ensemble at the “The Pot-au-Feu” premiere on May 24 — attracted quite a few haters on her Instagram post from the glam evening, with many accusing her of getting plastic surgery.
“please tell me you had a facelift because it’s not possible to be this gorgeous at 50,” one fan commented, prompting Beckinsale to respond to the Instagram user (along with several others) to defend her youthful looks.
“no threads no thread lift no Botox no laser no nose job no filler,” the “Serendipity” actress wrote. She continued by explaining she does get “facials with prp to boost collagen and micro current for skin tightening and oxygen,” adding, “I probably would try laser but I’m a bit scared . Haven’t so far.”
Her comment seemingly prompted another fan to write, “Lol why do Celebrities have to deny their face procedures? Just dont lie about it ..she still looks great!”
Beckinsale — who said in 2021 she doesn’t think about aging “that much” — clapped back, “I haven’t had a facelift or filler or Botox. I’m not lying and I don’t have to accept people accusing me of things I haven’t done.”
She continued her commenting spree by telling another Instagram user who asked, “whatever happened to aging naturally..so sad” that she has “no filler” and “don’t be sad for me. X.”
Further down in the “Underworld” actress’ comments section, Beckinsale replied to another remark accusing her of getting “botox and fillers,” revealing that she has a medical condition that keeps her from wanting to do so.
“I actually can’t I have a condition called mast cell activation syndrome which is actually a massive daily struggle and means I react to hundreds of things badly,” she wrote. “Can’t take the risk.”
“Actually, I have a rare condition which makes it impossible for me to get Botox or fillers” is kind of hilarious given, you know, her face. Again, Kate looks amazing. She could pass for a woman in her early 30s. She’s beautiful and she takes care of herself. But she’s absolutely gotten some stuff done to her face over the years. Maybe it’s not the Courteney Cox Special, maybe it’s not technically “Botox,” but seriously, this is not the face of a woman who has aged completely naturally for decades.
