It’s normal human instinct and nature to give it our all to look our best. However, aging is a normal process, and while some people are not proud of their aging signs, it’s normal. People now beg to differ as they’ve seen photos of Demi Moore at the SFFilm Awards this week looking flawless and younger than ever despite being 62 years old.
Her iconic appearance
The Golden Globe nominee struck everyone with her flawless looks on the ready carpet at SFFILM’s Awards Night in San Francisco, California. She was wearing a figure-hugging black dress with a black denim jacket, all designed by GapStudio VP Zac Posen.
The accessories she wore
Moore complemented her dazzling yet simple look with a low-key silver chain around her neck with three diamond-encrusted strands. She also wore matching diamond-encrusted earrings and had a special guest on her, her extremely cute and adorable Chihuahua Pilaf.
Paul Skallas gives his take
Skallas took to X, posting the latest pictures of Moore and talking about the “tough standard” that women have to face to look impossibly young until they are old. He said, “Women were just supposed to be hot in their 20s and 30s, but now the expectation is they have to be hot all the way up until they die.”
Comments on the tweet agreed
People agree that the standards nowadays are rough, and in order to meet them, you must have a ton of money on you, otherwise, you will age. Another said, “It’s really unfair to expect 50+ year old women to compete with 20 somethings on the dating market. No wonder people are depressed.”
Moore opens up to People
Moore revealed to People Magazine that throughout her life, she found it normal to place judgment upon herself. “I can look back and go at 20, at 30 I was finding things that weren’t good enough,” she told the outlet. “My relationship with [aging] now is much more in a joyous acceptance.”
The eating disorder was a culprit, too
Some may say, “Oh I wish that was not that way,” but aging is inevitable and Moore came to terms with it. Another thing she had to come to terms with was the eating disorder that she developed amidst her successful Hollywood career.
