Susan Sarandon, a name that evokes both talent and authenticity, has been hailed not only for her iconic film roles, but also for her bold, unfiltered attitude towards life. At 78, the legendary actress continues to fascinate audiences and generate headlines, often for her candid and courageous stances on various issues. However, on this occasion, it was not her opinions that caused a stir, but her choice of wardrobe, something she knew how to handle with absolute mastery.
Renowned for her unforgettable portrayal of Janet Weiss in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and her Oscar-winning performance in Dead Man Walking , Sarandon has never been afraid to make a statement both on and off-screen. At a recent red carpet event, the actress opted for an ensemble consisting of a white jacket and a black bra, a choice that some deemed provocative. One journalist even called it “totally inappropriate.” But far from justifying her decision with words, the veteran star decided to respond in the most Susan Sarandon way possible.
With wit and determination, Sarandon posted an old photo of herself posing in her underwear, proudly showing off her figure. The image said it all, sending a strong message to her critics: she is the owner of her own style and does not need anyone’s approval. With this gesture, she put an end to any debate about what is or is not “appropriate” for her, making it clear that she only follows her own rules.
Her view on aging is as bold as her fashion sense. Rather than worrying about age, Sarandon embraces it gracefully, focusing on what really matters to her. “When you’re young, you feel like time is infinite, but over the years you learn that it’s a valuable resource,” she said in an interview. For her, the essential thing is to live authentically and surround yourself with curious, brave and adventurous people, rather than wasting time on superficial concerns.
As for her secret to maintaining her timeless beauty, Sarandon offers a simple but effective piece of advice: “Laugh a lot, exercise, eat well and avoid the sun .” Of course, a great makeup and styling team helps too, but what really makes her shine is her attitude towards life. Her unwavering confidence and passion for what she does have made her an everlasting icon, in and out of Hollywood.
