>During Tuesday’s episode, the 67-year-old Four Weddings and a Funeral actress joined host Drew Barrymore’s “50 F— Its” panel via video message to call out the unfair societal expectation that women must always “look young” even as they get older.
>“Our dear friend of the show who comes here all the time — and someone I worked with when I was 16 years old — the great Andie MacDowell, she sent us in a video,” Barrymore explained before the clip, referencing their 1994 Western Bad Girls. “And I think it really talks about and addresses some of the expectations that we put on ourselves, that society puts on us. Take a look at this.”
>In the video, MacDowell could be seen standing in a doorway dressed in a floral button-up, tweed blazer, and silver glasses.
>“I love you, Drew! Thank you for doing this,” she began. “I look back at my grandmother, who was the matriarch. A strong woman. We just revered her. We respected her. We never would’ve ever expected her to look young. That was not a concept that existed.”
>MacDowell went on to note that this expectation to fit into the standard of beauty has only caused women harm as they age throughout their lives.
>“This concept has demeaned us as we age. It has now made us feel shameful,” she pointed out. “I have three little grandchildren and I’m gonna be a grandmother for them and I’m gonna look like I’m supposed to look, because I love myself. And I don’t have to look young. And I love you for doing this!”
Take that expectations
Women are women’s harshest critics. It’s competitive out there. High heels, make up, hair extensions… it’s all to make you look like something you’re not. But then when you get to sixty you cant pull off the ridiculous make up and heels because you might fall over and hurt yourself, now it’s society’s problem.
It’s just part of the aging process. Get over yourself. Guaranteed this woman didn’t give a hoot about 60 year olds when she was a twenty something.
I’m a straight white guy and every piece of accoutrement and disguise (beyond the subtle basics) you *don’t* have on adds to your attractiveness to *me*. I am a visual person and I generally see through all that stuff, and its presence reads like a bunch of little distractions. I think we make a passing read of people’s fitness, genetically and bodily, and we want that knowledge quickly and honestly. This seems to come from a very old part of the brain, and not from cultural indoctrination. Plus, the more time spent at the makeup table the less time doing something interesting. Interested people are interesting. I think I’m on the extreme end of being visually driven, so take it all with a grain of salt. I’d wager to some it doesn’t matter much, or they might even like makeup and plastic surgery.
Woman who always was, and still is attractive for her age bravely continues to look attractive.
Slammed it like a door!
I think she still stunning.
Least she doesn’t have the filler face. That’s a disturbing look.
YES! My mother was one of those youth chasing ladies. It’s such a miserable existence. I chose to not live this way.
I love being a Nana with gray hair and laugh lines. I earned all of it.
Said the former super model.
