76-Year-Old Susan Sarandon Faces Criticism Over Her Style — And Her Response Is Perfect

When people started questioning her choices, Susan Sarandon didn’t argue back — she let a single photo do all the talking.

The legendary actress has enjoyed a decades-long career in Hollywood, from her breakthrough in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) to her iconic performance in Thelma & Louise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination. A few years later, she finally took home the Oscar for her unforgettable role in Dead Man Walking.

Throughout her career, Sarandon has been just as well known for her fearless spirit as for her acting. She’s outspoken, unapologetic, and never afraid to stand up for what she believes in — whether it’s political activism, body positivity, or simply dressing in a way that makes her feel good.

Shutting down critics

Recently, some questioned whether her fashion choices were “appropriate” for her age. Instead of writing a long response, Sarandon shared a throwback photo of herself posing confidently in lingerie. The bold image was her way of reminding critics that she alone decides how to present herself — and it instantly silenced the negativity.

“A picture says more than a thousand words,” fans remarked, praising the actress for embracing her body and refusing to conform to society’s expectations.

Her outlook on aging

Sarandon has been refreshingly candid about getting older. In one interview, she explained that age has given her a sharper perspective:

“When you understand that time is precious, you stop wasting energy on the small stuff and only surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”

When asked about her beauty routine, she kept things simple: laugh often, exercise regularly, eat well, and avoid too much sun. Of course, she added with a smile, having a talented makeup and hair team doesn’t hurt either.

A woman on her own terms

At 76, Susan Sarandon continues to prove that confidence and authenticity never go out of style. She isn’t worried about critics — instead, she focuses on living fully and embracing what matters most.
