Oof. It makes her waist look larger and draws attention to her old looking arms. Hard pass.[/quote]

I knew I didn't like this, but it took me a while to figure out why.

Her boobs are RIDICULOUS. I'd want her in something that de-emphasizes them. And yes, cover or give her the option to cover her arms.

Her hair is too long -- not so much because of her age, but because it's getting straggly. Cut a few inches off. Dress in a color.

She looked much nicer at the Golden Globes. [/quote]

I am 60.  Agree with much of what you said. But disagree on the arms.  That is why older women look so matronly at these events -- they are worried about their arms and cover them.  Her arms a great and I think she looks good. Not like she is 20 but good.  If you think she needs to cover her arms, got help us and help you when you turn 60!  We need to set different standards.[/quote]

Agree with you.  There is nothing wrong with her arms.  I am more worried about her face.  She is starting to not look like herself.  I hate it when they do the things that start to make them look alien.  It's so off-putting.  I do not like that people are starting to find those faces to be "normal" on older women and praise them.  Let people age naturally FFS.[/quote]

She's beautiful, but her fight against aging is sad and ironic considering the topic of the movie for which she was nominated. In interviews she talks about accepting yourself yet she doesn't seem to be accepting her reality. It's one thing to be as healthy as you can but another to make yourself look unnatural.

On another note, I think it's time for a new haircut/style.

Well, it’s why Demi was a genius pick for that film.  I feel bad for her, really—she clearly has been through a lot and never had good self esteem.  I think she’s finally getting to a place where she can be comfortable with herself but it’s clearly a work in progress.  I wish she still had Bruce as a support, and I hope her daughters are kind with her.  
And I agree she needs a hair cut.  She looked phenomenal years ago with a blunt cut shoulder length or slightly shorter cut.[/quote]

I feel worse for people like you, who missed that the point of the film is about YOU challenging and reflecting on YOUR perspective, as it is societal pressure that drives women to feel like they have to try to stay young and thing by any means possible. Leave her alone, she's beautiful. She obviously likes her hair that way. GOOD FOR HER. [/quote]

Wait, so saying that she would look better if her hair was six inches shorter makes me part of the patriarchy?  That seems like an extreme take.  She obviously should keep her hair that way if she likes it -- we all do things that we like even though they aren't the most flattering choice for us, because being comfortable in your skin is more important than the most flattering look.  (Like I could look better with more makeup but I choose not to wear it because I don't like it.)  But if she's wearing the hair super long because she thinks that's most flattering, or compelled by societal norms, I think she's making a mistake.  Same for Ivanka and some other women.  I think a lot of women wear their hair too long because they feel like that's what men want.  [/quote]
