Female Celebs Who Are Embracing Aging

Drew Barrymore, known for her performance in 'Never Been Kissed' and for winning a Golden Globe for her role in 'Scream,' is all about natural beauty and prefers to age naturally. The 49-year-old actress said in an interview in July 2017 that "beauty is the truth in the way you age. There is no doubt that no one wants to look old. And yet, it's a battle I choose not to fight because it can't be won. When I see women who have not used fillers or Botox, I love looking at their faces. I love the grace and the story women are telling as they age naturally. I would rather live my life accepting what comes."

Debra Messing, the beloved star of the renowned series 'Will & Grace,' shared her introspections about body image in an interview with Allure in May 2012.

Drawing inspiration from her mother, who instilled in her a cautious attitude towards these procedures, Beckinsale emphasized her radiant appearance without them. Fearing the potential for undesirable outcomes, such as a droopy eye, the actress chooses to adhere to her mother's guidance and embrace a natural and healthy aging process.

Blanchett believes that the evolution of our body's history is important and should not be eradicated. She assures that she doesn't think people look better by having something done, they just look different.
