Ageism Be Damned
But this birthday was about more than just sun, sand, and fun. Shields' hair care brand took the opportunity to stand up against age discrimination by debunking some common myths associated with turning 60. In an Instagram Reel, she called out societal nonsense such as "60 means slowing down," "change is only for the twenties," and "it's too late to learn something new."
Honest about Aging
In a candid interview with "Glamour" magazine in 2023, Shields talked about her fears regarding aging, particularly about cosmetic procedures. She shared, "I'm afraid of not looking like myself. The few times I've used Botox, I always got that Spock eye and thought, 'I don't look like myself anymore.'"
However, she still keeps an open mind to other treatments, "But I do Fraxel laser treatments and peels and whatever the newest thing is, I'll try it. I just don't want to stop looking like myself."
The Ultimate Ageless Icon
It's clear that Shields has mastered the art of staying ageless, as evidenced by her bikini-clad photos from the Bahamas back in April. The "Mother of the Bride" star rocked a black and white two-piece, opting for a gold necklace and statement bracelets as accessories. She went makeup-free and looked gorgeous!
