NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Jocelyn Wildenstein doubled down on her claims that she's never had plastic surgery as she alleged that her pictures are photoshopped by others. The Swiss-born socialite, dubbed as ‘Catwoman’ due to her feline features, took to her Instagram on Thursday, February 23, to share a picture of herself in her teenage years.
Jocelyn, who often posts heavily filtered images on her social media, apparently shared the old black-and-white pictures as proof that she has never gone under the knife. In the picture, the socialite is seen wearing her shoes, donning a gorgeous mini-skirt dress. She captioned the post writing, "#tbt that’s me #jocelynwildenstein at ballet classes in Switzerland at 15 years old - so maybe you should stop speculating on my image! Press stop!

Why Jocelyn Wildenstein is called 'Catwoman'?
Over the years, Jocelyn, who was previously married to Alec Wildenstein, has been accused of undergoing the knife due to her constantly changing facial features. As per media reports, the socialite has spent millions of dollars on plastic surgery procedures to please her cat-loving, art-dealing husband, who died in February 2008. However, despite the extensive rumors and reporting on the numerous surgical procedures that Wildenstein has undergone over the years - she has always denied any suggestion that she's had surgery.
'I think of course I am maybe more beautiful'
In 2018, the socialite claimed that she had never undergone any form of cosmetic surgery. "No, especially when we look back at my pictures - I think of course I am maybe more beautiful [back then]," she told Daily Mail. Jocelyn added, "When we are young there's a certain freshness we lose with the years. But you still find the same eyes, the same high cheeks, or the same nose. I think I was more pretty."
At that time, her fiance Lloyd Klein, 55, asserted that "I don't understand the whole press and the Catwoman thing because [she has] always looked like that. She never really did anything to change her face. I have pictures from 16 years old where she looks exactly the same as today. Look, Jocelyn is beautiful, she's magical. The first time I met her, I was almost mesmerized by the beauty, eyes, the personality. And I work in fashion and I see all these supermodels, and I see everyone, and I see the most beautiful women on the runway, right? But Jocelyn has something to offer that not a lot of women have."
