Susan Sarandon remains one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, celebrated not only for her acting talent but also for her outspoken, unapologetic personality. With a career spanning decades, Sarandon has earned both critical acclaim and commercial success, with memorable roles like Janet Weiss in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Thelma in Thelma & Louise, the latter earning her an Academy Award nomination. She later won an Oscar for her role in Dead Man Walking.

Beyond her work on screen, Sarandon is also recognized for her strong stance on body positivity and self-expression through fashion. During a red carpet appearance, she wore a white jacket with a black bra underneath, which drew some criticism. One journalist labeled the outfit “totally inappropriate.” Instead of defending herself verbally, Sarandon responded with a bold move: she shared a past photo of herself in lingerie, confidently embracing her appearance and her right to wear what she chooses.

Her outlook on aging is similarly unfiltered and empowering. In a candid interview, she shared that aging has given her perspective, saying, “When you have an understanding that time is precious, you tend not to waste energy on the small stuff and only surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”

When asked about her beauty routine, Sarandon keeps it simple. “Laugh a lot, get the normal amount of exercise, eat well, and stay out of the sun,” she said. And though she credits her makeup and hair team, it’s clear her timeless beauty comes from an inner confidence and a commitment to living authentically.
