‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein looks truly unrecognisable in throwback photo

Jocelyn Wildenstein, a tabloid fixture for decades thanks to her plastic surgery obsession, has given fans a glimpse at her original face.

“Catwoman” Jocelyn Wildenstein gave fans a look at her natural beauty recently by sharing a rare throwback photo in honour of her daughter Diane’s birthday.

The Swiss socialite, 82, looked like a blond bombshell lounging on a couch with Diane — then a baby — sitting on her lap. With her hair coiffed in a wavy bob, Wildenstein appeared casual and chic while peering off into the distance.

“Happy Birthday to my beautiful daughter Diane Wildenstein #oljogi #jocelynwildenstein,” she captioned the old photo.

Jocelyn’s face is unrecognisable compared to her appearance now after having gone for multiple face lifts, eye lifts and more. Her transformation ultimately led her to be dubbed the “catwoman” given her feline similarities.

Jocelyn’s post comes after she claimed she was broke in light of her late ex-husband Alec Wildenstein’s family cutting her off from her $US100 million annual divorce settlement payment.

Jocelyn was a 90s tabloid fixture thanks to her unusual appearance.

Nowadays, she keeps fans updated via her (heavily filtered) Instagram account.

Needing to an earn an income, Jocelyn decided to film a documentary about her life.

“I have a huge problem with my settlement,” she told The Telegraph last year. “Since eight years, they have completely cut me off.”

Jocelyn rose to fame in the ’90s during her high-profile divorce from Alec, a famous art dealer, from which she received a whopping $US2.5 billion to be divided annually.

She decided to end her 20-year marriage to Alec when he started flaunting his extramarital affairs in public.

The socialite earned an eye-watering sum from a 90s divorce.

“It was getting too obvious. It was young girls and going to the same restaurants we went to. It was no discretion, nothing,” she told the publication.

Alec passed away in 2008 from prostate cancer, and Jocelyn claimed in 2015 the family cut her off, forcing her to file for bankruptcy in 2018.

Her longtime fiance, French-Canadian designer Lloyd Klein, told the publication that the documentary “is her reply” to the public who have criticised her life choices and plastic surgery.

“Jocelyn wants to tell the story with her own voice,” Klein, 57, said.
