A look back at 'Catwoman' Jocelyn Wildenstein's drastic transformation as she passes away at age 84
Share:
Jocelyn Wildenstein, the woman who was known for her drastically changing face and alleged cosmetic procedures, has passed away at the age of 84. The socialite, who was nicknamed Catwoman due to her pronounced cat eyes and leonine features, certainly went through somewhat of a transformation over the years - but actually denied having plastic surgery at one point.

Jocelyn was born in Lausanne, Switzerland, on August 5, 1940, and it's been reported that she started undergoing cosmetic procedures after she got married to Alec N. Wildenstein in April of 1978. Over the years, she developed slanted cat eyes, a prominent chin, and exaggerated cheek bones.

She was adamant however, that her looks didn't come from plastic surgery, but rather, from her Swiss heritage. Her ex-husband Alec, who died in February 2008, told a different story. He once said: 'She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture. Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen.'.

Throwback photos of Jocelyn prove she needn't have done so as she was certainly a natural beauty before she allegedly went under the knife.
