Susan Sarandon responded to outfit critics with a confident throwback photo and a powerful message on aging, style, and self-worth.
Susan Sarandon has long been a Hollywood icon—and she’s never been afraid to speak her mind. From The Rocky Horror Picture Show to Thelma & Louise and her Oscar-winning role in Dead Man Walking, she’s built a career on talent, grit, and authenticity.
That same confidence showed up on the red carpet when she wore a white jacket over a black bra. Some called the look “inappropriate.” Instead of arguing, Sarandon replied with a single photo: a throwback of herself in underwear, proudly owning her body and her choices. It was the perfect answer—short, bold, and unapologetic.
Sarandon has always embraced body positivity and personal style. She focuses on what matters most: purpose, people, and presence. Reflecting on aging, she’s said that understanding time is precious helps her avoid “the small stuff” and surround herself with curious, brave, and adventurous people.
As for “beauty secrets,” she keeps it real: laugh often, move your body, eat well, and stay out of the sun. And yes—having a great hair and makeup team helps.
At 78, Sarandon continues to set her own rules—on screen and in life. Her message is simple: wear what makes you feel like you. Confidence never goes out of style.
