I love Andie MacDowell and one of my favorite things about her has been the fact that she looks so naturally beautiful. She’s gorgeous, she seems down-to-earth when I’ve seen her interviewed, and because she seems all natural she’s the perfect spokeswoman for L’oreal. It makes me sad, then, to see her looking all shiny and pulled at the L’oreal Legends Gala last night.
Keep in mind, though, that Andie MacDowell is fifty freaking three years old! I thought she was a hot looking 45, honestly, and I’ve covered her several times here and still had to look up her age. Some of you are going to yell at me and tell me she’s not getting anything done since she has some natural crow’s feet. She looks very waxy and fake to me, and like she’s trying to smile and can only wince. Whatever she’s doing, she hasn’t gone overboard yet and it’s possible the fillers or Botox she’s using will settle. For comparison here are two earlier photos of her. She looks different now, doesn’t she? Also, she’s shown below with her 16 year-old daughter, Sarah Margaret, she’s so pretty!
Oh and in terms of the fashion – both Andie and her daughter’s dresses are lovely. I really like Andie’s full length sparkling v-neck dress. Her daughter’s light blue chiffon gown has a subtle lace panel on the skirt and bow detail at the bodice. It’s very elegant yet sweet and age-appropriate. Sarah is going to be a stunner.

In April, 2010:
Speaking of waxy, here’s Julianna Margulies in red. Her dress is ok. I don’t particularly like the way it’s draped but it’s not bad. Those shoes look orthopedic though! From the side they’re prettier with the heel, but from the front they look like sandals you’d wear around the house.
Kerry Washington wore a very ugly loose bronze dress that did nothing for her gorgeous figure. The cut is bizarre and it has some sort of scarf thing trailing down the back. I like her stacked necklaces and matching earrings though.
This woman Aimee Mullins is a double amputee and an accomplished athlete. But I have to point out that she has Wilma Flintstone hair. That dress looks like it could be a Halloween costume too.
Taraji P. Henson was so hot in form fitting blue. The shoes don’t seem to go with that dress, but I’ll overlook it.
Kelly Rutherford really bugs me for some reason. I can’t explain it really. This dress squashes her boobs and she needs to fill in those eyebrows. Looks like she filled in her cheeks pretty well.
Michael Michele is recognizable to me, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen her. IMDB reminds me that she was on “Homicide” and “ER.” She really owned the red carpet in that teal one shoulder dress. Her feet look like they’re hanging out of her shoes though. She’s another one that looks Botoxy to me. They pretty much all do. Maybe Andie MacDowell really is natural-looking – in comparison.

Q: If botox enhances ones occupation, can it be written off as a business expense? Does anyone know if the ‘stars’ get to write off thier plastic surgery expenses?
Taraji P. Henson’s skin next to her boobs looks sooooooo smooth…almost as if the picture has been photoshopped.
Celebitchy, did you see her in Footloose (the 2011 remake)?
Andie is gorgeous and always has been, but she looked…weathered in that movie. It made me wonder if they could somehow photoshop TV because she always looks amazing in the L’Oreal commercials.
Her daughter is gorgeous – great genes.
i guess a few botox in Andie McDowell’s forehead but it’s all contrary to Margulies(her forehead doesn’t move more since 10 years)
but Taraji Henson’s breast looks very weird
Love Andie!
Was model Noemie Lenoir not there?
For me,she is hands down my most beautiful women around.

@Katyusha, they can do some stuff. I saw once britney music video where they slimmed her.. I wish I had source material to show you.
I love Andie!!! She lives very close to me. Very down to earth.
Really tired of celebrity women selling me things they wouldn’t be caught dead using.
To be fair, Andie MacDowell has never moved her forehead. Go back and watch Green Card, Michael, Groundhog Day, anything. Bitch barely moved her face in the 90s, which may be why she doesn’t have any wrinkles now.
Look, I will be the first to admit that I think that Kerry Washington has had beaucoup de unecessary plastic surgery (nose job, cheek implants, possible skin bleaching) but as for Taraji P. Henson and even Michael Michele I think that it is more of a case of Black not cracking…I mean look at Taraji’s skin on her body, you can’t fake that there. In the face maybe but not on the body.
Also, is Aimee Mullins a double amputee or was she born without fibula? If she is who I think she is, she was in Matthew Barney’s art films and is a model, she was born without the lower part of her legs and she has a ton of artificial legs, some are shaped like boots, some for sports, etc.
Julianna Margulies face looks horrible, like she is in terrible pain.
I love the good wife but I did think she looked kinda off in the new season
She must have treated her self to a lot of botox after the the sucessfull first season
Good God, the genes Andie has! Forever gorgeous!
And her daughter is simply STUNNING.
“Green Card” is one of my all-time favorite films. Best. Ending. Ever. I like when a director trusts the audience to ‘get it’ and doesn’t give you all the answers.
“Deep in your heart, you must believe
That everything is gonna be alright
Someday….”
most of them are wearing too much make up. i think the older you get, the less make up you should wear. it accentuates wrinkles.
i bet andie is even better looking with less makeup and her hair left naturally curly.
The color is nice, but I think Taraji P. Henson’s dress looks cheap with the asymmetrical hemline and swimsuit-ish top.
@carrie – I agree about her breasts. I was wondering if it was a modest boob job. They’re so far apart, and one of them has a (small) grapefruit vibe.

Love Andie; classy and gorgeous!
Andie has always been gorgeous and down to earth. I waited on her when I lived in Missoula MT [she lived there for awhile with her husband/children’s dad, before the divorce]-and her kids were little. I remember her pregnant with her 3rd. and i’d run into her at the health food store, etc.
just amazed at her natural, glowing beauty-seriously, if there is one actress/model who is truly beautiful in real life, it’s Andie.
I know she is not the greatest actress, but there is something unique/alluring about her ‘style’ on screen-persona, voice, mannerisms. I like her in films.
Her ex husband was a model-and very striking to look at-very pretty. Her daughter looks like she got the best combination of both….
Come on. While I do think Andie’s had something done, the photos you’ve chosen as “proof” are ridiculous. In the older photos, she’s laughing/smiling with her mouth wide open, thereby crinkling her face/eyes up considerably. In the top photos, she’s much more subdued, which hides the crow’s feet, etc.
Andie is lovely! Though she looks like Susan Lucci in that top photo: huh?
That’s not botox, that’s her forgetting her 6 pm transformation curfew and reverting to her original form of dampened wood plank. In terms of craft, Stanislavski is to The Method, as MacDowell is to ‘let’s just stick a weasel in a fan belt and call it a day.’
They all look great! Ya they’re probably botoxing but they look way better than PRincess Charlene, any of the Real Housewives, or Nicole Kidman.
Andie M has always been pretty stiff in her face (and her acting), so I don’t see any evidence of botox. I’ve always thought her smile looked painful.
Totally agree about Julianna’s shoes– they are awful. And she has way too much makeup on. She looks like a clown.
I thought Kerry Washington’s dress was really pretty. A
Agree with the poster who said you should wear less makeup as you get older, not more. Although, I suppose since it’s a makeup company they had to slather it on.
^@renee: you are right, she was born without fibula. She’s an athelete – she was in track and field in college. Very fit, very beautiful, legs or no legs.
