78-year-old Susan Sarandon criticized for her clothing – has the perfect response for haters

Beyond her acting career, Sarandon has remained a vocal advocate for body positivity, personal expression, and social justice. She has always embraced her individuality and remains steadfast in her beliefs, never letting societal norms dictate how she should live her life.

It was at a red carpet event that her choice of outfit sparked controversy. Sarandon, ever the icon of self-expression, donned a sleek white jacket over a black bra, exuding confidence and sophistication. However, some critics were quick to scrutinize her ensemble, with one journalist going as far as to call it “totally inappropriate.”

Instead of engaging in a debate over what was considered “appropriate” for her, Sarandon chose a far more powerful response. She took to social media and posted a throwback picture of herself, posing confidently in her underwear. With this simple yet bold move, she silenced the critics, proving that she refuses to conform to anyone’s expectations of how a woman—especially one in Hollywood—should present herself. Her message was clear: she decides what is appropriate for her, and she does so on her own terms.

Sarandon has also spoken openly about aging, embracing the natural progression of life rather than fearing it. In a candid interview, she shared her perspective on growing older, stating, “When your sense of time has an ending and isn’t finite, like how it feels when you’re young… When you have an understanding that time is precious—you have a tendency not to waste energy on the small stuff and only to surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”
