Susan Sarandon Shuts Down Critics with One Powerful Photo

Susan Sarandon is undoubtedly one of the most iconic actresses of her generation — and just like on screen, she’s never been one to hold back in real life either.

So when people started questioning her choices, Sarandon had the perfect response.

The award-winning actress has had an incredible career, from her breakout role as Janet Weiss in the 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show to critically acclaimed performances in films like Thelma & Louise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She later took home the Oscar for her powerful role in Dead Man Walking.

Beyond her work in Hollywood, Sarandon has long been an outspoken advocate for body positivity and self-expression. She’s known for her bold fashion sense, her unapologetic attitude, and her willingness to stand up for causes she believes in.

At a recent red carpet event, Sarandon turned heads by wearing a white jacket over a black bra — a daring look that drew some criticism. One journalist even called the outfit “totally inappropriate.”

But Sarandon didn’t waste time arguing. Instead, she let a picture do the talking.

She posted a vintage photo of herself in her underwear, proudly showing off her figure. No explanation needed — the image spoke volumes about confidence, agency, and knowing exactly who you are. With that one post, Sarandon effortlessly silenced anyone questioning what was “appropriate” for her.

Now in her seventies, Sarandon has a refreshing attitude toward aging. She once shared in an interview, “When you realize your time isn’t endless like it feels when you’re young, you don’t waste energy on the small stuff. You only keep people around you who are vital, curious, brave, and adventurous.”

As for her beauty secrets? Sarandon keeps it simple: “Laugh a lot, get a normal amount of exercise, eat well, and stay out of the sun,” she said. Of course, she added with a smile, “Having an amazing makeup and hair team helps, too.”

Susan Sarandon proves that age, confidence, and self-expression are a powerful combination — and she’s not about to let anyone tell her otherwise.
