Part 6/9:
Throughout the debate, Anderson’s stance of aging naturally was viewed by some as empowering—a form of protest against society’s obsession with youth. She has been known recently for simplifying her makeup routine or opting for no makeup at events, which some interpret as a rejection of superficial beauty standards.
However, the discussion becomes complex: when public figures like Anderson choose to break from traditional standards, they inevitably invite criticism as well as praise. Critics argue that society should simply accept aging as a natural process without turning it into a spectacle or debate. Yet, because Anderson has made her wardrobe and appearance part of her personal brand, she is subject to both admiration and harsh judgment.
