When namedGlamour’sglobal Women of the Yearearlier this month, Anderson opened up about wearing less makeup — a decision she first embraced publicly in September 2023 during Paris Fashion Week. “I’ve just done it and I’ve played with it,” Anderson told the outlet for a digital cover. “I’ve nothing against makeup, but I felt like it just looked better on me in my 20s than it did now."

“You’re going to hit a crossroads in your 50s, and you go, Am I going to chase youth? Am I going to be miserable? Or am I going to be self-accepting? And it’s a practice," she added. “And it’s hard to say that you’re attempting all this if you’re still doing the red carpets and the covers of magazines plastered in makeup.”
