Goldie Hawn, 79, Stuns in Silky Lace Gown for a New Photoshoot, Causing a Stir
Fans lash out at Goldie Hawn’s ‘disappointing’ design decision as her glitzy new photo session goes sour due to circulating rumors regarding cosmetic treatment.
On August 31, 2025, the renowned Goldie Hawn and Perfect Magazine shared a magnificent yet contentious carousel of photos in which the 79-year-old actress posed in a number of fanciful, dreamy stances for the magazine’s ninth edition. However, what started out as a celebration of joyous elegance and antique beauty swiftly turned into a heated argument – about fur and filters.
At first, the Hollywood icon’s bright charisma and fun energy captivated netizens. However, many internet watchers were left wondering, “Is that really Goldie?” under the exquisite clothing and subdued lighting. And does she actually have that on?
Filtered Fantasy in Fur or Golden Girl? A Beautiful Photograph Sparks a Wave of Powerful Reactions
The shoot, which was photographed by renowned Yasmine Diba, exuded classic elegance with a humorous touch. In one picture, Hawn is seen grinning on a sunny porch while sporting her own pinstriped outfit over a black top. The picture is surrounded by white columns and flowers in bloom.
Another depicts her sitting elegantly in front of a baroque fireplace while surrounded by beautiful foliage and serene garden statuary. She is wearing a shimmering olive jumpsuit with a dramatic cape from New York Vintage Inc.
Meanwhile, the close-ups focused on each opulent element, including a vintage jewelry, plush jewel-toned pillows, and a flowing Dsquared2 kaftan. The humorous tone of the piece was hinted at by the magazine cover, which featured Hawn next to a lifelike cow statue, wearing a strapless black Norma Kamali gown, and dripping with Gucci and Cartier jewels.
“Relaxing in her Californian home, Hollywood golden girl and doyenne of goofball talks to Perfect about the divine power of comedy, understanding the human brain, and her unrelenting love of cows. 🐮 ✨,” the headline reads.
Goldie Hawn shares a powerful quote about “God’s Work,” but one image instantly incites outrage.
In large pink letters, the star was cited on one presentation as saying, “Being funny? Making others chuckle? That’s God’s work, to be honest. Correct?” However, when fans saw Hawn dressed in a bulky Prada coat and draped in a brown, satin slip dress, the playful tone abruptly changed, shocking some and angering others.
The reaction was quick. “I adore Goldie, but fur? One fan said, “So disappointed 😢😢.” “Is that real fur?” said another echo. How disappointed. The criticism continued, with one commenter writing, “So ashamed she has fur, terrible terrible.” I was completely mistaken in my assessment of her. Another person said, “That fur coat ruins the picture.”
Is It Too Easy to Be True? Fans Blame Excessive Filters
Others, on the other hand, were quick to criticize what they perceived as over-editing, saying that the images seemed filtered. According to one individual, Hawn was almost unrecognizable because to the extensive retouching. Defenders, however, intervened equally swiftly.
“Goldie is a lovely woman and a decent person who tries her hardest to enjoy life and supports many worthwhile causes. One follower said, “It doesn’t matter that the photos are filtered; she looks amazing [sic].” Another exclaimed, “Goldie [sic], you are amazing! “We adore you!”
Was That Fur Really There? The Real Story of Prada’s Divisive Coat
Many people didn’t appear to realize that the Prada coat in question might not have been genuine fur at all because emotions were running high. The Italian design brand actually outlawed animal fur in public beginning with its women’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection.
In order to give ethical fashion and innovation top priority, the brand announced in May 2019 that it was joining the International Fur Free Retailer Program in collaboration with the Fur Free Alliance, a global coalition of animal protection organizations.
Head designer Miuccia Prada said at the time, “The Prada Group is committed to innovation and social responsibility,” adding that the prohibition permitted artistic freedom while satisfying the growing desire for fashion that reflects compassion.
Prada also disclosed that animal fur is no longer a part of their design philosophy and that it would keep selling materials like sheepskin and calfskin, which are by-products of the meat industry, until supplies ran out.
Given this, it’s likely that Hawn’s contentious coat was made of fake fur, something that many people overlooked in the midst of the commotion. Nevertheless, the criticism emphasizes how closely celebrities—even those with decades of goodwill behind them—are scrutinized.
Surfaces of Cosmetic Chatter Rumors Are Started by Goldie Hawn’s Oscars Appearance
The actress’s appearance has previously generated a lot of interest and conjecture. Her glowing red carpet appearance at the 2025 Academy Awards in March sparked speculation among the public about whether Goldie Hawn had resorted to cosmetic treatments.
The “Private Benjamin” actress dazzled in floor-length glitz while sporting a custom butter-yellow Dolce & Gabbana gown crystallized with Swarovski crystals. She accessorized the ensemble with her signature golden curls, an 18-carat Briony Raymond diamond ring, and a dazzling SABYASACHI chain-link necklace.
In a fitted suit and satin bow tie, both by Dolce & Gabbana, her longtime companion Kurt Russell proudly stood by her side, demonstrating once more why, even after 40 years together, they continue to be one of Hollywood’s most lasting love stories.
Stunning vs. Too Much Plastic Surgery: Goldie Hawn’s Face Is Divided Among Fans
Although many were enthralled by the pair’s stunning look, online criticism took a scathing turn. Our readers quickly voiced their conjectures in the comments area of a since-deleted post we shared on Facebook regarding Hawn’s Oscars appearance. Her allegedly changed visage disappointed one AmoMama reader, who pointed out that the star’s lips were a dead giveaway.
Although they thought Hawn’s face did not seem natural, they commended the couple and insisted that she cease having augmentation work done.
Another person said rather frankly that Hawn has undergone too much plastic surgery. However, not everyone agreed. In response to the rumors, one fan emphasized Hawn’s wrinkles, which they described as graceful, and insisted that they did not witness any Botox or plastic surgery.
One admirer raved about Hawn’s beauty, while another even called her one of the most elegant women present.
A Touching Oscars Reminiscence
Hawn’s attendance at the Oscars solidified her place as a Hollywood legend amid the beauty controversies. She was a presenter alongside Oprah Winfrey, Joe Alwyn, Sterling K. Brown, Willem Dafoe, Ana de Armas, Selena Gomez, Connie Nielsen, and Ben Stiller.
The show was stolen by one poignant moment. Andrew Garfield, Hawn’s co-presenter, gave a moving homage before reading the nominees before Hawn took the stage to present Best Animated Film.
“There is a person who brought my mother the greatest comfort and delight throughout her life. And I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to express my sincere gratitude to that individual tonight. Goldie Hawn is that individual,” he stated.
Reacting visibly moved, Hawn said, “Thank you, sweetie, that really touches me.” Garfield went on, “You’ve given us movies full of joy, you’ve lifted our spirits, and you’ve made us feel that all is right with the world, over and over and over again.”
With grace, the well-known actress said, “I simply adored it. I was extremely fortunate to be able to make people laugh while filming in this magnificent Hollywood. Perhaps some didn’t, but that’s alright.
In a somewhat self-deprecating turn of events, she joked that she was “completely blind” and had cataracts, so she required Garfield’s assistance reading the teleprompter.
A Legend in the Public Eye, but at What Price?
Hawn’s image is being scrutinized more than ever before, from her dazzling Oscars performance to the faux-fur controversy. One thing is certain, regardless of whether she is praised for her comic skills or chastised for her style choices: the world still can’t turn away.
