Her famous counterparts got dressed up to the nines as well. While O’Donnell sported a simple blazer, a black top, pants, and spectacles, Wilson shone bright in a sparkly off-the-shoulder gown and closed-toe heels. She accessorized with silver jewelry and carried a clutch bag.

An interviewer asked the ladies whether or not they think the entertainment industry has changed, and if so, what about it. Responding with a playfully cheeky remark and a laugh, Griffith answered, “Wow, I think it’s gotten a lot tackier .”

“Melanie Griffith looks so much better now, a derp plane facelift looks so much more nstural than tons of fillers [sic],” added an Instagrammer.
Far from denying getting enhancement work done, Melanie Griffith has been forthright and honest about her past use of cosmetic procedures and the transformation her appearance underwent as a result.

Initially pleased with the results, her perspective shifted dramatically after receiving negative comments about her altered appearance. This prompted her to take action and begin dissolving the fillers.
“I never would have known this was Melanie Griffith. She’s beautiful but unrecognizable. Sad,” one person tweeted. Another shared, “Melanie Griffith has had that level of plastic surgery that renders one unrecognizable as who they once were.”

The Hollywood star added that she hopped she looked “normal now” after seeking help from another doctor to have the “awful” work she had done reversed.
Alongside her journey to undo regrettable cosmetic procedures, Griffith has also become an advocate for sun safety. In 2018, she took to Instagram to share a bare-faced selfie with a bandage on her nose, a result of treatment for basal cell skin cancer.

In November of that same year, Griffith revealed a chic new haircut. Social media users flooded her comments with admiration, with one fan noting, “So beautiful.”
In April, she turned heads in an all-white ensemble at the Unforgettable Evening charity event in Beverly Hills. The event also featured another impromptu reunion with her “Now and Then” co-stars, Moore and Wilson, adding a nostalgic touch to the glamorous event.
