When it comes to discussing Gabrielle Union’s naturally stunning looks, the actress wants critics to “get it right!”
During a recent meet-and-greet to promote her and Larry Sims’ SimStyled experience, which they launched in partnership with JCPenney, Union spoke with PEOPLE and shared her favorite hairstyle that provides a “face lift,” while addressing those who assume she has undergone cosmetic surgery to maintain or enhance her appearance.
“A high pony for a lady of a certain age is like a facelift,” the 52-year-old actress explained. She went on to say, “As much as what happens or doesn’t happen with my face is speculated, if you can’t be missing for six months to get a facelift — which I’ve never been missing for six months, get it right — the high pony is going to snatch you here.” She went on to demonstrate, “A pony here is going to snatch you here,” as she gestured to the middle of her head. “And a low [pony], here,” she continued, indicating the back of her neck, according to the news outlet. While many celebrities have opted for surgery to achieve a nearly perfect face, it’s clear that Union has simply been aging like fine wine, without going under the knife.

This isn’t the first time Union has addressed this topic. In June, she discussed the pressures of aging in Hollywood during a Harper’s Bazaar interview. At that time, she stated, “I’m the last person to be judging anybody for what they do for their bodies, and how they live their lives,” when asked about plastic surgery and injectables. “Again, if you like it, I love it.”
Union is not alone in shutting down such rumors. Recently, Lindsay Lohan’s father spoke on her behalf to Page Six, denying any claims of cosmetic work following her surprising transformation.
Michael Lohan asserted, “Lindsay never had any plastic surgery done ever,” exclusively to Page Six. He added, “Her look [is] so natural — just like her talent,” and expressed his discontent with the notion that it is “disgusting” for people to “propagate false narratives” about his daughter.
He did acknowledge that the “Mean Girls” star, 38, has undergone “peels, fillers and Botox,” stating that this is the extent of her cosmetic enhancements.
