Kristin Davis embraced her natural beauty with a new Instagram selfie after she dissolved her facial fillers.
Women in Hollywood, including Davis, have historically been subjected to unfairly applied beauty and aging standards more than men.
While the use of injectable fillers has been a popular cosmetic procedure along with Botox, Davis faced public scrutiny for using the procedure.
In 2021 after dealing with the backlash, the 59-year-old Sex and the City actor dissolved the injection fillers in her face.
Last June, Davis shared her frustration with The Telegraph and told the publication:
“It’s hard to be confronted with your younger self at all times."
“It’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to look like that. The internet wants you to—but they also don’t want you to."
"They’re very conflicted.”
Davis, who reprised her character Charlotte York Goldenblatt for the Sex and the City reboot series And Just Like That... in 2021, continued:
“I have done fillers and it’s been good, and I’ve done fillers and it’s been bad."
“I’ve had to get them dissolved and I’ve been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It’s very stressful.”
She also opened up about the stigma of using fillers and how individuals using them are criticized if the results don't look good.
“People personally blame us when it goes wrong," she said, often overlooking the efforts of cosmetic surgeons.
She added:
"No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time, but luckily I do have good friends who did say eventually.”
On Wednesday, Davis shared a selfie showing off her new hairstyle courtesy of New York celebrity hairstylist Rebekah Forecast.

Davis' new outlook on embracing the aging process follows the same path forged by her former Sex and the City co-star Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones on the comedy series.
Cattrall, who opted out of reuniting with her SATC co-stars to participate in AJLT, divulged to the Daily Mail in an April 2011 interview that she wanted to "embrace aging because I think that’s what’s interesting.”
She noted in the interview that "a forehead without any lines doesn’t tell me they’ve lived a life.”
AJLT wrapped up their second season in August 2023. The show was renewed for a third season, which was announced before the end of season 2.
The third season of AJLT has begun pre-production with a cast table read earlier this week.
