Another big star, Nicole Kidman, was also present at the 2024 Governors Awards, and both actresses shared a lighthearted moment on the red carpet, posing together and exchanging laughs.
Their camaraderie and stunning ensembles captured the attention of attendees and photographers alike.

Fans flooded Moore with admiration, praising the 62-year-old for her timeless beauty and youthful appearance. One admirer wrote, ”Demi looks amazing, 62! Wow!” Another added, ”I think she looks incredible. So, what if she’s had work. She looks healthy and full of energy.”

Also, many observers remarked that the star appeared more natural in her recent appearance, suggesting she may have reduced her use of certain beauty procedures.

One fan remarked, ”She looks incredible! I’m glad she took that cheek filler out. She’s definitely had some work done, but it’s top quality, she looks a decade younger than her age.” Another also noted, ”New eyelids and cheek fillers removed. She looks much better.”

Demi Moore continues to captivate audiences with her red carpet appearances. A few months ago, she stole the spotlight at the Cannes Film Festival, donning a daring all-white ensemble.

 

Demi Moore’s real personality revealed as co-star opens up about working with her

When film director Coralie Fargeat was looking for two actresses to play “two faces of the same coin” – but with a 30-year age difference – she chose Demi Moore, 61, and Margaret Qualley, 30. Not that the two remotely resemble one another.

According to the French feminist filmmaker, it was more about selecting “two powerful actresses” who could handle the physical and symbolic demands of her body horror movie, The Substance.

In the film, Demi’s fading celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle – sacked from her daily TV show after turning 50 – takes a black-market drug; a substance that temporarily creates a younger, better version of herself. Enter Margaret’s sexy Sue, a young woman who is both angelic and libidinous.

The daughter of Green Card and Four Weddings and a Funeral star Andie MacDowell, one might imagine Margaret always dreamed of following in her mum’s footsteps although, in truth, she initially trained as a ballet dancer – a skill which helped her enormously in portraying TV work-out star Sue.

Like her mum, she found herself in big demand as a model, making her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week at the tender age of 16.

By time she turned 18, she had switched her focus from ballet to drama, and she quickly gained notice with roles in The Nice Guys, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Kinds of Kindness.

But The Substance – and its themes about how women’s bodies are scrutinized, fantasized about and criticized in the public forum – really struck a chord with Margaret, even if she is still too young to have experienced the brutal rejections associated with ageism.

“I think one of the reasons why I gravitated towards this was because it’s talking about topics that, unfortunately, are super present in everybody’s lives – but in this kind of elegant, fantastical way that makes it exciting,” says the actress who spent five months making the film in Paris.

“I grew up a dancer, and then I modelled, and then started acting.  In every single step of the path, there’s been an incredible amount of pressure on the idea of being perfect, especially within the dance world, where there’s a very specific thing that you’re reaching towards.”

Born in Montana, then moving to North Carolina as a child, Margaret and her older brother Justin, and musician/actress sister Rainey, enjoyed an idyllic childhood between their divorced parents – Andie and Paul Qualley, a rancher and former model.

After dating actors Nat Wolff, Pete Davidson and Shia LaBeouf, Margaret found her own rom com happy ending 15 months ago when she wed Grammy-winning songwriter/producer Jack Antonoff in New Jersey.

Margaret’s role comes almost 40 years after her mum starred alongside Demi in coming-of-age drama St Elmo’s Fire and she says the actress did not disappoint.

 “There isn’t a more committed actress, more hardworking, compelling actress . . . or supportive,” she says. “She’s fantastic to work with. And so, I’m just trying to keep up.”

Demi Moore recalls a producer telling her to lose weight: ‘Embarrassing and humiliating’

“There is a lot of torment I put myself through when I was younger,” she said.

Demi Moore is opening up about her struggles with her body.

In a Nov. 14 interview with Elle, Moore revealed she developed an eating disorder when she was younger because of the immense pressures she felt in Hollywood.

“There is a lot of torment I put myself through when I was younger,” she said. “The perfect example is when I was told to lose weight multiple times. The producer pulled me aside. It was very embarrassing and humiliating. But that’s just one thing.”

“How I internalized it and how it moved me to a place of such torture and harshness against myself, of real extreme behaviors, and that I placed almost all the value of who I was on my body being a certain way — that’s on me,” she continued.

Over time, Moore has grown to love her body, especially in a society that prizes youth.

“Too often, we’re looking at the better us as somewhere outside of us,” Moore explained. “And the truth is, all of the answers, all of the resources, everything is within us.”

Moore once got some helpful advice from her 33-year-old daughter, Scout Willis. She says Scout told her that she wanted to “quit wasting time focusing on all that I’m not, when I could be celebrating all that I am” — and that resonated with Moore.

“That for me is exactly it,” she said. “While we’re so focused on what we’re not, we miss out on the beauty of all that we are.”

“The thing is, I do have love for my body, but it’s more about appreciation — I can really appreciate all that my body does for me now, not just how it looks,” the “Substance” star continued. “And the more I appreciate the lines in the corner of my eyes — the more I can find beauty in the life that I’ve lived — the more my life has beauty.”
