Although Eden radiated at the event in her vibrant outfit, changes in her appearance became noticeable. Netizens had mixed reactions to Eden’s appearance, with some praising her enduring beauty and others noting changes in her looks.

A critic observed that Eden may have undergone facial enhancements, stating, “I know women lose fullness in their faces when they get older. When they have filler to make their cheeks look fuller, why do the doctors always put in too much making them look like they have nuts stored for the winter.”

Another expressed, “To grow gracefully in life I think not! Too much ‘plastics’ have been done.Sad!” Someone else simply stated, “Awful.” Another pointed out, saying “she does look great but the cheeks? why are they so pronounced, i noticed that on someone else. wish i looked that good now.”

One user remarked, “Too much plastic surgery imo,” while another questioned, “Why are old women so desperate to look young? They rarely succeed.” Amid the negative remarks, some praised the actress’s beauty.

A user said of Eden, “Still beautiful and peppy too…Good for her! I always liked her, she is one of the celebrities who never seemed annoying or full of herself.” Another fan commented, “So has always been so gorgeous and feminine, love those costumes and hair.”

One user observed, “A little too much done to her face, but the really impressive and youthful look is from her beautiful, straight posture.” A fan also remarked, “Jesus I can’t believe she’s still with us, she looks amazing I absolutely loved that show.”

Although traces of aging were visible at the events she attended, a social media photo showed her with a remarkably smooth, line-free face.

Netizens continue to scrutinize Eden’s recent looks as she enters her early 90s.

The photo sparked curiosity among fans, with one commenting, “Why do we pretend these botoxed filled actors are naturally looking great at age 92?” Despite this criticism, other users still praised her for looking good at 92.

“Looks great. And wearing heels! Good for her. Work done definetely but 5hey managed to keep most of her beautiful eye shape,” a fan noted.

Another said, “I remember watching ‘I Dream of Genie’ as a kid. She is still amazing! I envy her ability to get around so well at 92..no small feat.I have already had two knee replacements and I am decades younger. Good for her!”

A month before her outing with friends, Eden traveled to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, for a new project with Marcel Remus. She wore a flower-printed suit, while Remus donned a navy blue suit. Eden’s youthful glow remained intact.

Enjoying her 90s, Eden shows no signs of retiring. “Sometimes one is forced to slow down, but I’ll do what I do until I can’t,” she said.

She revealed her secrets to staying young and healthy, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet and consistent fitness routine despite her love for desserts. She added that doing “everything in moderation” is key to her approach.

Despite her success in Hollywood, Eden faced numerous hardships, including the loss of her unborn child, and her son Matthew’s death at age 35 in 2001 due to a drug overdose.

Despite these challenges, Eden considers herself fortunate. She reflected, “I’m so lucky. I have this sweet child. I have a husband who loves me. What’s wrong with me?’ And nobody told me what was wrong with me. At that time going to a psychiatrist, people didn’t do it. You just healed yourself.”

She also encourages others to seek help when needed. “Now you go get help when you feel that bad. When you can’t move or don’t want to do anything, go and get help,” she added.
