Rebel Wilson has come a long way from her early days in the entertainment industry, beginning with her role as Toula in the comedy series “Pizza” and progressing to more features in several major successful films.
The Australian movie star, who also underwent a significant weight loss journey, recently returned with a lovely childhood image which she compared to her present self, indicating an evident glow up.
Rebel Wilson Compares Younger Self To Older Self On Her Instagram Story
Wilson is over forty and looking every bit younger, and she never tires of showing off her appealing look on the gram, which she recently did on her Instagram Story alongside a throwback image.
In the older snap, she was photographed with her classmates in elementary school, grinning at the camera and wearing a blue-striped pinafore over a long-sleeved white blouse. The girls in the picture wore the same uniform, while the boys wore blue shirts, darker blue ties, and matching cardigans.
The “Bachelorette” actress circled her face on the photograph, and as indicated at the bottom, it was taken at Castle Hill Public School in 1985. In the next picture, a more recent one, captioned “From that to this….,” Wilson was photographed on a mountain, rocking black leggings and an off-white sleeveless hoodie over a long-sleeved white shirt.
She accessorized with a coffee-brown baseball cap and sunglasses, though her face was not fully visible as she posed, backing the camera with one hand above her backside. While fans are undoubtedly fascinated with the laudable glow-up, they would recall a message Wilson shared about sustainability that caused them to voice their mixed opinions following the 2023 Oscars.
Per The Blast, the movie icon attended the recent Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in a gold dress she once wore to the 2020 Academy Awards. The Jason Wu ensemble was an off-shoulder piece that accentuated her leaner shape and was paired with golden bracelets and a Kurt Geiger rainbow clutch purse.
Despite shedding 80 pounds, unlike when she first wore the dress in 2020, it still fitted her to a T. Losing such weight remains a proud achievement of Wilson’s, as was obvious in an uploaded Boomerang video featuring her soulmate, Ramona Agruma.
In the clip, the lovers held hands while moving a leg forward, and it was captioned, “Oscars 2023. Sustainably re-wearing my @jasonwu dress from the Oscars a few years ago.” Fans and critics alike took to the comment section with different opinions about the “Bogan Pride” actress’s conception of sustainability.
A user commended her for re-wearing the dress but pointed out she was “misrepresenting or not understanding what the word sustainable means.” The same person clarified that “wearing a gorgeous but absolutely ridiculously priced dress” was in no way sustainable.
Another critic stated, “Thank goodness you’re wearing a dress TWICE! That’ll make up for the private jets, then.” In contrast, a supporter wishes more celebs would emulate Wilson especially given that no one was bothered “if you re-wear something that’s totally stunning.”
A second admirer believed the 43-year-old celeb looked as “gorgeous” as she did the first time, and another expressed, “Beautiful, wish more people would re-wear outfits, gowns, etc.! Makes perfect sense.” One other fan had a more interesting idea as they felt it would be better for stars to “swap with each other old gowns/borrow them” rather than re-rocking their clothes.
The ‘Struck by Lightning’ Actress Felt Overwhelmed After Proposing To Her Girlfriend
Wilson is a woman in love and is not afraid to publicly show her feelings to her partner, Agruma, to whom she recently proposed. She also once revealed what went down during the proposal in an interview with Drew Barrymore for a new episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
The “Pitch Perfect” actress recounted the magical moment: “It was just beautiful, and she said yes, and then I was like, ‘OK, great!'” She added, “And then I was so overwhelmed that afterward, we went on a ride, this new ride they had, and I kind of collapsed afterward.”
Wilson who had never been engaged or proposed to before felt like the moment was very significant in her life. She also mentioned, “I literally collapsed on the floor for five minutes. And then I go, ‘OK, I’m good. Let’s get churros and move on.'”
