It might have been the face full of makeup that forced one fan to declare “Photoshop” in the comments of an Instagram post that shared both images. Another user said that they were “sick of her super doctored photos, but if they were real, she’d still be a smoke show.” The comment got four likes.
Most of the comments, however, were full of fire emojis as speechless fans expressed their love for her fit figure. “Is that the Fountain of Youth?” one fan asked. “She has always had the best body!” another follower wrote. “Good grief! And she’s 58. She’s ageless!” a third fan exclaimed. “Absolutely beautiful,” another follower wrote.
