Jocelyn Wildenstein looked young while enjoying a romantic dinner with her fiancé Lloyd Klein in Paris on Wednesday.
The Swiss socialite, 82, put on a glamorous display in a low-cut mesh top for her night out.
She added a pair of tight leather-look leggings, increased her height with open-toe heels, and layered a fur-trimmed jacket over it.
Jocelyn, who claimed she was bankrupt last year after her divorce payments ended, appeared to be living the good life once again in the French capital.
The couple looked as in love as ever as they walked to the restaurant and shared a kiss on the cheek.
Jocelyn Wildenstein looked youthful while enjoying a romantic dinner with her fiancé Lloyd Klein in Paris on Wednesday.
The Swiss socialite, 82, put on a glamorous display in a low-cut mesh top for her night out.
Over the summer, the couple enjoyed a luxurious summer vacation in Miami Beach, where they soaked up the sun on VIP loungers at the luxurious five-star 1 Hotel South Beach.
Jocelyn, who is based in New York but has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, was recognizable by her famous sphinx-like appearance and voluminous blonde hair.
She wore a deep-cut black one-piece swimsuit, accessorized with oversized sunglasses.
The luxury getaway appears to be a far cry from the cash-strapped situation it previously claimed it faced after being forced to file for bankruptcy six years ago.
Last summer she gave a rare interview in which she claimed she was broke and had no income for eight years after her ex-husband’s family cut off the nine-figure annual payout she got in their famous 1999 divorce.
The reclusive socialite earned $2.5 billion in the deal, with $100 million allocated for each subsequent year in the split, after she claimed her husband, billionaire businessman Alec N. Wildenstein, had been unfaithful.
In a June 2023 interview with Sunday weatherShe claimed that Alec, who died in 2008, had tried to blame her for their failed marriage by saying that he no longer recognized his wife due to her extensive plastic surgeries that earned her her famous nickname.
She added a pair of tight leather-look leggings, increased her height with open-toe heels, and layered a fur-trimmed jacket over it.
Jocelyn styled her blonde hair in curls.
Jocelyn, who claimed she was bankrupt last year after her divorce payments ended, appeared to be living the good life once again in the French capital.
The couple looked as in love as ever as they walked to the restaurant and shared a kiss on the cheek.
“I have a big problem with my agreement,” she told the newspaper as she and her fiancé filmed a new HBO documentary series about his life.
“For eight years, I have been completely isolated.”
Jocelyn first met Alec in 1977 at her family’s Ol Jogi ranch, north of Nairobi, when she was on safari with friends.
The two had two children, Diane and Alec Jr., and lived comfortably in their Manhattan penthouse with a separate family compound in the British Virgin Islands and the family property in Africa.
But after 20 years of marriage, Jocelyn says, she left him, citing her husband’s extramarital affairs.
“It was becoming too obvious,” he told The Sunday Times. ‘They were young girls who went to the same restaurants we went to. It wasn’t any discretion, nothing.
During the divorce proceedings, Jocelyn claims, Alec began planting stories about her plastic surgeries to “win the divorce,” and even “hired a publicist and paid a plastic surgeon to certify that he had completely changed my face.”
‘He couldn’t say I betrayed him; “I never betrayed him,” Jocelyn said, claiming her ex-husband once insisted she “turned into a monster… I don’t recognize her.”
“He put all the blame in my face,” Jocelyn said.
However, rumors abounded that Alec, a known cat lover, encouraged his wife to undergo surgeries to make her appear more feminine.
Over the summer, the couple enjoyed a luxurious summer vacation in Miami Beach, where they soaked up the sun on the VIP loungers at the luxurious five-star 1 Hotel South Beach.
She has made headlines over the years due to her high-profile divorce, her feline appearance and, once, attacking her boyfriend in 2016 (pictured).
Jocelyn rose to international fame amid her divorce from Alec, a renowned art dealer, right, in the 1990s. She claims his infidelity led her to file for divorce.
Jocelyn won a $2.5 million divorce settlement with a payout of $100 million each year thereafter. But the payments stopped in 2015 when his family cut him off from his contract, he says.
Jocelyn met Alec Wildenstein during a safari in Africa. She is pictured here at the age of 15, before undergoing extensive plastic surgery.
He denied those claims in an interview with Vanity Fair at the time.
“She was crazy,” Alec insisted. ‘I would always find out in the end. “I was thinking that I could fix my face like it was a piece of furniture,” he said. ‘Skin doesn’t work that way. But she didn’t want to listen.
Still, Jocelyn won the case and took home a $2.5 million settlement with $100 million guaranteed each year thereafter “to continue the lifestyle and work of her 20s.”
She was also allowed to keep her ex-husband’s last name.
But his good luck apparently ended in 2015, when Alec’s family decided to cut off his settlement payments. Three years later, he declared bankruptcy.
