Four decades later, the "Save the Best for Last" singer still embodies beauty and elegance at the age of 61, but hasn't been immune to criticism regarding her appearance and suspected weight loss.

Last week, Williams shared a selfie on social media that appeared to show her with a slightly more rejuvenated look compared to previous snapshots. Some fans speculated that she may have either used weight-loss medications or undergone cosmetic procedures.

Comments on 'Lipstick Alley' suggested that Williams' slimmer cheekbones and tighter mouth could be indicative of a recent facelift. One commenter speculated, "I wonder if she did a deep plane facelift. They tend to have more natural-looking results. It looks great. I am definitely having this later in life." Another chimed in, "I think she did, and I ain't mad at her."

While it remains uncertain whether Williams has undergone plastic surgery or has used Ozempic — a popular weight-loss drug prescribed for diabetes but used by Hollywood to shed pounds — her fans continue to adore the former Miss America.

One social media user complimented her natural beauty, saying, "You are so beautiful Vanessa, natural with no makeup! I've always loved those eyes of yours. Yours have more blue. Mine have more gray."

The 'Soul Food' actress had previously stated her decision to forgo cosmetic surgery, opting instead to embrace the natural aging process.

At the Broadway opening of 'The Cottage' in July 23, she told 'Page Six' plastic surgery was no where in her future plans.

"No, no, no, no, not yet," the New York native said of "nips and tucks." She continued: "I don't want to do it. That would be the one thing that I would probably put off for the very last thing."

In December, Williams told the 'New York Post' that she knows "where to get good Botox" to help maintain her appearance, but shared that she does not "want to look like somebody else."
