“Lots of Fillers” Alyssa Milano Goes Makeup-Free at 53, but Small Details Leaves Fans Split

Alyssa Milano is stepping into her 53rd year with confidence, vulnerability, and a powerful message about self-acceptance. In a makeup-free birthday selfie, the actress once again reminds fans that real beauty begins with honesty.

Alyssa Milano welcomed her 53rd birthday with honesty, warmth, and zero filters — and fans can’t get enough of it.

The actress shared her “annual birthday selfie” on Instagram, marking another year of life with confidence and calm. The photo looks like it was taken just moments after waking up: Alyssa is cozy in a floral cotton pajama top, her hair softly tousled, her face relaxed and real — no glam, no posing, just her.

This year, she didn’t switch off comments on Instagram, so fans left many compliments there. One follower said, “You embody everything it means to be beautiful, inside and out.” Another one added, “You’re just as gorgeous as ever, and you wear 53 very very well!!!”

But there were also some comments with critics. One person wrote, “Maybe makeup free but definitely not Botox and filler free!” Second one noted, “Make up free and 50 surgeries.” And third reader said, “She looks like she has had lots of fillers.”

Her birthday post comes during a deeply personal chapter in her life. As part of her ongoing journey toward self-love and healing, Milano recently revealed that she had her breast implants removed.

By making this choice, Milano hopes to protect her daughter, 11-year-old Elizabella “Bella” Bugliari, from growing up with the same pressures and painful expectations.

This kind of openness has become a birthday ritual for Milano. She’s been posting makeup-free selfies every year since 2020, choosing truth over perfection. When she turned 48, she shared: “This is 48. No filter. No make up. Just my skin that I’ve become super comfortable in.”

In 2024, when she turned 52, she shared a makeup-free selfie with her fans on her social media account, too.

She shared one in 2023 as well, when she turned 51, looking rather fresh-faced in her pajamas, writing, “Today is my birthday! #nomakeupselfie #nofilter #iwokeuplikethis” She even shared how she was not going to say that she was turning 51, but rather she had reached “Level 51!”

Even for her big 5-0, Milano shared a candid snap with a caption similar to this year’s, writing, “This is 50. No filter. No touching up. No makeup. I will spend this day, the same as every day. I will move a little, love a lot, be of service, and count my blessings.”

American actress and activist Alyssa Milano first burst into Hollywood when she played teenager Samantha Micelli in Who’s the Boss? Her roles as Jennifer Mancini in Melrose Place and Phoebe Halliwell in Charmed came soon after and established her as one of the rising stars on the silver screen.

By embracing her natural self and sharing her journey openly, Milano continues to inspire others to choose self-love over unrealistic standards. At 53, she proves that authenticity, courage, and kindness never go out of style.
