Harrison Ford’s wife turned heads at a gala, not for a dazzling gown or bold accessories, but for skipping makeup, a striking departure from her usual glamorous appearances.
Calista Flockhart’s makeup-free look at a gala in New York City on Monday night, March 10, had fans divided. Some appreciated her natural beauty, while others had strong opinions about skipping glam for such an event.
The 60-year-old actress attended The New Group’s 30th Anniversary Gala at Cipriani Wall Street where she showed off her radiant skin. This was an event dedicated to supporting contemporary theater. The gala helps fund the organization’s mission, including tuition-free theater education programs for middle and high school students in New York City.
At the gala, Flockhart, Harrison Ford’s wife, exuded elegance in a stylish black suit paired with chunky boots. Her brunette locks cascaded in soft waves over her shoulders as she confidently stepped into the spotlight. Her pictures from the event were shared online, where fans quickly shared their opinions about her makeup-free look.
One unimpressed commenter simply stated, “That was a mistake.” Another person pleaded for a more polished appearance, “Put on some makeup!! PLEASE!!”
For some, full makeup was non-negotiable, with one saying, “Always full glam for me …especially at big events. The other looks like you just don’t care anymore and you’re done trying. Very lazy look. Dont like it on anyone [sic].”
Another individual chimed in on the discussion, “If you are young there is no make up that may look better, but getting older your skin may need some help [sic].” However, not everyone agreed. A fan gushed, “Still so lovely 😍”, while another added, “She’s beautiful😍.”
Regardless of the divided opinions, Flockhart’s appearance at the gala made an impact, proving that even subtle style choices can get people talking. However, she attended the event without her husband, Ford.
Even so, the couple is no stranger to red carpet appearances. They first stepped into the spotlight together in 2002, got engaged in 2009, and tied the knot the following year. Their significant 22-year age gap was never a concern for Flockhart, who once mentioned that it had no impact on their relationship.
Before meeting Ford, Flockhart had already adopted her son, Liam. Their bond grew as Ford, a father of four, embraced his role in Liam’s life. The actor later made their connection official by adopting Liam after their wedding.
Ever since she became a mom, Flockhart took a step back from acting to focus on family. She expressed gratitude for the ability to prioritize motherhood. “It’s an amazing place to be, and I’m kind of surprised I’m there. I’m in a place in my life where I’m just really happy,” she noted.
Flockhart acknowledged that Ford, with his years of parenting experience, had grown into his role as a father, which deepened their family’s dynamic. “He’s such a good father to his kids now. I love his kids, my stepkids,” gushed Flockhart.
Through the years, their marriage has remained strong despite the natural challenges that come with any long-term relationship. Flockhart has disclosed that Ford remains the person she turns to first in times of joy or difficulty, reinforcing their lasting partnership.
