Denise Richards shows off Halloween costume following $200,000 facelift compared to 'head transplant'

Denise Richards has rolled back the years with her Halloween costume as people said she looked 'exactly how they remembered' from movies she was in decades ago.

Halloween has been and gone and plenty of celebrities take the chance to put some effort into dressing up, though Heidi Klum is surely the final boss of distinctive costumes as this year she went as her own severed hand.

Richards, 55, went for a more feline look as she had her hair done and donned a pair of cat ears, showing off the results to her followers on social media.

It's led to people telling her she looks like she's 'aging backwards' and 'looks 23 again', and though the folks doing her hair and makeup deserve some of the credit the $200,000 facelift she had last year also warrants a mention.

Others told her that she still looks the same as she did in the 1997 movie Starship Troopers, where she appeared alongside Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer and Neil Patrick Harris as part of a cast that has aged phenomenally well.

Richards explained that she'd had the facelift in June 2025, the month before ex-husband Aaron Phypers filed for divorce.

She told The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show she was 'so glad' she'd been open about the facelift and keeping people in the loop about the change in her appearance.

“I didn't know how people would react, but I think I want to know what everyone's doing. What's peptides, what's this, what's that,” she said.

The actor had previously told Allure that she'd always told herself she'd never get one because her image was 'how I make my money' and she was 'always scared of a facelift' because it was the part of the body that couldn't be covered if it went 'a little sideways'.

It took two years of deliberation before she decided to do it and went through with the surgery.

While movie fans will know her from the likes of The World Is Not Enough or Love Actually, these days she's appearing on TV in The Bold and the Beautiful, and last year announced that she'd joined OnlyFans to follow in her daughter's footsteps.

That latter decision is something her ex-husband picked at when filing for divorce, as he called for spousal support which would have meant her giving him some of her revenue from the website.

He'd cited 'irreconcilable differences' and as well as a monthly stipend he'd also asked for his power tools and a motorbike.
