Dubbed “Catwoman” by the press, Jocelyn Wildenstein is one of the most talked-about socialites of modern times — a woman whose name is tied to wealth, transformation, and unapologetic self-expression.

Born Jocelyne Périsset in Switzerland, she was once known for her delicate features, natural elegance, and timeless beauty. That world shifted when she met billionaire art dealer Alec Wildenstein on a safari in Africa. Their whirlwind romance led to a marriage that opened the doors to a life of luxury, high society, and international fame.

As Jocelyn stepped further into the spotlight, she began exploring cosmetic enhancements, gradually adopting the feline-inspired look that earned her her infamous nickname. The media’s fascination with her transformation often overshadowed her passions for art, fashion, and her personal achievements — but Jocelyn never wavered. She’s always insisted her choices were her own.

Today, her “then and now” tell two stories: one of a Swiss beauty entering the elite with effortless grace, and one of a woman who boldly reshaped her image to match her own vision of beauty. Love her or criticize her, Jocelyn’s life is a testament to living without compromise and defining beauty on your own terms.
