Remember '90s Star Rachel Weisz? She's So Stunning Today

Rachel Weisz's breakout role was the 1999 hit "The Mummy," starring alongside Brendan Fraser. Since then, Weisz has been a mainstay of Hollywood, dazzling in hits like the 2002 film "About a Boy," playing Dr. Marta Shearing in "The Bourne Legacy," and M in the 2026 TV series "Vladimir." Considering the fact that Weisz has been in the spotlight for nearly three decades, the star continues to stun without leaving behind her '90s charm.

For Weisz, aging seems like something that happens to other people. In side-by-side photos of the star from the early 2000s and 2024, the British beauty looks strikingly similar. She's chosen to stick with her rich brunette hair tone and seems consistent in her choice of minimal makeup. She obviously prefers a natural lipstick or gloss with a neutral plum tone, and she wears light eye makeup. Her lips have retained their full volume, but her eyebrows have become bolder with the decades. It's quite likely that Weisz fell prey to the '90s beauty trend of plucked brows. Thankfully, embracing one's natural brows with a no-nonsense routine is back in vogue, and Weisz benefits from the increased volume. But apart from thicker brows, Weisz looks much the same as she did when she broke out in Hollywood. Considering there are many actors from the '90s who are totally unrecognizable now, Weisz has been blessed with consistent good looks over the decades. 

Even though Rachel Weisz looks much the same as she did when she became a '90s star, the "Disobedience" actor has opened up about a healthy attitude towards change and aging. In fact, she spoke openly in 2011 about her dislike of plastic surgery, telling The Telegraph that looking too perfect diminished a person's beauty. Part of this attitude, for Weisz, came from appreciating the wisdom and change that comes with getting older. "Well, everybody's aging, and we're all going to die," she told More in 2015. "Getting older, there's a reality about mortality, but it's hard to be young, too. It's hard to not know who you are. My 20s were painful at times. Now, I have wisdom and experience — I know what interests me in a way I didn't before." For Weisz, acquiring wisdom and experience is much more valuable than looking young. 

Weisz also shared a hack she uses when she gets caught up on aging. "Anyone can obsess over their physicality at any age and be unhappy," Weisz said. "The trick is not to think about it. Invest all that energy in something else, and you won't care so much." The secret, it seems, is letting go. So Weisz can count herself among the many celebrities who are confronting aging with confidence, and that's so refreshing.
