As Pat Sajak’s longtime co-host on Wheel of Fortune, White has always been known for her classic fashion sense and timeless beauty. As she revealed in a new interview, she is embracing the aging process while not ruling out the possibility of plastic surgery.
“I don’t look like this without all the makeup,” White admitted to People. “But you know what? I am older and I accept my lines and wrinkles. Will I ever have plastic surgery? Maybe. But I’m kind of scared of it. I’m not trying to look 30 again, because I’m not.
White, 66, was speaking to the outlet to promote a new collaboration with beauty brand Laura Geller. Fans can currently buy items such as an eyeshadow palette, a classic red lipstick and a face primer with packaging inspired by the game show.
Geller, head of the make-up brand known for its mature skin products, told People: “Me and my team are huge fans of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and everyone loves Vanna. I mean, my God, everyone is just obsessed with her. I still watch Wheel of Fortune to this day. We knew it was the perfect match for us and for Vanna. She really just represents natural beauty. She represents us and perfectly embodies our mission – that women don’t disappear after 40. They just don’t”.
In addition to discussing makeup, White also touched on skincare, explaining, “When you’re young, it’s like, ‘Oh, I’ve got my whole life ahead of me,’ and you don’t think about it. As I get older, I want to take care of my skin. I want to look as good as I can.
While she always wears “heavy make-up” on Wheel of Fortune, she said she likes to go much lighter in her personal life.
She said: “When I’m not working, it’s kind of nice not to have to wear full make-up. I just feel more natural when I’m not working and I’m not wearing heavy make-up. I’m not complaining about it. I like being glam. Heavy make-up is good, but so is light make-up.
“I think everyone has their own deal,” she added, “you do what you do with ageing. I’m just thinking about taking better care of myself.”White is currently hosting the 41st season of Wheel of Fortune. She joined the show in 1982, a year after Sajak began hosting.
This season is Sajak’s last, as he will retire at the end of filming. Next autumn, White will join Ryan Seacrest as he takes over as host. She is currently under contract with the show through the 2025-26 season.
