The “Sunday at Tiffany’s” alum embraced her special day with an unfiltered moment, igniting conversations across social media with her bold and natural approach.

In the photo, Milano rests her head against a pillow, showcasing her glowing complexion and unfiltered appearance. Alongside the picture, she shared an empowering message with her fans:

“This is 52. No make up. No filters. Happiness. Sprinkle that [redacted] everywhere. I love you all. Even the trolls. If you can hate a stranger—I can love a stranger. So…I love you.”

While many appreciated the “Charmed” star’s candid post, others took the opportunity to share their thoughts on her appearance, sparking a variety of reactions across social media platforms.

On Facebook, users shared a range of opinions about Milano’s look. One user wrote, “No filters but definitely fillers.” Another commented, “Wow, she’s had so much work done, she doesn’t even look like herself anymore.”

Instagram users also chimed in, offering a mix of praise and skepticism. One user shared, “Facelift, fillers, Botox, everything is there, of course with procedures and at 70 you can look good and I support cosmetology [sic].”

Another wrote, “No makeup no filters, but def not ‘no Botox or fillers [sic].'” A fan remarked, “Obviously you are naturally beautiful!!! But also whatever you are doing to stay so young looking is like the perfect amount and perfect way to do it! You are staying young looking without starting to look fake [sic]!!!!”

Another user commented, “You are beautiful, without filters or cosmetics, you are real. Years adorn a woman.” “You are full of Botox and fillers anyone would look good [sic],” stated another.

Milano’s bold brows also became a hot topic. On Instagram, one user commented, “There’s makeup on your eyebrows,” to which Milano replied, “tattooed.”

Similar discussions arose on Facebook. One user questioned, “Except Eyebrows painted or are they tattooed [sic]?” Another penned, “Fake eyebrows.” Addressing the speculation, Milano later updated her Instagram post to clarify, “Edit: yes, my eyebrows are micro-bladed.”

Milano’s birthday celebration didn’t stop at her Instagram selfie. The “Who’s the Boss” actress later shared highlights from a special evening planned by her husband, David Bugliari, marking the milestone with warmth, love, and music.

In her December 20 post, Milano thanked her fans for their messages and reflected on her evening. “#aboutlastnight Firstly, thank you for all of the kind birthday wishes. I appreciate you all so much. Secondly, David took me to Sushi Park and to a @candlelight.concerts featuring the @orchidquartet. It was a very special birthday,” she wrote.

In the photos accompanying her post, Milano was seen sharing intimate moments with Bugliari. One picture featured the couple at Sushi Park, enjoying their meal at the counter. Another snapshot captured them posing amidst a stunning display of glowing candles at the concert venue, exuding love and happiness.

In one close-up shot, Milano and Bugliari leaned into each other, sharing a tender moment, while another image showed them seated together during the live performance by the Orchid Quartet.

Married since August 2009, Milano and Bugliari share a heartwarming connection. In a recent interview with Sherri, the “Tempting Fate” alum spoke about how her husband continues to make her feel special after 15 years of marriage.

When asked how she keeps the spark alive, Milano replied, “I don’t know. He just still gives me the butterflies in my tummy when I see him. He makes me laugh, and I feel like that’s a lot of it.”

The “Pathology” actress also added, “Because if you could laugh through things, you could get through anything, I believe.” The couple shares two children, Milo and Bella, and their family remains a cornerstone of Milano’s life.

2024 was a milestone year for Milano, as she achieved a lifelong dream by making her Broadway debut. The “Hugo Pool” actress recently took to the stage as Roxie Hart in the iconic musical “Chicago” in New York City. Her first curtain call as Roxie was documented and shared on her official website, showcasing her excitement and dedication to the role.

In a CBS News interview on September 18, 2024, Milano reflected on her Broadway experience, calling the production “a masterpiece,” while admitting it came with its challenges. “It’s weird because I have really bad anxiety. I feel nervous and I’m excited, but it’s not like that anxiety that’s like debilitating. And I think it’s because it feels like home,” she shared.

When asked what similarities she shared with Roxie, Milano said, “I think there’s a fearlessness in Roxie. She has aspirations.” Her final performance as Roxie took place on November 10. ​​

Before she stepped off the stage, “Chicago The Musical” celebrated her journey with a post on their official Instagram account. “Heading into the final days with this fierce and fabulous duo. Catch @milano_alyssa as Roxie Hart only until Nov. 10!” read the caption accompanying a photo of Milano onstage with her co-star Kimberly Marable.

Alyssa Milano’s 52nd birthday not only celebrated her natural beauty but also highlighted her personal and professional achievements. From her makeup-free selfie that sparked widespread reactions to her memorable Broadway debut as Roxie Hart, Milano continues to captivate fans with her authenticity, talent, and resilience.
