At 52 years old, Tori Spelling is feeling better than ever.
The actress hit the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026 red carpet on Thursday night in a bright red Walter Mendes Atelier dress that featured a sheer corset and a thigh-high slit.
“I don’t know if I would have been ready to wear this dress a year ago. A lot has changed in my life over the last three years,” Spelling told Page Six Style exclusively, adding that she wore sneakers and jeans a lot.
“Right now, these days…I feel like I’m in a power era. Glamour used to be my thing. I can still be glamorous at 50,” she declared, before playfully whispering her real age into the microphone.
“It’s not very comfortable, but it makes me feel confident when I wear it. I feel like Cinderella.”
While Spelling feels comfortable in her own skin, she hit back at the haters, recalling the criticism she has received since entering the public eye as a teenager.
“When I was 17, a tabloid article came out saying I had plastic surgery,” she recalled, admitting that she had had a nose job when she was 16, but that there was more speculation than that.
“I was a 17-year-old girl in my first year at Beverly Hills, 90210, my last year in high school in real life, and it was heartbreaking,” she said, recalling that when she called her father, Aaron Spelling, “crying,” her father told her that “the world would move on in a week.” But she says the criticism about her appearance “continues.”
“I’ve carried this throughout my career, to the point where I don’t do[makeup work]as much as other people because I’m so scared of what people will say – and people still say that to me!” said Spelling, host of misSpelling, a podcast where she talks candidly about her personal life.
“Every week I’m like, ‘Let’s not have fillers.’ I’m like, ‘What are fillers?’ If you think I’m done, do you mean I look good? ”
Although she set the record straight about whether she has fillers, Spelling admitted that trolls still approach her.
“I say I have thick skin, not filler skin, but we’re all human, and it hurts,” she confessed. “Just because you’re in the spotlight doesn’t mean you don’t have emotions.”
