Harrison Ford’s Wife, Calista Flockhart, Attends Gala with a Makeup-Free Look, Causing a Stir – Photos

Harrison Ford’s wife turned heads at a gala, not for a dazzling gown or bold accessories, but for skipping makeup, a striking departure from her usual glamorous appearances.

Calista Flockhart’s makeup-free look at a gala in New York City on Monday night, March 10, had fans divided. Some appreciated her natural beauty, while others had strong opinions about skipping glam for such an event.

The 60-year-old actress attended The New Group’s 30th Anniversary Gala at Cipriani Wall Street where she showed off her radiant skin. This was an event dedicated to supporting contemporary theater. The gala helps fund the organization’s mission, including tuition-free theater education programs for middle and high school students in New York City.

At the gala, Flockhart, Harrison Ford’s wife, exuded elegance in a stylish black suit paired with chunky boots. Her brunette locks cascaded in soft waves over her shoulders as she confidently stepped into the spotlight. Her pictures from the event were shared online, where fans quickly shared their opinions about her makeup-free look.

One unimpressed commenter simply stated, “That was a mistake.” Another person pleaded for a more polished appearance, “Put on some makeup!! PLEASE!!”

For some, full makeup was non-negotiable, with one saying, “Always full glam for me …especially at big events. The other looks like you just don’t care anymore and you’re done trying. Very lazy look. Dont like it on anyone [sic].”

Another individual chimed in on the discussion, “If you are young there is no make up that may look better, but getting older your skin may need some help [sic].” However, not everyone agreed. A fan gushed, “Still so lovely 😍”, while another added, “She’s beautiful😍.”

Regardless of the divided opinions, Calista Flockhart’s appearance at the gala made an impact, proving that even subtle style choices can get people talking. However, she attended the event without her husband, Ford.

Even so, the couple is no stranger to red carpet appearances. They first stepped into the spotlight together in 2002, got engaged in 2009, and tied the knot the following year. Their significant 22-year age gap was never a concern for Flockhart, who once mentioned that it had no impact on their relationship.

Before meeting Ford, Flockhart had already adopted her son, Liam. Their bond grew as Ford, a father of four, embraced his role in Liam’s life. The actor later made their connection official by adopting Liam after their wedding.

Ever since she became a mom, Flockhart took a step back from acting to focus on family. She expressed gratitude for the ability to prioritize motherhood. “It’s an amazing place to be, and I’m kind of surprised I’m there. I’m in a place in my life where I’m just really happy,” she noted.

Flockhart acknowledged that Ford, with his years of parenting experience, had grown into his role as a father, which deepened their family’s dynamic. “He’s such a good father to his kids now. I love his kids, my stepkids,” gushed Flockhart.

Through the years, their marriage has remained strong despite the natural challenges that come with any long-term relationship. Flockhart has disclosed that Ford remains the person she turns to first in times of joy or difficulty, reinforcing their lasting partnership.

The two are sometimes spotted enjoying each other’s company on special nights, keeping their love life ablaze. In 2023, the pair arrived at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica on June 11, joining friends for a meal. The group was spotted leaving the restaurant, saying goodbye with a few hugs.

While Ford and Flockhart greeted their companions, the actor placed his arm around his wife, drawing her in for a sweet embrace. In response, Flockhart put her head against her husband’s shoulder and snuggled into Ford’s hug.

Despite such public sightings, Ford and Flockhart prefer to keep their lives as private as possible. They rarely appear in public and keep information about their personal lives and family reasonably close to their chests. That said, the couple has been the subject of many online discussions since they were first linked.

The pair first ran into each other at an awards show in 2002 when Flockhart allegedly spilled wine on the actor. Many people have posited that Flockhart premeditated the incident, but she has denied these claims, also noting that Ford was the one to spill the wine.

After meeting each other at the awards ceremony, the two went on their first date. Although they seemed to hit it off, it was a slightly awkward affair, since the actress insisted on bringing her friend James Marsden along. Still, the night seemed to go well, and the party went back to Ford’s for drinks.

One date led to a few more, and soon, the two announced that they were seriously dating. This came with a new onset of whispers, though, since many were skeptical about the age gap between them. Ford, then 60, and Flockhart, 38 at the time, paid the naysayers no mind, preferring to focus their energy on building a healthy relationship.

Many doubted the pair would last long, suggesting the age gap and Ford’s dating past would work together to drive them apart. Despite the doubt from fans, Ford and Flockhart stuck together. In 2009, Ford got down on one knee, asking Flockhart to marry him, and naturally, she said yes.

A year later, they said their vows and settled down together. Still, people have wondered about their age difference. However, Ford and Flockhart have praised each other publicly over the years, with the actress hailing her husband for his patient, understanding, and humorous nature.

The actress also mentioned that she’s still attracted to Ford’s (80) “little boy” charm. Ford has admired his wife on many occasions, stating, “She’s more than a match for me. She’s a strong woman, and I’m very fortunate to be with her.”

These days, Ford and Flockhart are living a happy life, watching their children graduate one by one and attending various ceremonies together. The pair attended the 2023 Cannes Film Festival together, walking down the red carpet hand-in-hand, looking stylish.

The couple have confessed that they’re both still working and mentioned that they’d love to star in a movie or TV show together. Flockhart, who is getting back into acting after taking a break to raise her son, is excited by this idea.
