Beauty is pain does not apply here.
Diane von Furstenberg, 78, showed off alarming photos of her bruised face after suffering a scary fall in Los Angeles.
The fashion designer — known for her iconic wrap dress — posted two makeup-free selfies via her Instagram on Tuesday, February 25, with one showcasing a close-up of her injury.
Snapping the pics in bed while recovering, von Furstenberg shared she got a gnarly shiner above and below her left eye. She also detailed the terrifying moment she lost her footing and hit her head.
“Upon arrival in LA, I fell on the pavement and hit my forehead !” she wrote as the caption.
Acknowledging her black eye is bad, von Furstenberg assured her fans that the damage could have been worse.
“Does not look good for sure but grateful nothing more serious !!!” she shared, while adding her plan of attack during recovery.
“I am owning it, applying lots of arnica gel and happy it was not worse !!” von Furstenberg concluded. “Owning it is the secret of survival !”
She did not disclose any other information about her fall.
The Post reached out to von Furstenberg’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Her celebrity clientele immediately flocked to her comment section, sending her well wishes for a speedy recovery.
“You poor thing! I had a dog once jump up as I was going down to pet it- broke my orbital bone and gave me the worst black eye! But all you can do is own it! ❤️❤️🩹,” Jewel wrote.
“Oh Diane!!!! I’m so glad not worse. Love you!!!!” Tracee Ellis Ross commented.
“Feel better Diane! So sorry ❤️,” said former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.
The clothing designer has always embraced getting older, sharing in May 2023 that she’s lived a full life.
“I feel that I have lived every single day of my life,” von Furstenberg said on Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ “Wiser Than Me” podcast at the time. “In that life, in that short life, even though I am 76, I have piled up so much that I certainly could not feel any younger. I am who I am. That’s why I say, instead of asking, ‘How old are you?’ you should ask, ‘How long have you lived?’And then, all of a sudden, you answer with pride.”
The style icon made headlines last year when she shared intimate details about her past in the 2024 documentary “Diane von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge,” including that she turned down a threesome with Mick Jagger and David Bowie back in the day.
