Jocelyn Wildenstein looked youthful as she shared a kiss with her fiancé Lloyd Klein in Paris on Wednesday.
The Swiss socialite, 82, put on a glamorous display in a plunging mesh top for their evening out.
She added a pair of skin-tight leather-look leggings, boosted her height with peep toe heels and layered over a fur trimmed jacket.
Jocelyn, who claimed she was broke last year after her divorce payments ended, seemed to be living the high life once more in the French capital.
The couple looked as loved-up as ever as they strolled to a restaurant and enjoyed a romantic dinner date.
Jocelyn Wildenstein looked youthful as she shared a kiss with her fiancé Lloyd Klein in Paris on Wednesday
The Swiss socialite, 82, put on a glamorous display in a plunging mesh top for their evening out.
Over the summer, the couple enjoyed a lavish summer vacation on Miami Beach, where they sunbathed on the VIP lounge chairs of the luxury five-star 1 Hotel South Beach.
Jocelyn, who is based in New York, but has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, was recognisable by her famous sphynx-like appearance and voluminous blonde mane.
She wore a black, deep-cut one-piece bathing suit, accessorised with oversized sunglasses.
The luxury getaway seems like a far cry from the cash-strapped situation she previously claimed she was facing after being forced to file for bankruptcy six years ago.
Last summer she gave a rare interview in which she claimed she was broke and had not had any income for eight years after her ex-husband’s family cut her off from the nine-figure annual payment she famously secured in her 1999 divorce.
The reclusive socialite won a $2.5billion in the settlement, with $100million allocated for each year thereafter in the split, after she claimed billionaire businessman husband Alec N. Wildenstein had been unfaithful.
In a June 2023 interview with The Sunday Times, she claimed Alec, who died in 2008, had tried to blame their failed marriage on her by saying he no longer recognised his wife due to her extensive plastic surgeries which earned her her famous nickname.

‘I have a huge problem with my settlement,’ she told the paper as she and her fiancé filmed a new HBO docuseries about her life.
‘Since eight years, they have completely cut me off.’
Jocelyn first met Alec in 1977 at his family’s Ol Jogi ranch, north of Nairobi, when she was on a safari with friends.
The two went on to have two children, Diane and Alec Jr., and lived comfortably in their Manhattan penthouse with a separate family compound in the British Virgin Islands and the family’s estate in Africa.
But after 20 years of marriage, Jocelyn says, she called it quits, citing her husband’s extramarital affairs.
‘It was getting too obvious,’ she told The Sunday Times. ‘It was young girls and going to the same restaurants we went to. It was no discretion, nothing.’
During the divorce proceedings, Jocelyn claims, Alec started planting stories about her plastic surgeries to ‘win the divorce’, and even ‘hired a publicist and paid a plastic surgeon to certify that I completely changed my face.’
‘He couldn’t say I betrayed him; I never betrayed him,’ Jocelyn said, claiming her ex-husband once insisted that ‘She became a monster… I don’t recognise her.’
‘He put all the blame on my face,’ Jocelyn said.
Rumors abounded, however, that Alec, a known cat lover, encouraged his wife to get the surgeries to make her appear more feminine.

Jocelyn won a $2.5billion settlement from the divorce with a $100million payment each year thereafter. But the payments stopped in 2015 when his family cut her off, she says

He denied those claims in an interview with Vanity Fair at the time.
‘She was crazy,’ Alec insisted. ‘I would always find out last. She was thinking that she could fix her face like a piece of furniture,’ he claimed. ‘Skin does not work that way. But she wouldn’t listen.’
Still, Jocelyn won the proceedings — taking home a settlement of $2.5billion with $100million guaranteed each year thereafter ‘to follow the lifestyle and the work of the 20 years’.
She was also allowed to keep her ex-husband’s last name.
But her good fortune apparently ended in 2015 — when Alec’s family decided to cut off her settlement payments. Three years later, she filed for bankruptcy.
