Some women are determined to stay youthful, employing every possible method from cosmetic procedures to photo editing. Branka Grubnik, a 62-year-old Croatian, is a prime example. Her true age is only confirmed by her passport.
When she is photographed with her 38-year-old son, stylist Marko Grubnik, many people mistake them for a couple or siblings rather than a mother and son.
Marko Grubnik is a prominent Croatian stylist, known for working with top celebrities. He designs looks for high-profile clients, attends major fashion events, and frequently appears in fashion magazines as a model.
With a substantial Instagram following of 70,000, his social life is under constant scrutiny.
At 38, Marko looks like a much younger man, thanks to diligent skincare routines, expert makeup, and cosmetic surgery. However, his youthful appearance is overshadowed by his mother Branka, who, despite being 62, looks nearly as young as her son. The difference in their ages is only faintly noticeable in person.
Although Branka is not a famous actress or singer but an ordinary economist, she maintains a youthful appearance that could rival Hollywood stars.
She has undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries, regularly receives Botox injections, and adheres strictly to celebrity-style diets. Her son’s successful career supports her extensive beauty regimen.
In a recent interview, Branka shared that she has always been meticulous about her appearance:
“My husband and son have never seen me looking disheveled. I always keep my nails done, my makeup fresh, and my hair perfectly styled. To them, I am always impeccably presented.
Even for casual outings or trips to the store, I wear heels and stylish clothes. It’s the high heels and elegant dresses that make me feel youthful again! After all, age is just a number on a piece of paper!”
Interestingly, Branka’s husband also appears to be in excellent shape, despite being older.
Family photos of this seemingly ageless trio often captivate viewers, though many exhibit clear signs of digital retouching. Consequently, Branka’s appearance can vary across different photos, making it challenging to accurately assess her age.
Some people believe that Branka becomes younger each year, thanks to the expertise of cosmetic surgeons and photo editors. Nevertheless, those who have seen her in person assert that, despite the use of photo editing, she truly looks significantly younger than her years.
While Branka and Marko’s photos receive admiration from fans, some Instagram users criticize the evident alteration, noting that they resemble models or dolls more than real people.
