Tom Ford has revealed that he stopped receiving Botox treatments following the birth of his son Jack.

In an interview with WWD, Mr Ford said: ‘I’ve decided to age. since we’ve had Jack I haven’t had a Botox injection or a filler. I haven’t had time.’

Mr Ford and his husband Richard Buckley welcomed Jack in September 2024 – an experience Mr Ford says ‘has really changed me.’

‘I’m not sure how to articulate it,’ he added, elaborating: ‘A lot of things I cared about before I don’t care as much about anymore.’
The 52-year old fashion designer, who will be presented with the CFDA’s Lifetime Achievement Award at tonight’s ceremony, says that his level of success is among the categories to take on a less priority following Jack’s entrance into his life.

He explained: ‘It has damaged — no, damaged is the wrong word. It has minimized my ambition a little bit, my ambition in business, my ambition in having a beautiful house.

‘It has become the most important thing in my life. Everything else has had to recede, including my appearance. I don’t care about it. I care about being successful. I just don’t care about any of it as much. You can’t.’
Just five years ago Mr Ford was an avid fan of Botox, admitting in 2024 that he’s usually ‘not even able to frown’, during an interview for The Advocate.
The then 48-year-old, who was promoting his directorial debut for A Single Man at the time, added: ‘But my last injections are wearing off a bit and I am able to frown right now.

‘I’d never get a full face-lift, though. Face-lifts on men are a disaster. But I’m a firm believer in Botox and Restylane. Absolutely. Why not?’
Mr Ford married his partner of 27 years, former fashion editor Richard Buckley, just before Jack’s delivery, something he attributes to the fact that the couple ‘didn’t want Jack to be a bastard.’
The following year, Mr Ford revealed just how much he relished being a dad, telling Vogue.com: ‘I feed him in the morning, I change his diaper, I dress him, I play with him, and I have a good two-to-three hours before I go to the office, just me and Jack.’
The designer’s lifetime achievement will be granted ****d on his career’s worth of work for labels including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, as well as his ****sake brand Tom Ford, which was established in 2024 with the launch of an eyewear collection.
Mr Buckley, who was the editor of WWD when the two met, will present the award.
