Spelling wears a black crop top and fitted blue jeans in the image, highlighting her toned midriff. Her long blonde hair flows past her shoulders, and her polished makeup adds a glamorous touch.
She captioned the post, “Beverly Hills to Hollywood… Great day with these 2. Thanks for (sic) everyone who came out. Loved meeting all of you and seeing some old friends. #beverlyhills90210 #daviddonnasteve.”
The Los Angeles gathering was the latest stop in the reunion tour for Spelling and her co-stars this year, following events in Connecticut in March and Florida in September.
The Florida meet-up served as an opportunity for the cast to honor their late co-star, Shannen Doherty, who passed away from cancer in July.

Although internet users enjoyed the nostalgic reunion, Spelling’s appearance quickly stole the spotlight, sparking a wave of online reactions.

One disappointed Facebook user lamented, “That’s so sad she wears outfits like that. Begging for attention.” Another added a note of genuine concern, “I hope you are ok?”
However, some netizens couldn’t resist poking fun at one detail of Spelling’s appearance. “Where did Tori’s bellybutton [sic] go? 🧐 🤣🤣,” one questioned. Another chimed in, pointing out the unusual feature, “Where’s Tori’s belly button 😫.”

Another gushed, “Tori, you’re super glamorous! ❤️ ♥️,” while someone else praised the actress, “For a Mamma of 5 Tori you look absolutely beautiful [sic]!!!”
Aside from her torso-baring look at the Los Angeles reunion event, Spelling also received mixed reactions for her “plastic” appearance in a trendy dance video posted by her former “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Pasha Pashkov, on September 24.
Choreographed to Freak Nasty’s “Da’ Dip 25,” Pashkov and Spelling exuded cool confidence as they shook their hips from side to side, placing their hands on their waists. The two danced their hearts out in a parking lot.

Footage then showed Pashkov, who wore a charcoal shirt and black sweatpants, dipping all the way back in a chair until he was positioned parallel to the floor with his left leg extended out.

Following suit, Spelling, who wore a black tank top and a red, flowy skirt, did the same thing, but instead of using a chair for support, she used the railing of a staircase.

The duo then performed an impressive dip, with Pashkov holding onto Spelling’s back securely as he dipped her low. The video then cuts back to the two doing the same hip-sway move they did in the beginning before it transitioned to show them eating tasty-looking sushi after dipping the food in some sauce. Pashkov simply captioned, “🍣>.”

Another criticized her for excessive lip injections and plastic surgery, calling it “unnatural.” Someone else pointed out that too much cosmetic surgery makes her look older. Meanwhile, one user took a more neutral stance, describing Spelling as “the most interesting looking [sic] person.”

However, a few fans defended Spelling from the negative comments. One enthusiastically offered encouragement to Spelling, noting she was “Looking good.” another called her and Pashkov “youthful” and expressed happiness about their friendship.
Despite the netizens’ mixed reactions, Spelling has openly discussed her changing appearance publicly.
In her April 16 podcast episode “Mis-Step” on “misSpelling,” Spelling shared her experiences with weight loss drugs, particularly Mounjaro. After giving birth to her fifth child, Spelling faced difficulty losing the baby weight that she had previously managed to shed.

“I was lucky enough that with four of my babies, I lost the baby weight afterwards […] After Beau, I was 160 and I couldn’t lose the weight and the doctor was like, ‘Well, it’s an age thing,’ […] I had him naturally at 44 years old,” Spelling shared.

She explained that despite her attempts to lose weight through more conventional methods like exercising, “intermittent fasting,” and healthy eating she could not lose weight, prompting a visit to her doctor. Having been at a stage where she was going into menopause, she had to “get hormones.”

Her struggle to lose weight after her last pregnancy came as a juxtaposition to having always been slender her whole life, something she credited to being blessed with good genes from her mom and dad.
