“Age is just a number” is an adage, but it can also be a mindset. The march of time is inevitable, but some of us dread it more than others. We say, stop fretting and embrace it. Every star in this week’s installment of Best Dressed Celebrities is over 40, but their smile lines and general outlook on life forced us to stop counting their years and start appreciating how inspirational their style and demeanor is. Which ageless beauty has you looking forward to 40? Vote your favorite in the poll, below.
Helen Mirren
Gown by Badgley Mischka
In a brilliant teal gown with massive off-color sleeves and a cascade of glittering jewels, it’s clear that at 74 years old, Helen Mirren is living her best life.
Victoria Beckham
Outfit by Victoria Beckham
If we had one wish, it would be to reply, “My own, darling” in response to being asked whose design we are wearing. Victoria Beckham in Victoria Beckham is all you need to see to be convinced that this star-turned-fashion-designer has serious style chops.
Katie Holmes
Dress by Marni
The more we see Katie Holmes, the more we appreciate her style renaissance. Her penchant for finding the perfect mix of subtle and quirky has us saving every photo of her we come across to our ‘Stylish Celebs’ collection on Instagram.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Dress by S.R. Studio. LA. CA.
Do you know what keeps us young? Tracee Ellis Ross’ infectious laugh and endearing love of living in the moment. At 46 years old, her enthusiasm has us constantly mistaking her for a much (much) younger woman.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Dress by Bottega Veneta
Gwyneth Paltrow has still got it, but when has she not? She looks exactly the same now as she did in the 90s, a fact that has us currently googling her goop regimen.
