These Women Over 50 Prove That Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number When It Comes To Style

Who runs the world? These foxy women over 50 do!

Recently, the fashion and beauty world has been realizing (finally) that they don’t need to feature 20-somethings in their ads to sell clothes and skin ointments.

Proof? Just check out Helen Mirren’s new commercial for L’Oreal Paris and Joan Didion’s bad-ass ad for Céline.

Not only are these ladies gorgeous but they have rad style, which rival (and even surpass) today’s young style stars.

So, without further ado, here are 25 women over 50 who prove that age ain’t nothing but a number (sing it, Aaliyah!) when it comes to fashion.

The 7 Best Exercises for Women Who Wear Heels

There’s nothing like a pair of killer heels to make you feel put-together, confident, and sexy as hell. But wearing heels day in and day out can do a number on your feet, ankles, and calves. Here’s what we mean: When you wear heels, the lifting of your ankle puts your calf muscle in a shortened position, explains New York City-based personal trainer Jessi Kneeland. This can lead to pain in your ankles or knees. “We want to combat that by stretching and lengthening the muscles,” says Kneeland. “You also want to strengthen the glutes and hamstrings [butt and back thigh muscles] to make sure you are stable and have support.”

CLOSET CLEANUP: What to wear, what to toss

Turns out most people wear less than half of the clothes they own, but FOX 9’s Rob Olson got some tips on how to make the most of your wardrobe and clean out closet clutter.

“I might use it someday” seems to be the way many sum up their clothing keepsakes, but hanging on to too many outdated outfits can turn a wardrobe into a closet-space vampire. In fact, most people only actually use 20 percent of what they have hanging up at home.

Mall of America trend expert Sara Rogers believes that in order for a wardrobe to be functional, it should be built on the basics.

Watch the video for more information.

Rogers said simply moving duds that have been collecting dust can help determine whether or not to keep them, and periodic purges can keep a closet focused on quality instead of quantity.
