Are there any woman in the public eye who look younger than their years?

[AbsentmindedWoman]

It comes up quite regularly on MN, where people comment that really nobody of say 40+ looks much younger than their actual age.

But plenty of other women do say they genuinely get taken for younger. So it's obviously quite individual.

Are there any women in the public eye who do look younger, do you think?

I find this fascinating as I am truly shit at guessing anybody's age! Which I suspect could be something to do with being neurodivergent - I just don't 'see' the small giveaways.

Funny .. those saying Halle had a nose job
I agree but i think slimming nose job actually ages her, especially if one has a cute button nose yo begin with.

I also think people have different standards to what they perceive as looks young. Sorry but I don't see it in Suzie Dent and many others mentioned. As a poc I'm often around other women who are poc and 9 out of 10 I would guess their age incorrectly younger than they are.

Nicola Adams is 39 which is way older than I would have thought.

What?!?!?!?!

@Rewis

I think a lot of times in magazines the article confuses people who look younger and who are just very good looking. Like Jennifer Aniston, I'm not sure she looks much younger than she is. She's just very good looking. Same with Helen mirren.

I think Vera Wang, Cecile Tyson, alexis bledel, Gabrielle Union, gwen Stefani and rita moreno look younger than their age

I think another part of it is that they haven't really obviously changed much over a few decades.

Kate Beckinsale for example looks the exact same as she did in pearl harbour 20 years ago.

Gabrielle Union looks very similar to how she looked in bring it on. I think she looked older than her age in that movie but then I often think Americans look a lot older in their 20s than people do in Ireland where I live. Maybe we have a lot of baby faced people here. People always think I am a lot younger than I am.

Jennifer Lopez always looked older than her years (not in a bad way) she's beautiful but there are pics here from when she was apparently 18 and 21. She looks very similar now to how she looked then!

So it's more like the women seem ageless!

I saw Skunk Anasie playing the other night and couldn't believe that Skin turns 55 this year. I think part of it is the raw energy she exudes on stage, but she seems to have barely aged since the 90s.

Nancy Shevell

Agree re Tina OBrien she 38 does not look it.
