Women you think are ageing beautifully with no intervention

Hi,

So I was watching This Morning and Sharon Marshall was on and I was thinking she must be 50 now and looks absolutely incredible. Not that you can't look incredible at 50, whether you actually look 50 or 30!! This isn't age bashing ATALL, but I just thought how refreshing it was to see a woman looking so good, with no hint of the pillow face, which more and more women seem to be getting these days to fight off the wrinkles.

I'm not anti botox, fillers etc, but I do worry that so many women feel pressure to have this look, rather than daring to grow old/er naturally, because that's what we see as the norm.

Anyway, this isn't an anti anything thread, I just wondered who you thought was growing older particularly beautifully, naturally.

Helena C does look wonderful. I always think it's her Nordic bone structure.

Serpenta · 09/06/2021 12:41

I think she's half Peruvian so she got a great mix there.

IntermittentParps · 09/06/2021 12:51

Is she? Well it's served her very well. She's always been stunning.

Geamhradh · 09/06/2021 12:55

Yes, half Danish and half Peruvian if I remember correctly. She was always my favourite of the original supermodels.

Helena Christiensen is my favourite supermodel and she still looks beautiful. Elle Macpherson looks great too but I think she is a bit too thin.
Elle Macpherson's skin is awful. She's wrecked it with too much sun exposure on her Celtic skin. It's often cleaned up for photos but if you see unedited shots, her chest and e tire body looks very bad. She has a great figure and is fit so looks great at a distance.

Maxine Peake. She's only in her 40s, but she looks like a gorgeous woman in her 40s iyswim. Aging just suits some women more than others I think. Bone structure is definitely key.

ZaraW · 09/06/2021 13:43

Elle McPherson has had plenty of fillers and botox

She looks wonderful. I’m so pleased she’s resisted the temptation to have stuff done to her face.

She looks a bit weird but she's still very attractive.
My hairdresser in Oz used to do her hair wefts & weaves.

CherryRipe1 · 09/06/2021 13:54

Has Caroline Proust been mentioned? (The French actress in Spiral) She's fab! I'm shocked that she's in her 50's, she looks lovely & I doubt pulled, snipped & filled.

ZaraW · 09/06/2021 13:57

Audrey Tatou is stunning.

ineedcoffeeandchocolate · 09/06/2021 15:32

There are some great photos of Elle McPherson and her hair looks great.

However, on Instagram there was a photo of her after having a treatment and her ribs were sticking out which made made think she is a bit too thin. Perhaps it was a bad shot.

shallIswim · 09/06/2021 17:35

Anyone mentioned Sharleen Spiteri yet?

Lampzade · 09/06/2021 17:38

Alesha Dixon
I know that she’s still quite young at 42 but I saw a photo of her the other day and not only is she stunning she looks like she is in her late twenties.

ineedcoffeeandchocolate · 09/06/2021 18:25

I thought she was in her 20s!

boogiewithasuitcase · 09/06/2021 21:27

Has Keeley Hawes been mentioned?

Purpleblondelady · 09/06/2021 23:15

Maureen Lipman
Lucy Porter- I know she's only in her 40s so maybe not what you meant by ageing, but her laughter lines make her look so happy!

PurpleSneakers · 10/06/2021 08:22

The 2 Helenas - Bonham Carter (especially love how she is true to herself) and Christensen
Mary Berry
Jennifer Connelly
Rachel Weisz
Rose Byrne
Naomi Watts

Zandra Rhodes
Gail Porter
Amanda Owen (Our Yorkshire farmer) there's just a confidence and ease about her.
I was going to say Honor Blackman but I don't think I realised that she passed away last year.

Purpleblondelady · 10/06/2021 09:11

I meant Our Yorkshire Farm not farmer!

IntermittentParps · 10/06/2021 14:55

Maxine Peake has beautiful luminous skin. I just hope she uses plenty of sunscreen.
God I sound like someone's fussy mum Grin

Cowbells · 11/06/2021 08:57

Elle MacPherson has definitely had treatment.

Seaoftroubles · 11/06/2021 16:08

Emma Thompson, gorgeous and funny, she just keeps getting better and better!
