Women you think are ageing beautifully with no intervention

[TFISunny]

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.

Sally Dynevor, Zoe Ball, Kate Winslet

Jo Brand.

I’ve always thought Jo Brand was beautiful (something about the way her face moves) and was absolutely ripped to shreds on here once for saying so.

Anyway, her.”

I agree

That's interesting. I saw a photo of her the other day and thought: Oh wow - you are beautiful! She has huge eyes, a really wide mouth and very silky looking skin. I know she's not conventionally beautiful but I love looking at her and she's aging so well.

Jane Goodall. 87, looks it in a really beautiful way.

Annie Lennox!

She has always been startlingly beautiful, but somehow age and life and lines have actually made her even more so.

I was watching the Friends reunion and I thought In comparison to the others the two who have clearly had the least done to their face, Lisa Kudrow and Matt le Blanc looked by far the best. Matt is out there living his best life and giving no fucks and Lisa although I think has had some Botox still looked natural and not tight and puffy faced with cat eyes.

100%

They've all had work done.

What disappoints me is that people like Courtney Cox and Matt LeBlanc have paid a lot of money to look that bad.

I work in a clinic that does a lot of cosmetic procedures and have dabbled myself and it takes a lot of effort to look like you are ageing well naturally. It's easy to make someone look plastic. It's a lot more difficult to make them look natural.

When I have Botox, I have to pay a lot more for a doctor who actually gives me half a dose.

Whatever work Jane Seymour has had done is really good imo.

Claire sweeny! She's probably had help but whatever it is, it's subtle and she looks amazing.

Celia Imrie
Kate Winslet

Kate Humble
Sharon Stone
Jamie Lee Curtis

Helen Mirren is my ageing inspiration.

They've all had work done.

And how would you know? Some women don't want it. I don't.

it takes a lot of effort to look like you are ageing well naturally

No, women have aged well naturally for centuries.

Julia Roberts
Liliane Rovére (Arlette in Call My Agent)
SJP
Sharon Horgan

I also could watch Mary Beard for hours. Her face lights up when she’s talking about her subject and she just shines. True inner beauty, lit by intellect.

I’m sure she has had work (as do they all) but Nigella Lawson looks amazing, I think being properly beautiful in the first place helps a lot!

Jennifer Lopez.

Women (and most men) in the public eye who haven't had interventions to disguise some of the effects of aging are few and far between. The ones you think are natural have just had subtle work.

Whenever I see nearly 90 year old Joan Bakewell I think she looks great.

Shakira, only 43 but I know she will still look the same in another ten years. Gwyneth, though it pains me to admit it. Geri Haliwell, Victoria B, Kylie though for sure they all have top quality work done . Jane Fonda. Christine the French lady in charge of EU finances!!! Most French women! Vanessa Paradis. Beverly Knight.

Michelle Obama, not forgetting the best of the bunch. Melanie Trump, have to admit it.
