Just watched a Queen concert from 1986 and note how good looking Brian May is even now. Always thought Sean Connery has aged well too.
Michael Douglas was good looking when younger but looks a bit scary now. His dad Kirk was handsome when younger but really went weird looking when he was old.
Who do you think has aged well?

I know I do not look to be inmy 90th year because friends tell me so. However I am mortified to tell you I embarrass myself by mentioning thatI will be 90
this year! My sister died 2 days before her 90th birthday and that really upset me. I so wanted her to get there. I confess I love to see the look on some peoples faces whenI tell thrm that I am nearly 90. but I do wish i didnt want to tell the world my age!

Me....🙏 68 my mum and gran were same..no wrinkles, good genes I think. Rarely use moisturiser and had no work done,nor ever will have.....

I thought I looked really good for my age - until I got my cataracts done. What a shock! Where did all the those wrinkles come from. Life wasn't so scary in soft focus.

I am more upset about my voice. I love going to choir but my voice has become quavery, though my latest health test says I have excellent lung function.

I agree about Martin Kemp.

Same here! www.instagram.com/p/C1odo92N_VV/ I'm 58 but could pass as a lot older!

You’re not wrong!!!

I think both Judi Dench and Joanna Lumley look great for their age.

Richard Gete although I’ve not seen him lately 😁

Everyone here is cackling over how good they look or how awful they look. Listen, Chicas… we all have two looks - our early morning wake-up face and our afternoon go-to-meeting face. Big differences. We’re all in the same boat.

Love who you are and just keep smiling, that’s the most beautiful look of all.

I saw Tom Jones in concert about 18 months ago when he was about 81 and he was fantastic. The voice is still there. Of course, he didn't wiggle his hips nor did anyone throw their knickers st him but he was just amazing!

I'm thinking Barry Gibb is looking so handsome at 76. Wow!

Calendargirl Fri 05-Jan-24 14:43:33

That picture isn’t Barry Gibb at 76!

I used to think he was gorgeous in about 1968, not now I’m afraid.

Sorry Barry.

Barry Gibb last year, aged 77

Here’s a pic of Helen Mirren looking like a lot of 77 year olds before the makeup experts work their magic.

And here’s Bryan Ferry at 78, still gorgeous.

Coolbreeze I'd add the sweeping brush eyelashes, and slug eyebrows!

Not a good look imho.

I haven't read them all, but has anyone mentioned Joan Collins? I think she's great and even wears low-neck dresses.

Nicolenet Fri 05-Jan-24 16:43:32

No one close up!

Or looking down with face galloping to the floor (at Pilates for example).

I agree Judy Dench is amazing, not just her looks but her personality. I also agree Sean Connery aged very well, sadly he is now dead. For me, though, I always admired Jane Birken, who sadly died in the Autumn.

Anyone who hasn't had any work done

Oh yes, when I got my cataracts done I saw what I really looked like!

I agree with others that smoking does seem to make you age more, I suppose it is the creases around your mouth. Also being very thin does seem to result in more wrinkes - less fat under the skin to plump out the creases.

What about Katie Price, I think it’s what she calls herself now, what has she done to herself.
