10 celebrities over 40 with great style
Fashion knows no age. It doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 75, you can always tweak the year’s latest trends to fit your style and needs. Nowadays, there are fewer taboos about what you can and can’t wear at certain ages and, as a result, women are reaching their personal style peaks at all times of life.
While Hollywood is notorious for its ageing-woman stigma, female celebrities over 40 are carving their own paths and reminding us that, like a fine wine, the best is yet to come. To salute our style stars over 40, we chose ten A-listers whose style keeps getting better with age.
Stylish and so effortlessly cool, there’s nothing Kerry Washington can’t do. Her colourful, bold, androgynous style is proof that “dressing for your age” is nothing but BS.
