echo the reverence<\/a>. Says her\u00a0Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/i>\u00a0director, Ryan Coogler, \u201cEverybody loves Angela\u2026 She\u2019s a national treasure, know what I mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cShe\u2019s so incredible that sometimes you forget\u2026 Her work ethic is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another case in point:\u00a0former\u00a0Baywatch<\/i>\u00a0bombshell Pamela Anderson, 58, who stunned the fashion world two years ago by daring to do the unthinkable\u00a0\u2014\u00a0arrive at Paris Fashion Week without a trace of makeup and look radiant doing it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith so many pressures and postures,\u201d Jamie Lee Curtis, 67 (and also on our list), wrote on Instagram, \u201c[Anderson] showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis has earned her own praise for challenging ageism and the pressures women face, having, as\u00a0The Guardian<\/i>\u00a0notes, \u201cbecome someone who appears to operate outside the usual Hollywood rules.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another quality of being fabulous is knowing it\u2019s not a solo act, it\u2019s a sisterhood. Two of our picks \u2014 Naomi Watts, 57, and Nicole Kidman, 58 \u2014 have been devoted friends for more than 40 years. These women don\u2019t compete; they collaborate and cheer each other on.<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s June Squibb, 96 \u2014 living proof that \ufeffa late bloom can be the brightest. After six decades in the business, she earned her first Oscar nomination at 84 for\u00a0Nebraska<\/i>\u00a0and scored her first leading role in 2024\u2019s\u00a0Thelma<\/i>. As one New York critic quipped, \u201cThere are 70-year-olds who want to be like June Squibb when they grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Women of every age could take a cue from screen icon Sophia Loren, 91, who understood \ufeffthe power of experience long before it was fashionable. \u201cThere is a fountain of youth,\u201d she wrote in her 1984 book\u00a0Women & Beauty<\/i>\u00a0as she turned 50. \u201cIt is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life.\u2026 When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.\u201d \ufeff<\/p>\n
These women are not in their \u201csecond act,\u201d they are in their truest act \u2014 bold, wise, stylish, powerful and luminous in ways youth can\u2019t imitate.<\/p>\n
What could be more fabulous than that?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
