Most people dread hitting the big 4-0. It’s like some wall that you smash into, beginning a descent away from one’s prime.
But for some, 40 is just a beginning.
A number of the world’s most beautiful women—models and actresses, the lot of them—have eclipsed that milestone and continued to enjoy popularity and acclaim on their Instagram pages. We’ve collected our 10 favorite below.
Christie Brinkley – 63 – Everybody’s crush since the ’80s. Still everybody’s crush.
Elle MacPherson – 53 – She holds the record for most Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers with five, and she’s still stunning all these years later.
Monica Bellucci – 52 – She was a Bond girl at 50 in Spectre. A first for the franchise that was inspirational to many fans.
Elizabeth Hurley – 52 – RCL‘s given her Instagram page love in the past. (Hugh Grant is still kicking himself.)
Cindy Crawford – 51 – She’s got 2.2 million Instagram followers. We wonder why …
Halle Berry – 50 – Her Instagram page’s bio features a quote by Henry David Thoreau from Walden: “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Well, we still like what we see.
Jennifer Lopez – 47 – What can you say? JLo has the presence that most 20-something pop starlets would envy.
Carmen Electra – 45 – Electra-fying.
Sofia Vergara – 44 – The Modern Family star is as beautiful now as when she first broke into the business.
Kate Beckinsale – 43 – RCL‘s covered her fitness leanings. Of course, she rounds out our list.
