It seems like some celebrities have discovered the ultimate cheat code for ageing—or at least the art of looking younger than ever.
From TV stars to pop icons, the last few months have showcased a dazzling trend: women in their 50s and 60s who appear to have turned back the clock.
And Karren Brady, The Apprentice star and West Ham vice-chairman, is leading the pack.
This week, Brady shared a series of selfies that left fans blinking in disbelief.
At 56, the grandmother looked almost unrecognizable, sporting a tiny waist, radiant skin, and glossy, voluminous hair.
Her transformation has been so striking that some followers wondered if it was even really her.
Karren Brady: From Corporate Chic to Modern Glam
Brady’s career has spanned over three decades, starting as Managing Director of Birmingham City at just 23.
Back in 1995, photos of her in the stands at St Andrew’s Stadium, dressed in corporate blouses, painted a much more mature, businesslike picture.
Fast forward to today, and she dazzles in lace dresses cinched with Chanel belts, showing off a youthful, playful style that looks more at home on a Gen Z runway.
Brady has openly discussed her love of aesthetic treatments, from a £3,500 ‘invisible facelift’ to recent skin-tightening therapy called Exion, which she says has given her the confidence to rock short-sleeved dresses again.
She’s far from alone in embracing the latest beauty innovations to defy age.
Lauren Sanchez: Ageing Gracefully in the Spotlight
Turning 55 hasn’t slowed down Lauren Sanchez, the wife of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos.
Thirty years ago, Sanchez was a budding TV star navigating countless job rejections, and she looked very different from the glamorous figure she presents today.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Elie Levine told the Daily Mail that Sanchez has subtly softened her look over the years, suggesting she may have reduced fillers rather than added them.
While Sanchez hasn’t confirmed any cosmetic procedures, rumours include everything from facelifts to Botox.
Regardless, she continues to radiate youth, most recently stunning in a Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown in Venice.
Carol Vorderman: Countdown Star Turned Style Icon
Carol Vorderman, the Countdown maths whizz, has transformed from the sensible, boxy-trousered TV personality of the 1980s to a glamorous figure in her 60s.
At 64, she’s embraced form-fitting dresses, flowing highlighted hair, and glowing skin, all while remaining an advocate for clean eating and detox diets.
Her style evolution began in the late 1990s, after having two children, and she’s maintained her youthful appearance with a philosophy she describes as “no f***s given.”
Vorderman has openly spoken about enjoying her sixties and embracing her body as it changes, even denying cosmetic enhancements while acknowledging the natural transformations menopause brought.
Amanda Holden: Ageless Star Power
Amanda Holden, Britain’s Got Talent judge, is another star defying age at 54.
Known for her toned physique and radiant complexion, Holden combines high-tech treatments with consistent fitness and skin care.
She swears by non-invasive therapies like LED light masks and AgeJet Plasma Skin Therapy, and emphasizes moderation over extremes.
From her early TV appearances in the 1990s to life as a mother of two, Holden’s commitment to her beauty regime has kept her glowing, proving that age really can be just a number.
Jennifer Lopez: Timeless Pop Icon
Jennifer Lopez has been in the public eye since the mid-1990s, and at 56, she appears to age in reverse.
Maintaining her figure involves rigorous diet and exercise routines, strict sleep schedules, and careful attention to skincare.
Lopez’s glam factor extends beyond her fitness—her evolving hairstyles, designer wardrobe, and makeup artistry ensure she’s always red-carpet ready.
From the Bronx to international stardom, she embodies the ultimate anti-ageing formula: discipline, style, and confidence.
Gillian Anderson: Embracing Natural Beauty
Gillian Anderson first captivated audiences as Dana Scully in The X-Files and today, at 57, she continues to shine.
The American actress, a mother of three, attributes her youthful look to sun protection, healthy skincare habits, and consistent workouts.
Unlike some stars, Anderson emphasizes natural ageing.
She credits her European theatre experiences with fostering a mindset where women can age gracefully without feeling pressured to look younger.
Her mantra? Age is an advantage, not a limitation—a philosophy she encourages others to adopt fearlessly.
The New Standard of Ageing
Across the board, these women show that ageing can be glamorous, confident, and unapologetically stylish.
Whether through careful lifestyle choices, aesthetic treatments, or a fearless approach to personal style, they are redefining what it means to thrive in their 50s and 60s.
For fans and followers alike, it’s a powerful reminder: ageing isn’t something to fear—it’s something to flaunt.
