From Cher to Susan Sarandon, older women are making waves on red carpets

How dazzling was Cher performing at the recent Billboard Awards in her signature transparent fabulousness? And, as for Susan Sarandon on the red carpet at Cannes, dio mio: that cleavage; that face. Here are some more of our favourite septuagenarians, in no particular order. 

Cher, 71

Cher at the recent Billboard awards in Las Vegas is a vision: always has been, always will be. Her beauty tips include following a vegetarian diet and no smoking or drinking, ergo her great skin. 

Diane Keaton, 71

Academy Award-winning actress Diane Keaton is still channelling her beguiling Annie Hall character. Her artfully coloured hair and smoky eye scream "chic chic chic".

Driven and ambitious: Diane Keaton.

Dame Helen Mirren, 71

Helen Mirren is as sexy as ever. She posed for the 2017 Pirelli Calendar alongside Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and another of our septuagenarians, Joni Mitchell. Loving that platinum hair and pure bold red lips.

Joni Mitchell, 73

Joni Mitchell is still going strong and adding Grammy Awards to her bulging cabinet. This woman is pure style with her poker-straight blonde locks and her pitch-perfect lips.

​Susan Sarandon, 71 

That face, those boobs, that hair. Susan Sarandon got it so right on the red carpet at Cannes. Perfect blush placement teamed with soft berry lips is the key to stellar style.

Dolly Parton, 71

Pocket rocket Dolly Parton has had her fair share of "work" done, to which she freely admits. She is also a firm believer of never-a-hair-out of place paired with a full face of makeup. Go Dolly!

Barbra Streisand, 75

At 75 Barbra Streisand is as striking as ever and has mastered the "no makeup makeup" to perfection. I love her glossy nude lips.

Jane Fonda, 79

For me Jane Fonda is the complete beauty package, from her perfect blonde highlights to her kohl rimmed eyes and peach perfect lips. No wonder L'Oréal Paris love her. Jane's beauty mantra: "Avoid stress and sleep a lot – I sleep eight or nine hours a night. For me sleep is really important."
