Last night Golden Globe awards were once again the show to see if you want to see real Hollywood glam!
Here we talk a little about what they did right! (notice that none of them overdid the jewelry, they kept things simple!)
Our picks for best dressed over 40 actress’s are:
Jane Fonda:
Jane looked absolute wonderful!
What she did right:
~Dress was tasteful but still sexy.
~Her hair is cut in a fashionable style
~Her hair color is not too dark and has natural highlights
~Sheer neckline shoes a little cleavage and yet is not too high either.
~This dress looks does not look like a costume and she could probably wear it a few more times!
Eva Longora (only 35 but looked great):
She is just one spectacular lady!
~Love the neckline, so faltering
~the cap sleeve is flattering on her thin arms. (most women her age would have a hard time pulling those off!)
~Her updo looks perfect with this gown~
~This gown is not made for walking or a night of dancing… it is a couture piece.
Nicole Kidman:
As usual, classic elegance defines her.
~This simple off the shoulder dress is a very popular style these days and can look great on most body types
~The pale color compliments her shin tone and she looks harmonious in it.
~Wearing her hair just simple and straight works to perfection.
~The pin at the neck, gives it a little personality and her own spin on it.
Blogs are abuzz about Sophia Loren.
The 75 year old star looked beautiful as ever a the 2010 Golden Globe awards. Many are wondering, just how does Sophia Loren manage to look so fab?
Whatever she does, it is working – minus the rainbow glasses which she should lose!
One thing we’ve noticed in the last couple of decades is that Sophia has a little trick of lightly covering her shoulders, arms and sometimes decolletage with sheer fabric.
This gives the illusion of bareness, which is sexy, but in reality you are covered up and not exposing crepy skin or aging arms.
Smart!
What else looked great? Check it out below…
| Sandra Bullock looked vibrant in this gorgeous shade of purple. |
 |
| Helen Mirren- elegant style, fabulous fit, but she is fair and this black washes her out. |
 |
| Julianna Moore- interesting choice, but looks like a a shower curtain sewn up the middle. We like the shoes but they look too heavy with this dress and drag it down. |
 |
| Loved the color of the dress with her auburn hair, but the one shoulder style makes her look like a wrestler.For more great photos of Fab women over 40 check out popsugar. |

Way to go to Helen Mirren, Annette Bening and Meryl Streep,who all got it right at this year’s Golden Globes. These women looked gorgeous!
The reason? They took the high road. They didn’t try to compete with young starlets by wearing too trendy styles or gowns that exposed everything, and are best suited to 20-somethings.
Instead, they took a more elegant approach, donning classic styles, in rich fabrics and colors, that revealed only their current best features.
Helen looked like one sexy siren in her stunning teal blue gown that highlighted her still beautiful bustline.
Annette played up her well toned arms and shapely legs in a chic column gown slit up the side.
Meryl, (pictured here with her daughter ) looked like a Grecian goddess in a softly draped gown that showed off lovely neck and decolletage(although the nude shade did wash her out a little- a hint of color would have made Meryl look even more fabulous).
The style lesson here: You CAN be just as gorgeous (if not more) in the “second chapter” of your life.
Keep things CLASSY by playing up your best features now, not the ones that used to be great 10 years ago.
