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.
Is there a time in life when jeans are no longer appropriate to wear?
I am 60 and am a size 14 pear shape with a very casual life style.

Hi Sharon,
Great question! We think you can wear jeans forever, however you really need to keep them updated.
When you are a pear, that means making sure you get the style that fits!
You probably will need to still take them to the tailor to get them to fit.
These jeans are updated and look great, but will not work for a pear shaped body!
Here are some ways to update your jeans:
- Wear a cropped jacket with a casual t-shirt
- jeans with rips and faded washes are “iffy” for women over 40. Jane Fonda’s shredded jeans ( see photo below) make her look desperate to be young at 72.
Too trendy jeans on mature women like Jane Fonda resemble a costume.
- Darker wash jeans are classy and updated!
- Wearing jeans with traditional clogs is comfortable, but tend to age women over 40 unless you wear the new high heel version of a clog. (*if you disagree with this comment, go to our past post about clogs)
- For fall, boots are the way to go with jeans. Flat ones for casual, heels for a dressier look.
- For those that are pear shaped, you can tuck in and wear a belt…so those with other body types, try them with a longer top and belt at the hip or for go the belt all together!
After 40, we find we are all wearing jeans more than ever. Make sure yours fit well and you are wearing the right shoes with them.
Cheers,
JoJami and Deborah
Never say never!
Just when Jane Fonda said she would never get cosmetic surgery again, she sneaked in and did it. ..I guess it’s that new boyfriend she has!
You don’t see a lot of difference at first, until you look down at her neck. She looks pretty good!
You know our stand on all of this; it’s such a personal thing. There’s no right or wrong. It’s all up to how you feel. We know some of you may disagree and that’s why we throw this post in. It makes for lively conversation.
We’d love to hear your views and experiences, pro and con. What do you think of Jane’s decision to have more cosmetic surgery at 72?
Is there anything wrong with wanting to be a “Glamorous Grandma”, as Jane calls it?
