[quote=Anonymous][size=9] [/size][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those celebrities listed above are beautiful, but notice they are still replicating youthful appearances. Rita and Lynda with their wigs and Isabella (a personal idol of mine) and her hair dye.

So is there genuinely an attractiveness to older age in women or are we just applauding those who can mimic and stay youth-adjacent for the longest time? Genuine question.[/quote]

Isabella might dye her hair, but she also wears it short in a way that embraces the changes of age. She has the body of a healthy person in their 70s, and wears caftans and loose, comfortable clothes that don't try to conceal this. She has jowls and wrinkles, yet regularly is photographed without makeup, or in minimal makeup, and doesn't appear to be getting procedures to "fix" these markers of age.

Rita might wear a wig but she's embraced gray hair. She looks like a grandmother. An energetic, delightful, lovely, grandmother, but a grandmother.

Lynda is the only one of these women who I think might have had some substantive work done, but I also think she embraces her age in her own way.

A lot of us do things to our appearance that make us feel more like ourselves as we age. I'm mid-40s and debating embracing my grays and going for a shorter cut, and one factor for me is that if I do both, I won't recognize myself. So I might just do one and see how it goes, then maybe try the other in a few years. I don't think that means I'm trying to look younger than I am. I am just servicing the psychological aspect of aging, wanting to stay recognizably myself even as I embrace the changes.

Anyway, the most "youth adjacent" thing about these women is their energy and enthusiasm for life.[/quote]

You words are nice but ultimately they still support the idea that this is really about being youth adjacent in looks. You want to stay “recognizable” to yourself just means you want to stay how you are your youthful self. If your hair is now gray that is what your hair actually is. You just haven’t given your eyes/brain a chance to catch. [/quote]
