For celebrities like Priscilla Presley, Sophia Loren and Jane Fonda, age appears to be just a number – so what are their beauty secrets?

Age is no barrier to beauty. Legendary actress Joan Collins, 92, recently turned heads in a chic white swimsuit as she shared a glamorous photo from her holiday in the south of France on Instagram, inspiring us all to embrace every chapter of life with elegance and flair.

Regarding her beauty secrets, Collins shared in a 2023 interview with The Guardian that she focuses on moisturising, using night cream and avoiding sun exposure. She also shared that she has never undergone plastic surgery, citing a fear of needles.

Collins is far from alone. Across Hollywood, a remarkable group of celebrities over the age of 80 continue to captivate with their stunning looks and timeless elegance. Whether on the red carpet or in everyday moments, these inspiring stars are making headlines and redefining what it means to grow older with confidence and optimism.

Rita Moreno is one of only a few entertainers to have achieved the EGOT (winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award). In a 2023 interview with First for Women, the actress and dancer reveals her biggest health secret: “I hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!” She also claims to use only one skincare product – “Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer, which has sunscreen in it” – adding, “I exercise my brain in every way I can.” For example, Moreno says, she has taught herself to write with her left (nondominant) hand, and also walks backwards to challenge herself.

Sophia Loren truly embodies one of her iconic phrases: “Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” In an interview this year with Hello!, the actress attributes her timeless beauty not to secrets or dramatic treatments, but to embracing her natural self. Her beauty regimen features olive oil as both a moisturiser and dietary staple, mint leaves to diminish under-eye circles, and plenty of water to maintain hydration.
