Kelly’s styling team kept her signature loose blonde curls. Her makeup team finished off her glam with smoky gold eye makeup. The talk show host took to Instagram to flaunt her looks with the caption, “Mom and dad storming the red carpet.”

Kelly is renowned for her commitment to fitness and well-being. She has always been open about the importance of exercise in her life. “There are a lot of people that don’t have to work out, and I am so happy for them, but I have to work out for my body type,” she shared.

Kelly’s approach to health extends beyond the gym. She is focused on nutrition, and it has profoundly impacted her life. She adheres to a high-alkaline diet. The talk show host credits her diet for keeping her pain-free and energized. While she enjoys coffee and wine, Kelly balances these indulgences with periods of strict adherence to her diet.

Kelly and her husband are parents of three. Their kids are Lola Consuelos, Joaquin Antonio Consuelos, and Michael Joseph Consuelos. Her only daughter, Lola, also has a keen fashion sense. They have amusingly acknowledged her flair for fashion. Their daughter’s fashion sense often leaves them questioning their own fashion choices.

While Kelly is in her 50s, another celebrity, Cher, in her 70s, has had fans talking about her fashion choices. Cher is a phenomenal musician known for her daring looks. She collaborates with the iconic costumier Bob Mackie. He has designed clothes for many Hollywood A-listers.

Their paths crossed in 1967 on the “Carol Burnett Show.” Their then-newfound friendship gave a whole new meaning to fashion and glamor. When Cher appeared at the 1986 Oscar Awards in a stunning and glittering look by Bob, she turned heads.

At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, her outfits once again had people talking online. She had rocked two sparkly outfits that showed off her skin. The then-71-year-old singer rocked a head-to-toe silver outfit with pink heart-shaped pasties.

The outfit looked like a short “robe” made out of silvery strands of jewels. Cher accessorized her look with a pair of silver ankle boots and a platinum wig with tips that matched her pasties.

Despite receiving mixed opinions, Cher remains undisturbed by the passage of time. Cher’s long career spanned decades. She has fearlessly embraced various fashion and beauty experiments. She achieved milestones like winning an Oscar. However, despite her boldness, there’s one line she reportedly won’t cross: she refuses to let her hair turn gray.

During the pandemic, numerous celebrities opted for a natural look. But Cher clarified that her iconic jet-black hair was not going anywhere. She shared: “[Going gray] is fine for other girls, I’m just not doing it!”

Cher is willing to try different beauty styles but emphasizes the importance of enjoying the process. She feels that people who excessively criticize others’ makeup choices should focus on more meaningful things.

Her approach to beauty has changed over time. She enjoys adding glamour with “big eyelashes,” and suggests that those trying to emulate her iconic look should remember that “less is more.”

Cher believes that living life on her terms is the key to happiness. She thinks it’s essential to hold onto the playful spirit of one’s youth to stay young at heart. According to her, if you never stop being a girl, you will never get old. On X, formerly Twitter, in May 2023, she shared her thoughts on aging on her birthday.

She wrote: “Ok, Will Someone 🙏🏼PLEASE Tell me…..When Will I Feel OLD👶🏻. This is ridiculous🙄. I keep hearing these numbers, but I Honestly can’t understand them. WHATS THE DEAL WITH #’s⁉️ I’m dyslexic & #’s Are hard 4 me. Thank you for staying, I know it’s been hard. Got to go work out. Twitter is harder for me than TweetBot [sic].”

Later that year, she was asked her secret for looking fabulous in her 70s. Cher replied, “I remember when my friend Paulette and I were talking about when we were gonna have to cut our hair and stop wearing jeans because it seemed like in those days, that’s what women did.”

However, Cher remarked that it hadn’t happened yet. She also couldn’t believe she would be 80 at some point. Even though it was sooner than her wishes, the singer said she would still be donning her jeans and long hair. She would also be doing the same things she had always done.

Although Cher has made the internet buzz in her 70s, Donna Mills took it by storm at 82. The actress stunned social media users on August 7, 2023, when she posted recent pictures on her Instagram. The first photo grabbed attention as she posed on the road.

Despite Donna Mills receiving many positive comments, some did not like what she wore and voiced their opinions. One person commented, “Too old to wear such a dress.” However, most of her fans loved her outfit and wanted to know her secret to look young. In the past, she had to field hurtful and ageist comments and criticism for having a child later in life.

In 2022, Donna shared that she prioritized her career until she felt a void without a child. Despite being single at 54, she pursued her desire and adopted Chloe Mills at four days old. Her actions received criticism, and people said Donna was “so old” to have a toddler around. But that’s not how she felt. The actress didn’t feel any older than mothers in their 20s.

Donna spent the initial years working on television films, taking her daughter along wherever she went. However, when her daughter started school, she halted her career for 18 years. She didn’t want her daughter to be raised by a nanny, and extended work periods away from home weren’t feasible.

Nowadays, Donna has resumed acting as she loves her job. She had to hire an agent and manager. Her daughter is in college, but they remain close, meeting weekly and staying in touch through calls and texts daily.

Donna believes in continuously reinventing herself. She pursues new dreams through her work. Despite nearing 90, when asked if she plans to retire, her answer is always a resounding “no.”

She values the opportunity to work, volunteer, or bring joy to others. The actress sees it as a way to impact the world, even in small ways. In the end, she appreciates giving some of herself to others.
