There used to be a time when asking a woman’s age was a guaranteed way to find yourself on the receiving end of a side-eye. Covering up grays, insisting on celebrating our 21st birthdays for a decade, even flat out pretending we were a different age altogether. Aging was seen as such a marker of a woman’s worth declining that it became something to fear.
However, over the last few years, that story has changed. Gone are the days of women being afraid to tell their age. Now, we see women embracing the wisdom and enhanced beauty that comes with years lived. Tearing down old ideals of beauty being equal to youth, these women prove that things just get better with time.

I mean…has there ever been a woman who embodied the essence of aging with grace, flair, and style to boot more than Tina Turner? The answer is no. Even at 81-years-old, Tina is still the flyest woman on the block.
Whatever your age, remember that your beauty is not determined by the numbers in your birthdate, on a scale, or in your bank account.
