Live in fear of the big 4-0? Take heart. With their flawless skin and not a grey hair in sight, it's hard to believe that these famous faces are in their forties. From Jennifer Lopez to Jennifer Aniston, take a look at which celebrities have kept their youthful glow.
Over forty and fabulous
With skin that flawless, you could easily mistake Claudia Schiffer for a woman half her age – she was still turning heads with that supermodel figure and those white-blonde locks at the 2010 British Fashion Awards in London.
Age: 40
Courteney Cox may be in her mid-forties, but she still retains that classic beauty that propelled her to fame. At the 2010 Golden Globe Awards, she was on top form as she dazzled with a classy updo and smouldering, smoky eyes.
Age: 46
She's 47? Really? We found it hard to believe too. When she stepped out at a Louis Vuitton party in London, Ms Macpherson caused one Elle of a stir with her voluminous tendrils, white minidress and youthful, glowing skin. Hmmph.
Age: 47
We think Halle Berry must be a superwoman. If not, could somebody please explain how she's defying the laws of gravity in such spectacular style? She wowed at a special screening of Frankie & Alice in New York with that sexy cropped hair and utterly flawless make-up.
Age: 44
America's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston manages to stay perma-tanned without ageing – we need the secret immediately! At The Switch premiere in LA, she showcased her usual golden goddess beauty. Not. Fair.
Age: 41
It's really quite criminal for someone to be in their forties and look this good. Jennifer Connelly still looks as fresh-faced and pretty as she did when she was trying to dodge David Bowie in Labyrinth at the tender age of 16. She was on sparkling form at the premiere of What's Wrong with Virginia at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
Age: 41
Ageing seems to have skipped Jennifer Lopez completely, and decided to leave her with the complexion of a teenager for the rest of time. At the 11th Annual Latin Grammys in Las Vegas, she enhanced her beautifully bronzed skin with a matching glittery mini. Gorgeous.
Age: 41
It looks like Julia will eternally be the Pretty Woman that exploded on to the big screen 20 years ago. She looked like she'd barely aged since then at the London premiere of Eat, Pray, Love – but, thankfully, there was no sign of the patent thigh-highs held up with a safety pin.
Age: 43
Charlene? Is that you? No, it's Kylie 20 years later! She was looking wrinkle-free and fabulous at the amfAR Inspiration Gala in LA, and we just loved the caramel-coloured waves, too.
Age: 42
Australian actress Naomi Watts proved just how youth-giving a simple swipe of cream blusher can be at the screening of Fair Game at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Throw in seductive blonde tendrils and the turn-back-time effect is complete.
