Andie MacDowell
‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ actress Andie MacDowell, 65, is proud to show off her grey hair and insists that trying to hide the inevitable is pointless. In a 2013 interview with Allure, the star recalled: "You can look great for your age, but you're still gonna age. I dated a guy recently who said I looked really good for my age. I was like, why not just, ‘You look really good’? I never went out with him again." (© BANG Showbiz)

Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett, 53, believes that the fear of ageing is something that people project, even if they undergo anti-ageing procedures. Speaking to Vanity Fair in 2009, the actress said: “I haven't done anything, but who knows. When you've had children, your body changes; there's history to it. I like the evolution of that history; I'm fortunate to be with somebody who likes the evolution of that history. I think it's important to not eradicate it. I look at someone's face and I see the work before I see the person. I personally don't think people look better when they do it; they just look different. You're certainly not staving off the inevitable. And if you're doing it out of fear, that fear's still going to be seen through your eyes. The windows to your soul, they say.” (©BANG Showbiz)

The former First Lady of the United States sees ageing as a sign of empowerment, maturity and growth. In a 2009 interview with Prevention, the 59-year-old lawyer and author said: “To me, with age, everything has gotten better. You have way more control; you know yourself better. My goal is to be a great-looking 70-year-old!" (©BANG Showbiz)

Cindy Crawford
In 2009, model and ‘Fair Game’ actress Cindy Crawford, 57, shared with Allure her views on ageing, stating that she embraces the signs. She said: "I don’t have to try to feel young. It’s only when you start thinking about the number that you don’t feel that way, so I don’t dwell on the number. I just embrace where I am today. I think I look pretty good for 43. But I don’t look the way I did when I was 23. So, if Star magazine or whatever wants to print a picture of me on the beach from the back, at the worst possible angle, and say that I have cellulite, I’m like, Guess what? I do, and I never said I didn’t. I’ve had two kids, and I’m 43, so leave me alone." (©BANG Showbiz)

Kate Winslet
Kate Winslet, 47, known for multiple box-office hits like ‘Titanic’ and ‘The Holiday’, told the Telegraph in 2011 that ageing isn’t something that keeps her up at night. In fact, she thinks it is important career-wise. After saying that she’ll “never give in” to the pressure of undergoing cosmetic procedures, she said: “I am an actress, I don’t want to freeze the expression of my face. It goes against my morals, the way that my parents brought me up and what I consider to be natural beauty.” (©BANG Showbiz)

Diane Lane
‘Nights in Rodanthe’ actress Diane Lane, 58, is fully aware of the fact that ageing is as natural as our environment. Speaking to Good Housekeeping, she said: “I take comfort that aging happens to everybody. It's part of life. Yes, it bothers me when I have lines or puffiness or droops. But it connects me with the human race. Just like the weather is the great equalizer, so is ageing." (©BANG Showbiz)

Cameron Diaz
‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ actress Cameron Diaz, 50, thinks that ageing is nothing more than evidence of the life events she has gone through. Speaking to The Pool, she said: “We can't keep young forever and I'm not a superhero and can't age backwards, and I'm not going to beat myself up for that. We don't have to look at ageing as a bad thing. We are the masses. We have the power to say, 'I'm actually going to embrace this because I am valuable and I have more to offer that someone who hasn't had the experience that I have'." (©BANG Showbiz)

Drew Barrymore
‘Never Been Kissed’ actress Drew Barrymore, 48, is a natural beauty pro, but she has also admitted that she keeps herself away from cosmetic procedures, as she could become addicted to them. In a 2021 episode of her show, ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, she said: “I’ve never done anything to my face and I would like to try not to. Never say never. I know myself. I’m a highly addictive person. I do one injection, I’m going to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein by Friday,” referring to the personality known for having multiple cosmetic surgeries. Drew added: “We’re gonna age, things are gonna go south and it’s okay and it’s a part of life and I feel more human and more vulnerable every year of my life, but I also know how to appreciate every year more and more, too.” (©BANG Showbiz)

Kate Beckinsale
‘Underworld’ actress Kate Beckinsale, 49, told The Sunday Times that many people believe that she has used Botox, which bothers her. She said: “I haven’t had any [work done]. I’m not against people having it … It’s sort of a given that I’ve had it, which I just literally haven’t.” Kate added that she is terrified of paralyzing her face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, something that comes from how her mother raised her. She said: “My mom’s voice is in my head, very loud, at all times. My mom wouldn’t even get a facial, she is suspicious of anything like that, and looks f**king radiant and amazing. I know if I did do Botox, I’d be the one that would get the droopy eye, and my mom would go: ‘I f**king told you! See? You should never do that.’” (© BANG Showbiz)

Salma Hayek
‘Frida’ actress Salma Hayek, 56, is considered to be one of the most beautiful Hollywood actresses, and it seems her beauty secret is to keep things natural. In an interview with The New York Times, she said: “One of the reasons I don't dye my hair is because I don't have the patience to sit through it. I don't want to spend what's left of my youth pretending I'm younger and then not enjoying life." (©BANG Showbiz)
