9 Celebs who are over 40 and looking fabulous!

We’ve all gotten accustomed to seeing our favourite celebs turn into scary versions of themselves as they grow older. Many go overboard with the plastic surgery and end up looking too pumped up and stretched.

However, there are a few stars who seem to be choosing the alternative and are rather aging gracefully.

Here are our fave over 40s…

 

 

1.Angela Bassett – 57

The stunning actress always looks radiant and flawless everytime she steps out.

Thanks to my Glam Team! @dandremichael @hairjunkierandy @jlynnstyle18

2. Leleti Khumalo – 45      

The actress is still as gorgeous as she was when we first met her as Sarafina.

I used to watch this lady on TV growing up but today I’m invited to important awards in my city as a young businessman #LeletiKhumalo #DreamsDoComeTrue #livinglegendsawards #socialcreations A photo posted by @dogg_dbn_ on Sep 5, 2014 at 2:06pm PDT

 

 

3. Jada Pinkett Smith – 44

The petite actress is slaying fashions shows because of her incredibly toned body
