When Botox and fillers were unknown to us, and plastic surgery was not as widespread as it is now, everyone was aging at the behest of nature. However, wrinkles and gray hair can never spoil natural beauty, since attractiveness has nothing to do with the age indicated on your passport. We compared photos of iconic movie stars of the 20th century at different ages to confirm once again that beauty knows no limits, and it only grows over time.

Fashion and beauty trends change fast, and the way modern celebrities look differs from what we see in good old movies. And it’s so exciting to see what classic Hollywood beauties would look like if they were in their prime today.

All the lovely vintage makeup! These ladies also continued to be charming. I encourage everyone to watch movies pre1980s, where (sadly) many people stop with vintage. Plenty in my generation at least have seen some. Back in the 90s we watched Music Man in Music class! Technicolor and black & white - so many choices within each.
