The Most Stylish Celebs Over 50, According to My Mom
She’s back! And by she, I mean my mom, who—personal bias or not—both gives excellent shopping advice and, of course, has great taste. She might be a woman of few words (as you’ll soon discover below), but what she does have to say is definitely worth a listen.
Since she recently turned 57 years young and is chicer than ever, I figured I’d ask her for her take on who the most stylish celebs over 50 are these days and why. Some, like J.Lo, probably won’t surprise you at all since they’re constantly the spotlight, while others, such as former French first lady Carla Bruni or Oscar winner and Dame Helen Mirren, will have you wanting to keep an eye on them moving forward. To see and read about all eight women who made the cut and do a little shopping along the way, just keep scrolling.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
