15 Fierce and Fabulous Women Over 60

Tina Knowles is currently slaying on the cover of Ebony Magazine, reminding us just how fierce women over 60 are. Like Tina Turner, Diana Ross and more, Knowles' beauty, wisdom and grace has us jotting down notes. Here are 15 women over 60 who are still killing the game.

By Dominique Hobdy · June 16, 2015October 27, 2020
01
Tina Knowles

We’ve always been in awe of Mama Knowles beauty. When she released her wedding photos her flawlessness was reconfirmed, but her recent cover on Ebony Magazine seals the deal.

02
Diana Ross

Ms. Ross is the pinnacle of style and grace. She never fails to wow us with her impeccable fashion sense and undeniable presence. We love to love you Diana!

03
Diahann Carroll

The iconic actress’ birthday is July 17.

04
Cicely Tyson

She needs no introduction. Although she’s played the mother role in several of our favorite movies, she’s clearly a hot mama off screen!

05
Phylicia Rashad

From her days playing a successful wife, mother and business woman that everyone wanted to be to now, Phylicia Rashad is the epitome of beauty.

06
Debbie Allen

It seems as if Debbie Allen never runs out of energy! Whether she’s directing, dropping wisdom filled quotes or simply being her fabulous self, her jubilant spirit always shines through.

07
Chaka Khan

That hair! That skin! That shape! Chaka Khan has kept it tight over the years and even opened up about losing weight to combat a diabetes diagnosis. We’re definitely inspired!

08
Tina Turner

Tina Turner never fails to deliver grown woman fabulousness. We love how her young spirit shows on her radiant face.

09
Oprah Winfrey

Oprah gets better and better with time. The media mogul makes it all look so easy, we almost forgot she was 61.

10
Natalie Cole

One look at Natalie Cole and the first thought that comes to mind is, “yasssss.” The songstress is moving ahead full force with performances and appearance and we’re on board.

11
Loretta Devine

Her distinct voice and undeniable charm makes Loretta one of our favorite ageless beauties.

Michael Tran/FilmMagic
12
Alfre Woodard

Alfre Woodard emits a certain calm and coolness that we can all learn something from. The fact that her skin looks like a 30 year old’s? Well, we guess that’s just icing on the cake.

13
Patti Labelle

Oh, Miss. Patti. You’ll never catch her off her game. From the hair to her shoes, this diva is always on point.

14
Gladys Knight

We have a sneaking suspicion that the bright smile Gladys Knight keeps on her face has something to do with how radiant she looks.

15
Lynn Whitfield

What else is there to say other than Black really doesn’t crack? The legendary actress doesn’t look a day over 40.
