Patti Labelle makes 72 look like 42 and we love it! She’s always been able to deliver bold, note-worthy style.

Tina Turner

Turner’s abuse at the hands of Ike Turner is well-known in Hollywood and in 2005 she spoke candidly with Oprah about the abuse she faced, “He liked to show the public that he was in control and that he was a woman hater. He also liked for his women to get up and walk across the floor for display so that other men could see what he had. I didn’t know how to get out of the whole situation. There were many times when I picked up the gun when he was sleeping. “
