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 · Updated October 27, 2020

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
