Pretty Gang: 40 Women Who Are Still Killing It In Their 40s
Like fine wine.
During Jennifer Lopez’s 46th birthday celebration last Thursday (July 25), the Latina multi-hyphenate shut it all the way down with her stunning, custom-made Bao Tranchi number that accentuated the diva’s signature curves.

Snoop around Hollywood, though, and J.Lo isn’t the only starlet snatching double-takes in her 40s. In the words of Victor Hugo, forty can be seen as "the old age of youth." While Pharrell and Nas have been repping for the men and rocking their ageless babyfaces for years, VIBE grabbed jaw-dropping pics of ladies over 39 who have been working it in their prime.
See who's looking good and doing even better above.
