Naomi Watts, Robin Wright Sizzle in Sydney

I don't think they look "Hollywood" at all. Obviously no boob-jobs - good for them! They take care of themselves and look really great. We can all do that - you don't have to be a movie star. I'm 54 and still wear 6 and 8s. It just takes getting on a routine (3 xs a week) and eating in moderation.

since the average life expectancy is now over 78 years ... and the average person doesn't even retire and start taking it easy until they're in their sixties ... you can hardly call 40's "old"!!!

Good for them, they both look fantastic!! Older women that take care of themselves are very sexy!!

I love hot 40-something women.

The only job of actors and actresses is to look good. They spend 24/7 on it, including all types of beauty treatments and surgical intervention. They have nothing but time and money to burn.

What I wanted to say has already been said.
But I'll say it anyway.
How on earth can you say that a woman in her 40's who looks good
is somehow ''defying age'' !!
Sophia Lauren is ''defying age''
Raquel Welch is ''defying age''
NOT Robin Wright and Naomi Watts.

40s is no big deal. I asked a guy to guess my age today and he said 28 while I am 44.

I'd rather have a good looking older looking older lady than a 25 year old any day.

Them and 100 million other women their age look just as good.

I don't get this "Defying Age" comment Yahoo. A woman in her mid 40's is at her prime, and if they take care of themselves like these two beauties do, their 50's will be even better. I'm kinda fed up with the 20-something crowd that can't hold a conversation for longer than 5 seconds without saying, "Whateeeverrrr."

This is what passes for news now????

You don't need tons of money to look good at 40, you just need to eat right, use SPF30 or more every day (don't bake yourself in the sun), great skin care, exercise and live your life right. I will be 42 this year (and yes, my avatar is a recent pic of me) and I sure as heck don't make anywhere near these ladies...yet I get taken for 20 something all the time due to diligent skin care and taking care of myself.

I guess if arent a size 0 and under the age of 25 your are considered done. WRONG AGAIN.

Let's not age these babes before their time.They have many years before retirement.People get too over the top with numbers.The eyes don't deceive you here.

my 41yo wife looks way better than that and she wears a bikini

I'm not sure the adjective "sizzle' is the best for this pic, or we have different ideas of what it means... while the ladies do look very lovely, they also look very ordinary... much like any other two ladies one might see on the beach, certainly not jaw dropping, or head turning...

i know more who look better in their fourties than in their twenties besides what makes fourty so old

Ummm I think it's about about time "we got over the age thing...........

If you think these broads look hot, stay out of Miami - the number of gorgeous women of all ages here will give you a heart attack.

I'm 43, have never had my hair or nails done professionally, certainly do not have their money, and could still knock their socks off .... I love articles that show that 40 and up can still be sexy, but Hollywood has much better examples than this.....
