Celebrities At 45: Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry And Others Make It Look So Easy

The Huffington Post Canada   First Posted: 09/02/11 10:48 AM ET   Updated: 10/26/11 06:12 AM ET

Is 45 the new 30?

Halle Berry, arguably one of the world's most beautiful mothers, celebrated her 45th birthday last month at the beach, wearing a coral bikini and looking almost preternaturally gorgeous.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford also turned 45 this year, and shows off her figure to great effect in a skintight outfit on the September cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. She also just wowed the crowds at the Venice Film Festival, making us wonder how her skin stays so flawless -- all the time.

So it got us thinking: is something going on? Maybe 45 is the new 30, only better. There are several prominent women who are at the height of their careers, making a comeback, who are cancer survivors, raising families... and looking super-hot.

To test our theory, we created a gallery of well-known women who are 45 or turning 45 this year. See for yourself what the new 45 looks like.

Hottest mom alive Halle Berry says her secrets to staying young are focusing on family, hitting the gym and eating healthy. If it was that easy, we'd all look like Halle Berry.

I'm sure if I had a personal trainer, plastic surgeon, and lots of money I could look 45.

The one thing they seem to have in common is that they are not eating themselves to death.

Cindy Crawford and Deborah Unger both look rough for their ages.

The rest are appropriate. Unless a person has neglected themselves or are meth addicts, most 45-year olds can be healthy, attractive, and still have a way to go before these silly lists are needed.

Although I don't think 45 is old, I agree with you on Cindy Crawford, Deborah Unger, and even Cynthia Nixon. Halle is the best--absolutely stunning. Halle will be stunning even into her 60s and beyond. Like I said before, people with dark complexions age really well. Fairer complexions appear to wrinkle prematurely. Doesn't seem fair, but that's life.

Stacy Dash should've made this list though she doesn't turn 45 until January 20th. She seemingly hasn't aged in 20 years and, in my opinion, is one of the finest women in the world eclipsing any of the women mentioned here.

Silly article. As if people in the 45 year old range are supposed to normally look old and broken down. This article must have been written by a 20 year old...

I wonder why women allow this kind of media to degrade them?
