I was checking to see if there were any new photos of Angelina Jolie, and up popped these photos of Jacqueline Bisset, Angelina’s godmother. Jackie looks good, doesn’t she? She’s one of those actresses “of a certain age” who haven’t f-cked with their faces. The list grows shorter by the day – and it includes awesome ladies like Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren and Judi Dench. Jackie should be on the list, because it’s just so refreshing to see a once-drop-dead-gorgeous woman age naturally, and still look so, so stunning. Jackie will be 66 years old in September – she’s a Virgo, like me!
But the thigh-high slit? And the navy tights? And the fug shoes? Okay, so maybe her fashion could use some work. But she still has the legs to pull it off, so I’m not complaining.
She’s lovely.
She is drop dead gorgeous! But the ensemble, in my opinion, isn’t the best…
D@mn…I wish my legs looked that good! And I’m in my mid-thirties! I think the outfit works for her, because of the dark tights and the fact that her shirt is not revealing at all. My simplified rule for not dressing trashy–highlight one body part at a time. Short, tight, or boobs hanging out–but only one at a time, please. 🙂
She looks great, and how inspiring that she doesn’t have any botox or fillers. Between her and Emma Thompson good posts today.
She looks hot, but I disagree that she hasn’t f’ed with her face. My mom looks like that at 65, and she had a facelift 10 years ago and let it settle. Bisset’s neck is too tight. I bet she had work done a while ago and just doesn’t get injectables.
So refreshing to see an elder woman proudly showing her age ! And she looks beautiful because she has aged gracefully contrary to all the other botox filled actresses out there !
edit: I do think she is all natural, including her neck.
(sorry for the bad English, it’s not my mother tongue).
Another gorgeous older lady? Charlotte Rampling!
Her neck does look youthful, but I don’t see anything on her face that would suggest a facelift. Maybe she had some kind of neck-lift?
Edit: Yes, Rampling has still got it! Jane Birkin looks good and natural too.
I agree with CB – looks like she had a facelift a long time ago. But it doesn’t look like she’s doing anything currently, like botox or fillers. Good on her, I say. The skirt’s a wee bit short, but lucky her she’s got the legs to pull it off.
BNice-I think your mama and my mama went to the same school of etiquette (assuming your mama gave you this lesson). You can cleave or show a little leg, but never both. And it’s commendable to see a lady “of a certain age” looking so natural. Nicole, Lara Flynn Boyle, and the rest could take notes from that list of ladies.
a little trivia;
She is Angelina Jolie’s Godmother
**beautiful woman.
She’s stunning.
I’m not saying she’s not beautiful but it’s a very strange outfit.
That outfit is the worst; and the slit is unnecessary and ugh. Having said that, JB looks fantastic, she’s still beautiful and looks like the person/beauty who I know, just with lines (wrinkles) now, it’s awesome – no lips and cheeks and shiny forehead and all that BS, she looks fantastic. Awesome.
Another beautiful woman to add to the list: Julie Christie.
Definitely Julie Christie!
And of course: Deneuve!
A real face!!! I can’t believe it!! She’s gorgeous! And Deneuve has recently had her face massively jacked so she’s off the list.
Deneuve has? What a fucking shame!
Off to find pics!
She looks stunning!!! Almost as good as Olivia Newton John.
Remember “The Deep” and her wet T-shirt?
Everyone freaked out. It was so sexy and provocative….times, they are a changin!!!!
WOW! She looks amazing! Too bad actresses are messing with their faces so much. It’s really sad. 10 – 20 years ago this B.S. wasn’t so rampant. Women haven’t come as far as we would like to think.
u know who else look every year her age
helen hunt and julia ormond
but i do find them really beautiful
specially ormond
i dont understand why bisset is jolies stepmother…
she looks beautiful.
I wish that Celebitchy could pass on these admiring comments to Ms Bisset. I think her efforts at aging gracefully should be applauded and encouraged. My kudos to her and her gene pool.
don’t kid yourselves lil’ bitchies…
this outfit SCREAMS older lady hanging on to her looks o’ yesteryear.
black & navy. really?
only old broads get invited to something fancy, and instead of purchasing something new, they ‘dig-out’ something from the back of the closet off a wire hanger, throws it on and say “this’ll do”.
rachel welch would sooner die.
p.s. –
mini skirt on tina turner = ok
mini skirt on everyone else old = tragic
jussayin. 🙁
She’s had work done, no question. Neck and facelift. Outfit is hideous, but the woman could never dress. Stylists weren’t de rigeur back then.
She has hot legs but is in dire need of a sensitive yet flamboyant stylist.
Otherwise, ’tis like a tacky Walmart frame hindering a rare Picasso.
Teresa Giudice on the other hand is like a sad, torrid clown painting on black velvet, yet striving-beyond her means-to wear frames crafted by Jean Paul Gaultier.
My mom and aunts (all between 60-70) look like that or with fewer lines (especially around the eyes) and they haven’t had any work done. Yes, I thank the gene pool every day…
I think she should have worn nude tights and the shows aren’t working.
She looks absolutely beautiful and graceful . French women don’t overdo it under the knife like US .
Shes still beautiful and if shes had work done its very good and natural…
Look at her decollatage!
If you look saggy and prune like there-theres not alot you can do about and hers looks great!
Grandma and I saw Calendar Girls with Helen Mirren, and for an old chick, Helen is way majorly bodacious. And Grandma says this Jaqueline chick was in a movie with Mickey Rourke, something to do with orchids? And she is looking younger than Katie Holmes, so I wonder if being married to a way older dude ages a lady?
california dude…come out of the closet, you’ve begun to annoy me 😉
She’s beautiful. But the ’80’s called and they want their shoes back.
@California Surfer: OMG, she sure was in Wild Orchid, I forgot about that movie, as well as the other chick who married Mickey after the film wrapped. I loved that movie, and Mickey with his crazy ass.
My mom has fewer wrinkles than this at 70 and has never had anything done. She had really oily skin when she was young and is slightly overweight (BMI around 26) now and says that’s part of it.
Thos fug shoes just happen to be the classic two tones Chanel shoes. Its celebrating 55 years as a classic.
The deep scooped neckline itself is flattering to her, the fabric of the dress and the excessive draping and pulling, not so much. I won’t even go into the bottom half and shoes.
She had something done at some point in the last five years to her neck and at least jawline. She ought to have at least some saggage there, even if she’s aging well. I like that she’s not peeling off the wrinkles obsessively, but, um, if she’s going to dye her hair, could she slide in some styling? I know she’s got some awesome natural curl happening, but she doesn’t need to be frizzy.
I feel sad, now I’ve turned this positive post about aging gracefully into snark, she is less yanked on that too many women her age, but if she’s going to tweak a bit, she kind of ought to do that part gracefully too.
She’s no Charlotte Rampling, but a beautiful, classy woman. Those spectator pumps are a little out of context, but who cares, they too are beautiful and classy.
Such a beautiful woman, but who dresses her (slit skirt)? Just horrible!
