We routinely target women over 40 for first-class inspiration for fashion. After all, it is this set that it seems to always get thanks to style attempts over the years. While we recently highlighted the basics of going out that women in this age group swear by, we thought we would delve deeper into the specific clothing silhouettes they rely on.
Given that we are often looking for celebrities for many of our style recommendations, we felt it appropriate to present the pretty evening dresses that A-Listeners over 40 often wear for events and parties due to their timeless and classic nature.
With that in mind, keep scrolling for a little visual inspiration showing some of the timeless celebrity clothing styles like Jennifer Aniston and Kerry Washington. Also, buy inspired styles that are suitable for everyone of all ages – because age has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear.
On Jennifer Aniston: Prada dress. With a timeless LBD, you clearly can't go wrong. While Aniston opted for a strapless silhouette here, cuts with long sleeves or with a turtleneck detail also feel incredibly modern.
On Taraji P. Henson: Alexander Wang's dress. If you want to make a fashion statement, an asymmetrical dress in almost any fabric or color is just the thing.
On Jennifer Lopez: Alexandre Vauthier dress. On the way to a fancier place? Wear a striking midi dress with unique and intricate details such as a lace top, a high slit or a metallic fabric.
On Kourtney Kardashian: Gucci x Tom Ford dress. Leather separations have been very popular in recent seasons – especially leather dresses as a cool option for an evening with strappy sandals.
On Katie Holmes: Khaite dress. A white dress could be an alternative to the classic LBD if you want to replace it. A style like this with shoulder detail and ankle-sweeping hem just feels that way.
On Kerry Washington: David Coma Dress. There is nothing better than a unique mini dress that stands out. Choose a metallic stunner like this, add paragraphs and you're done.
