Paulina Porizkova has been leading the charge when it comes to fighting ageism in Hollywood and society. Her Instagram account is filled with words of wisdom, which even led to a book deal for No Filter: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful, where she shares her intimate thoughts on being a woman in her 50s. However, the 57-year-old supermodel didn’t carry the torch alone in 2022, she sounded a rallying cry that was heard by so many other women who feel ignored once they reach a certain age.

While Porizkova was reminding women to champion each other, celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, Halle Berry, and Eva Longoria also shared their powerful thoughts. “It’s a business. I get it. Things are changing. There are a lot of beautiful women,” Curtis passionately explained to SheKnows at the Women in Entertainment Gala. “I was thinking about Emma Thompson this morning and I don’t know if you’ve seen her movie, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, she is spectacular. Then I saw Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Michelle Yeoh… Women are changing what women can look like, act like, physically what they can do —  and it just takes time.”

Millennials, like LeAnn Rimes, are also starting to get in on the act to end the stigma of perimenopause and menopause — they don’t want to suffer in silence as previous generations did. It’s a movement about starting a conversation, changing the narrative, and reminding society that women are striding forcefully into their power as they age. These incredible women are taking those aging stereotypes and throwing them out the window for good because beauty comes from the strength and wisdom of the years we have on this planet, not in an anti-aging serum.
