Can You Believe She's 50? 15 Awe-Inspiring, Traffic-Stopping Women Who Wow on Shine

They say 50 is the new 40. At wowOwow, we say that 50 is the new...timeless. Suddenly, 50th birthdays begin yet another great stage in life for women everywhere, whether they're redefining the boundaries of "beauty," diving into a second or third career or simply keeping on keepin' on. Here wOw has collected 15 50-something females who have us exclaiming, whether because of how she looks, acts or just wOws, "Can you believe she's 50?!"

Ann Curry - November 19, 1956 (age 51)

Whether reporting on heart-wrenching violence in Africa or interviewing Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, Emmy-winning journalist Ann Curry is on top of the news and at the top of our list of women who have us exclaiming, "Now THIS is what 50 looks like!"

Iman - July 25, 1955 (age 53)

Somali-born supermodel Iman is as gorgeous and catwalk-ready today as she was 30 years ago. How does she do it? Perhaps it's her marriage to young-at-heart rocker David Bowie, or perhaps it's genetics. Either way, we really couldn't believe Iman is 50+ until, of course, we remembered what 50 is really all about these days.

Joan Jett - September 22, 1958 (age 50)

Bad reputation? We beg to differ! A recent addition to the 50+ club, we had to double-check Joan Jett's i.d. before granting her membership. Joan may love rock and roll, but we love her still-rocking, still-producing, still-wOwing life!
