What do Mariska Hargitay, Sarah Jessica Parker and Demi Moore have in common? Well, aside from being actresses, they’re all women over 40 with long locks.
While some fashion experts, like designer Carolina Herrera, argue that “Long hair after 40 is out in my book as it looks too messy and too young. Women need to learn how to age gracefully,” but most boomers who rock these locks really don’t care what Herrera might think. After all, if Mariska Hargitay and fashion icon SJP can do it, why can’t they?
The gallery shows 40+ actresses with long locks including Hargitay, SJP, Michelle Pfeiffer, Elle McPherson, Susan Sarandon, Julia Roberts, Julianne Moore, Demi Moore, Salma Hayek and Brooke Shields.
