My birthday was this month, and even though I wasn’t expecting it, I was hit with a wave of anxiety about my age and how little I’ve accomplished so far. So it’s a blessing that I got assigned this article about 12 people who prove that age isn’t a problem — it’s an opportunity!

Julia Hawkins

Julia shows that it’s never too late to start taking care of your body and do sports! She was 81 yers old when she became a runner and athlete. She got the nickname “Hurricane” because of how fast she was, and now, at the age of 102, she still keeps up the running habit!

Maye Musk

I mean, I could say a lot about Maye Musk and how Elon Musk is her son and how she’s managed to accomplish so much in her lifetime. But really, what I’d like to say the most is that OMG she proves that age is not a barrier to looking stylish and good and being amazing.

Nick Wooster

While we’re on the topic of stylish and cool people, I’d like to talk about my personal favorite — Nick Wooster. He’s a fashion consultant and a street style ICON. He’s been passionate about fashion since middle-school, and his whole life has been dedicated to looking cool as hell and never wearing the same outfit twice. Also, his shoe game is ON POINT.

Veruschka von Lehndorff

Veruschka von Lehndorff is 79 yers old and has had a long career as a model, actress, and artist. She took a short hiatus in her career, but now she’s back with a vengeance and absolutely slaying the fashion and modeling game!
