THE BIG FIVE-OH

We celebrate ten age-defying stars who have made turning 50 look effortless

ON paper, Melania Trump, Amanda Holden, Jennifer Lopez and Naomi Campbell hardly seem obvious bedfellows. But the quartet – along with several other A-list stars on both sides of the pond – all have one thing in common . . .  a close proximity to the Big 5-0.

Of course, as well as having annoyingly lucky genes, the Fit At Fifty gang share a passion for health and well-being and a devotion to eating well . . .  which probably also means drinking less. Here, we rank our pick of the age-defying stars as they hit the start of their sixth decade.

Amanda, who turns 50 next February, credits “viking warrior” workouts and yoga for her perfectly honed physique.

2. Jennifer Aniston
