40 Classy Hairstyles for Women Over 60

I actually love everything that’s happening here. A clever mixture of grey, blonde, and a naturally darker undertone. Sharon stone knows how to work it. Looking gorgeous as always!

Gay Harden’s kept it super simple and sleek. A middle part and long straight hair with some light brunette highlights. This shade of brown has always looked so good with her complexion. 

This is Jamie Lee Curtis at the CinemaCon Achievement Awards in  2019 and she’s clearly decided to keep going full white! The most natural approach to hair at this stage in her life. She’s sporting a super short crop as it’s usual for her and looking fabulous.

Janet Jackson looks so pretty wearing her natural hair. The curly bob haircut is super flattering to her facial features and the highlights just work fabulously with her skin tone. I love this look for her!

Full glam on a night out with friends? I say hell yes! Glam always looks more glam when it’s got the waves to go with it. Embrace it like Raquel Welch is doing here and go have fun! You’d look amazing with similar golden layers and a side part.

No matter what haircut you’ve got, a hairstyle like a wavy ponytail can never go out of style. Sophistication and glamour packed tight and held by an elastic band. Make it curly, or wavy like Susan Sarandon. Rock it like you know how to!

Speaking of tight curls…Bernadette Peters is killing it! She looks so incredible with these ringlets and their bright red shade. A romantic look like this surpasses time.

Cherryl Ladd’s blonde lob and side cheeky natural side part exalt that youthful glow we all carry inside. I reckon this number would look a-ma-zing with some tighter curls. Consider different ways to style your haircut before you go get it done!

I’m a fan of blonde on blonde highlights. Let’s be honest, doesn’t that super light blond sort of make concealing gray hairs a little bit easier? I’m talking practicality, and Mary Hart definitely knows all about it! She looks stunning!

We all know Lynda Carter to be the O.G. Wonder Woman, no matter how good Gal Gadot has done so far (she’s amazing!). Lynda has certainly kept it close to Diana’s black layered mane, just a tad bit shorter.

This is a timeless haircut that will have you looking classy and fresh no matter what. Shohreh Aghdashloo wears it with a deep side part and curled ends.

Lobs are one of the most popular styles of the day. Add a mature edge to the traditional lob by adding loose waves and a choppy fringe.

Kim Basinger certainly knows she can rock a full head of blonde, but this time she complements the color with some very subtle highlights merging seamlessly.

With a darker base for the highlights, Julie Christie’s wavy bob mixes contrast in a clever manner. The silvery blonde highlights create a lovely visual texture for natural gray hairs and allow a better flow for a more natural change in style.

Tell your stylist you’re going for a long bob and then style it with some cool beach waves! Elizabeth Perkins wears this awesome look with a deep side-swept fringe and I absolutely love it.

I love this look on Rene Russo! It frames her face beautifully and emulates a super modern vibe we’re seeing everywhere. A messy bun with a few loose strands looks exceptional and mysterious.

I think we can all agree that Goldie Hawn is serving us some serious hair goals vibes here. The beachy blonde and highlights mix works wonderfully on here. But oh those 70’s bangs complete the look perfectly.

Christie Brinkley’s golden waves are the perfect contemporary detail to your new look. Go for some stylish waves to texture long and medium hair.

The 70s are making a comeback in different corners of the fashion industry as of late, and Susan Lucci knows it. Her retro bangs complement her loose, cascading waves perfectly. Try opting for a wispy bang like this instead of a full fringe.

To get even messier, consider taking a page out of Susan Sarandon’s book. Her curly ends are loose, tight, and facing different directions. Her bangs help keep her ‘do polished.

Don’t hesitate to add some volume! Cher’s black layered cut is youthful but age-appropriate because of all the extra volume in her hair. Use a large curling iron to create those voluminous curls.

Feel free to play around with color, too. Donna Milles’ waves are icy blonde, but her roots have darker highlights and tones to make it look more natural.

Illuminate your face with a few strategic highlights around it. When you curl your hair, these highlights will be even more pronounced, just like Diahann Carroll’s.

Jane Seymour’s strawberry blonde hair is to die for! Keeping it super classical at a considerable length, (oh yes, definitely consider extensions if you must) her hairstyle is all over romantic, finished with some cute bangs.

Feel free to rock some of the popular styles of your youth, like Jaclyn Smith’s huge wing-style curls. To keep it more modern, add some warm honey tones to your tresses.

Glenn Close’s crop looks stunning with the messy waves and pixie-like shape of her hairdo. Consider your natural texture if you’ve opted for hair around this length because it might be the easiest and least time-consuming style for some but for others, it might actually take longer to properly style than they expected it to.

Love bangs but not sure you want to actually do that again? Here’s something in between. Super flattering face-framing long curtain bangs! Pair them with a wavy bob as Sigourney Weaver has done and voila.

Rosanna Arquette’s bangs and layers do a fantastic job at framing her facial features. To style a look like this, you’ll be needing a straightener to smooth it over and the wispy layers should do their thing.

This hair may as well be called the Jane Lynch Haircut since she’s been known to wear it so spectacularly well for so long. Having hair as short as this opens the doors for a lot of possibilities if you’re in the mood for a color change.

Going on the short, but not-too-short side Frances Fisher has gone with a super wispy shaggy haircut and an angled fringe. The auburn tones look dashing contrasting with her skin, I’d definitely consider this an autumn-winter look.

With a side part and a medium-length haircut, Sharon Lawrence beams with a dirty blonde hairdo.

With soft and golden brunette curls, Susan Blakely and this shaggy bob are perfection. A little messy and flirty with some choppy bangs. A lovely hairstyle for any occasion. 

Going for a long bob or a lob, Catherine O’Hara opts for an ashy tone when picking her shade of blonde. Her coloring job merges creamy and ash tones to create a unique look for her.

Dana Delany looks incredible in strawberry blonde shades and here we have her rocking strawberry blonde bob. Adding a natural part and some inward-curled ends finishes her hairstyle.

Isabella Ferrari’s blonde long layers work wonderfully to frame her facial features. This haircut can be done at any length and still frame your face the way you see it here.

Emma Thompson’s mushroom crop is a bit different than what she made her general look with a short crop and layers. A change in the way your short hair frames your face can make you feel like a brand new you!

Don’t hesitate to get creative like Tilda Swinton. Her undercut and unique blowout are perfect for any occasion where you’d like to turn heads.

A short crop like this can become your best friend. It’s super easy to style if you’ve got your hair routine down and understand how your hair behaves at such legth.

Red is such a lovely color on Spanish film director, actress, and producer Gracia Quejereta. Her haircut is based on medium-length, long layers that thin down at the tips. Just lovely!

If you’ve got naturally wavy hair this hairstyle should definitely be on your inspiration board!

Grazyna Torbicka looks gorgeous with this cold shade of blonde. Keeping the hair to a medium length is also super flattering, but the show-stopper here is her 70s bangs! They look incredible and perfection was achieved for this look with some beachy waves.

The warm tones chosen to work with her highlights make her eyes pop in a lovely manner. The updo opens up her face and allows the right light to reach the eyes.

Jaclyn Smith’s chosen hair color is heavenly! Looks super smooth on her amazing healthy hair. To rock this look all you need is the determination to rock those curtain bangs and confidence.

There’s something about dark hair that tells a different story about your hairstyle. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to keep the gray hairs away. Lisa Vanderpump does this with a rich and dark chocolate brown tone, which looks like a fantastic complement to her eyes.

Highlights are an excellent way of giving your hair some dimension and sparkle. Michelle Pfeiffer’s long been serving us with the most exquisite examples of how to rock them.
Spice it up with some waves and you’ll get a fresh look straight out of the red carpet!

If you’ve got some grey hairs, embrace them! Age naturally and add some color to help highlight your grey hairs, instead of covering them. If Susan Sullivan looks this good grey, then so will you.

You can benefit from a blowout at any age. If you’re rocking a bob like Christine Baranski, consider getting a blowout to get more height, volume, and body to your ‘do.

Messy curls look elegant and beautiful at any age. Check out Michelle Pfeiffer’s for inspiration; the tighter curls, as opposed to loose waves, look mature and refined.

Don’t we all just want to look as cool as Isabelle Huppert here? Hair basically looking like she-didn’t-try-chic is the essence of her whole look. And the shade of chestnut exquisitely compliments her skin. Bravo!
