Move over all the young, fresh and fabulous. One very catchy header caught my eye a couple of days ago-”Over-40 actresses dominate September magazine covers”. Earlier this year, we had magazines and models bringing curvy back. Being a curvy gal myself, I loved it!

 Heck, even all of my naturally skinny besties loved the features, spreads and write-ups which boasted some super-sexy curves in them! And now the latest media frenzy happens to be an interesting article written by Doree Shafrir for Reuters.

Those in the fashion line or just ardent fans of fashion magazines would know that September issues are the biggest of the year with a chock-full of glossy ads. So this very remarkable coming September three of the most prestigious magazines will feature actresses in their 40s on the cover-Halle Berry will be on Vogue’s cover, Jennifer Aniston will be promoting “The Swtich” on Harper’s Bazaar and Elle has booked Julia Roberts, promoting her new film “Eat Pray Love”.

Projects/features director at Harper’s Bazaar, Laura Brown mentioned that ‘the average reader of the magazine is in their late 30s — and that the readers view women like Aniston as “aspirational.” “They’re cool, fashionable, interesting, compelling — they have something to say,” Brown said. “I love that they’ve grown into their style. One of the things about getting older is you do grow into your sense of self. You don’t look victim-y anymore.”‘

Lesley Jane Seymour, editor of More magazine, said “They’re the ones with real style, real staying power, real beauty,” said Seymour, who previously edited Marie Claire. “As the American population continues to grow older, everyone can relate better to a woman with a little wear on her tires. Who is there with any kind of real style or longevity in their 30s or 20s right now? Britney Spears? Kim Kardashian? These are flashes in the pan. Many are shallow reality stars like Snooki. Style icon? Um, talk to me in a year. Frankly, it’s here today, gone tomorrow. Lindsay Lohan? What’s to look up to?”

I might be in my mid-twenties, but really the celebs I look up to are these women all over-40! Without a doubt, all those years of experience and maturity does make them fabulous indeed. Oh, whether they are photoshopped much or botoxed much…is another story all together. But I still love these wonderful covers.

What do you think… FAB or NOT?
