For many people turning 40 is like a death sentence. However, this is changing and this is due partly to many celebrities who are making age 40 and over, look like a movie. That’s right, 40 is the new 25, and I am here for it!
The truth is, if you are moisturizing, eating well and exercising, you may not need to resort to surgery to keep your body “snatched” after you turn 40. As a woman of a particular age, I have to say though, I am very inspired by several female celebrities that are “killing it” in their 40s . They are fit and sexy!
Here are some of the female stars who give me daily fitness and fashion inspiration: (Not in any particular order!)
Kelly Ripa
At 49 years her body and style is to die for ! Kelly keeps her body “snatched” honey. Both her and her hubby Mark Consuelos are looking fabulous in their forties.
Kenya Moore
Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kenya Moore is 48 years old and has the most amazing body,after having her baby girl, Brooklyn. Kenya has never looked better. Despite her marriage recently ending, she looks amazing and her style is 🔥🔥🔥. We have a feeling that Kenya is just going to keep on twirling on.
Gabrielle Union-Wade
Gabrielle Union is 47 years and she looks AMAZING! She does not take her fitness for granted. She is always working out, after all she is married to NBA legend Dwayne Wade. But it seems like he has to keep up with his fit and beautiful wife!

This “Blackish” mom is 47 years old and has the genes of her momma, the legendary Diana Ross. What do you expect? She is going to continue aging backwards. Her style is very versatile and her body is insane!
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian recently turned 40, but she might as well have turned 29, because this oldest Kardashian look like the youngest. She brings a whole new meaning to looking “fine”. If you are “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, you would know that she is very particular about what she puts in her body. And i have to say, it is paying off.
