Meryl Streep
This Academy Award winner is like a Chanel jacket, timeless and classic. She can hit the carpets in sexy numbers and pick age-embracing roles (like It's Complicated) that make us heart her more than Mama Mia! for sure.
Kim Cattrall
What would this gallery be if it weren't for Sex and the City's Samantha Jones? Sure, SATC has made fiftysomething the new twenty, but it's the blonde behind Samantha that made it hot.
Susan Sarandon
Tasteful on the carpet and when she discusses her private life, S.S. always finds a way to seem classy and sexy. Hey, anyone else remember her cougar stint with Matt LeBlanc in Friends? Maybe that's where Courteney Cox got the idea!
Annette Bening
Get ready to see A. all over awards season in 2011, and we can't wait to see the glam Warren Beatty's wife brings. We'd take this woman's natural look over Meg Ryan's any day.
Sigourney Weaver
Sure, starring in the most successful film ever can make anyone gal glow, but it's S.W.'s red-carpet confidence that makes us heart her so not-overly Botoxed face.
Glenn Close
Fatal Attraction was hot for a reason. Close has been hitting red carpets for years from the Oscars to the Emmys, and her au natural glow is something we can totally appreciate.
Oprah Winfrey
Who said benevolence can't be sexy? O.'s successful empire not only makes her a hot commodity, but her big heart makes her that much more fab in our book.
Helen Mirren
Any babe who can go from winning an Oscar to starring in a movie with Russell Brand immediately intrigues us. Helen's sass and ass ain't too bad, either.
Jane Lynch
The outspoken Glee actress is barely old enough to qualify for this list, but any gal who can go from a Reebok track suit to Emmy gown chic deserves some praise.
Angela Bassett
We're more excited to see what this babe has to offer in the sure-to-be hit Green Lantern over Blake Lively. Bassett has been nailing her carpet poses for years, experience is sexy people.
