These Best Hairstyles for Women Over 50 Are So Flattering (2024)

If you love the face-framing power of bangs but don't want to fully commit, consider longer center-parted bangs swept to both sides like Heidi Klum. As they grow out, they'll start to blend into your haircut.

A one-length bob hairstyle is probably one of the easiest short hairstyles to maintain, and it looks great on just about anyone. The lighter ends of Jennifer Garner's cut also help to open up the face.

A side-swept look is a simple way to switch up your every day style without actually making a cut! Bonus: It looks good with curly or straight hair. Start with the look of your choice, then part the hair slightly to the side before sweeping it over like Michelle Yeoh.

Jennifer Aniston's signature style will add lightness and warmth to your look thanks to long face-framing layers that are highlighted in a slightly lighter shade than the rest of her hair.

Subtle layers and differing lengths of Octavia Spencer's graduated bob work to highlight both her facial features and collarbones. Longer pieces in front even give the illusion of sharper angles.

The shag is so in right now! To copy Courteney Cox, ask for long, wispy bangs that melt into plenty of face-framing layers with choppy ends. You'll love how versatile it is!

The best thing about a rounded bob? It flatters nearly every face shape. While Lucy Liu's hair curves right at her jawline, you can keep this style a little longer or take it a little shorter depending on which features you want to highlight.

Extra volume does wonders for perking up the face! For the cut, you'll want to add layers on the top and sides. Then, you can recreate Jessica Lange's blowout style with a hair dryer. Don't forget to tease the top, too!

A long bob has so much appeal! It's versatile, low-maintenance, and super stylish. Julianne Moore has opted to give her lob some texture and movement with soft waves.

If you're constantly wearing your hair down, put a sophisticated touch on the style by tucking the front strands behind your ears. For a little extra oomph, tease your crown like Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you want to go shorter but not short, opt for a shoulder-length cut with tousled waves, like Meg Ryan.

You can never go wrong with glam waves! Cate Blanchett's deep side part here only adds to the drama.

A blunt bob is the perfect fashion accessory and elevates any ensemble. Alfre Woodard paired her bob with matching blunt bangs for even more style.

For a fun, flirty take on a classic pixie haircut, try Jane Fonda's voluminous version. Sideswept bangs make the perfect finishing touch.

Eighties hair is back—sort of. Get an updated crimped style with a little inspiration from curly hair queen Julia Roberts.

Emma Thompson's curly bob is the perfect combination of elegant and playful. Use a moisture-sealing frizzy hair product to help achieve this style.

Viola Davis' natural curls and coils are a thing of beauty. Viola has said the key to her look is lots and lots of moisture.

Laura Dern's long layers frame her face so perfectly, and they're sure to do the same for you! Pop in a few curls and you'll be good to go.

Nothing says polished like a long, straight haircut. Sandra Bullock adds modern appeal to this style with long layers and an of-the-moment center part.

Sandra Oh's long, curly locks have always been iconic, but the addition of curly bangs took things to a whole new level. This look is so fashion-forward!
