Great genes and professional hair and makeup aside, one of the major contributing factors to Dame Helen Mirren’s ever-youthful look is her hip, but still age-appropriate hairstyle. A bob and bangs is always flattering—whether you’re 16 or 65 (Mirren’s age!). The above the shoulder length still offers plenty of options (ponytails, updos, etc) and the feathery bangs can be worn across the forehead, parted or sideswept; all of which adds up to a slew of stylish looks from a single great cut. Brava!
