When I was 20 I was a hot mess. I can’t imagine being in the public eye at that age, much less crashing through the next ten years in the spotlight. But such is the life of a movie star, model or famous musician. And I think in the case of these ladies, time has treated them kindly. Check out the journeys of these 14 celebrities from ages 20 to 30, and how their appearances changed… or didn’t!
Talk about a woman who improves with age! Drew Barrymore is better than ageless — she plateaued at 30 and just stayed there. She’s 37 now and still rocking makeup ads and appears as young as ever. She’s adorable. Have a look through the gallery to see more celebs at ages 20, and then at 30 to see how some have improved, and some have defied the passage of time altogether!
Who is the most surprising to you?

Wow, this blog actually made me feel better. Today is my 25th birthday and I’m having some “ohmygod I’m getting so old” thoughts, but the majority of these women actually look BETTER at 30 than they did at 20. Hooray! I’m not doomed yet!

See? 30 isn’t that bad.

When I was 27 some 18 year old guy was hitting on me. When he asked me how old I was he was really shocked as if approaching 30 meant you’d have all this grey hair, frumpy granny body, and falling stockings. Now Im 31 and Im still shocking people…. granted is my skin EXACTLY the same as it was when I was 16? No, but that doesnt mean I’m wrinkled and worn out. I have less pimples thank god! Point is, age will catch up with all of us, its what you do to take care of yourself every day that determines if you age gracefully or not.

Sometimes it’s a good thing to age. I wish I’m aging as well as these celebrities. I don’t have many pictures of myself the last ten years. And honestly, I don’t know if I want to have them. I think I’d burn them.

They all look good. Most of them look better older.

@islandgypsygirl@xanga - Because she turned 30 in 1999. Ms. Aniston is in her 40s.

I can’t believe some of these women are 30+. Of course, I don’t believe that they’re “the norm” either.
