If you do not see the face of a 65-year-old Hollywood star, then this outfit in black with an emphasis on open legs could well pass for the image of a young model or young actress. But this is Melanie Griffith, who is alien to the conventions in the wardrobe of women 50+, 60+ and so on. With such a figure at any age it is easy to wear what you want, and she wears. Can afford.
Aging for the actress has become a test
Despite her celebrity status, Melanie Griffith has never been one of the fashionable people or celebrities whose style attracts attention. Strictly speaking, the actress is known to most of us as a star of the 80s, the ex-wife of Antonio Banderas and a woman who cannot do without plastic surgery. To the younger generation - like the mother of actress Dakota Johnson from "50 Shades of Grey."
Griffith, already after her 40th birthday, spoke with anxiety about age and aging, which does not please her. Back in the 90s, the actress began to do plastic surgery, trying to keep the elusive youth and beauty. But it was all in vain. Neither one nor the other could be kept, the 20-year marriage with Banderas broke up, and the roles in Hollywood from Melanie began to elude in the same way as her beauty.
Mini on the day of the 65th anniversary
On August 9, 2022, Melanie turned 65 years old. On the same day, the paparazzi captured the actress on the street with an unexpected outfit. A short fitted turtleneck dress greatly opened her legs, which were not hidden even by thin black polka-dot tights. Melanie completed the look with regular lace-up boots.
You can talk for a long time about should women aged 50+ wear such short dresses, skirts and shorts, showing their legs. An indisputable fact: Griffith's legs are in excellent condition, so even at this age they can be fearlessly opened without fear that someone will faint from a lack of aesthetics.
Escaped beauty (and health)
Griffith constantly appears in the lists of celebrities who, due to their addiction to plastic, have changed beyond recognition and lost the favor of directors. In the situation with the actress, there is no certainty that other stars have.
Melanie was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2009, so she underwent several facial surgeries that changed it. In 2010, the actress was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Having coped with both ailments, Griffith received the next test in the form of intestinal cancer. After successfully completing chemotherapy, the actress discovered that her skin cancer had returned.
The woman who fights
All these years, Melanie Griffith has been courageously fighting disease, not giving up. She shares her experience and photos, encouraging others to take care of their health, not to abuse the sun and always use sunscreen.
Given all of the above, and returning to the image of the actress, it is difficult to blame or shame her for a supermini at 65 years old. It seems that a woman who goes through such trials can wear anything and look whatever she wants. And walk through life (and down the street) walking wide. In a short dress and polka-dot tights.
