Chicago’s Coolest 80-Year-Old Reveals Her Beauty and Style Secrets

Meet Mamie Walton, local philanthropist, British import, and hands-down the coolest and most stylish 80-year-old we've ever met. We fell hard for Mamie for a million reasons, most notably her warm, positive personality and undeniable grace and style. We can only attempt to follow in her flawless footsteps, so to point us in the right direction Mamie shared her secrets for staying beautiful and maintaining stunning style at every single age. You'll have nothing but respect for this O.G. (Original + Gorgeous) once you learn how she's stayed this stunning into her 80s. These timeless tips from a master are ones you can't live without.

Beauty
1. Exercise. Mamie, a former dancer, is a firm believer in the benefits of exercise, and has always kept in shape. "Exercise is so important, it's kept me around for a great many years." She devotes at least an hour a day to exercise. "I spend at least 30 minutes each day at the ballet barre, and I use, you know, the Chinese Wand."

2. Skincare. "I'm very particular about my skin." Mamie was a fan of Erno Laszlo for 25 years, but eventually moved on to products from La Prairie, and her current favorite, from Dr. Ivo Pitanguy. "Specifics is his line, I just love it."

3. Positivity. "I am a very positive person." Mamie's positivity and bright personality were evident in our interview, and this tip came as no surprise. "My mother would say, 'Always have a smile,' I believe that positivity and showing interest in other people helps you look better."

Jessica Alba: She wears it well

Seven months' pregnant Jessica Alba shows how a huge baby bump needn't compromise style.

Attempting to look chic when you're in late pregnancy is a tough call.

Yes, of course, you're beautiful, you're glowing, you are doing something even more important than squeezing into J-Brand's 811 electric blue mid-rise cropped skinny jeans. But unless she's living in a nineteenth century novel - empire line dresses and lying-in chambers? God they had it easy - a pregnant woman still has to go out about her day, possibly go to work and almost definitely get dressed.

In pictures: Stylish summer pregnancies

This week Jessica Alba, due to give birth to her second child in September, has been doing that admirably, showcasing some key mother-to-be fashion skills even in the high summer heat of Los Angeles.

With all the extra pressure of being papped to add to the worrying inability to see her feet, Alba has to work extra hard. But like all fashion triumphs the secret lies with those efforts appearing entirely effortless.

Why being 'with-child' is no obstacle to looking good

In recent days Alba has worn a black maxi skirt, tight white vest and an unbuttoned denim shirt to great effect. This would have looked lovely even if she wasn't pregnant but she wasn't trying to disguise the bump. Alba's success in the picture above, too, (photographed with her daughter Honor Marie) comes with highlighting her new silhouette, in this case by belting a floaty fitting dress under her bust.

A bit of tone-on-tone accessorising keeps the look contemporary, as does layering a loose-fitting knit (or denim shirt) over dress or skirt, (trousers being pretty much an impossible dream by seven months pregnant).

Lastly, as Alba demonstrates so well, the final touch is to up-size your handbag. The unofficial rule? You're looking for an accessory that is bigger than your biggest body part.

Rachel Bilson you are soo cute

Rachel Bilson still manages to not only look like a million bucks, but to dress like one as well.

Seen here, Rachel is wearing a black bejeweled dress. It’s very simple and elegant, and it compliments her skin. The jewels at the neckline bring out her eyes, and her hair is elegantly pulled back into a bun.

She tops off the outfit with some gold chunky bracelets and she couldn’t look more stunning. Rachel has done it again!

And how cute does she look here?

Rachel Bilson’s Summer Style

Rachel Bilson has style all of her own. She knows how to dress every single time, wherever she goes and I can’t say that I’ve seen her in anything horrible. She doesn’t do anything over the top, and she keeps it simple and feminine.

In this picture, (sorry its old ie 2007- but Ilove it) Rachel’s showing off her long legs with this fabulous summer outfit. A pair of tight not-so-short but still short shorts, a white tee, a long sweater over, and a cute pair of shoes with a little heel. Absolutely perfect, in my opinion, and it looks great on her.

These shorts are very easy to work with because they’re not super short, but they’re also not bermudas- they’re in between and that’s what makes them so versatile. Of course, if you’re not too proud of your legs don’t wear tight shorts like that, but instead try something more loose.

The sweater over the outfit gives it a simple, comfy, look. It also makes the outfit look wearable pretty much anywhere, unlike other celebrity outfits.

Her glasses look gorgeous on her, and I like that she added the shell necklace as an accessory, it goes very well with the whole look.
