Will Smith - Will Smith has managed to maintain the boyish charm of his Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days despite twenty years, three kids and a series of more serious roles.

Beverly Johnson - Vogue's first Black cover girl credits golf, a time-tested skin care routine and "dating younger men" for her ageless looks.

Jennifer Lopez - Don't be fooled by the date on her passport, Lopez still looks like Jenny from the Block. The Puerto Rican beauty, 43, has worked hard to maintain her glowing skin and famous curves, even at the cost of being labeled a diva. Among the things J.Lo reportedly can't live without: oxygen facials, twice-a-day workouts and jars of La Mer cream that cost over $300 a pop. Her relationship with 27-year-old dancer Casper Smart can't hurt, either.(Photos: Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage/Getty Images; Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Fight Night)

Pharrell Williams - Like Benjamin Button, hip hop super producer Pharrell seems to be aging backwards.

Janet Jackson - This 44-year-old's waistline may have fluctuated over the years, but Janet's face has stayed youthful throughout.
