To age well is the biggest blessing to have in anybody's life. It holds more significance in a woman's life because women are constantly judged by their physical appearance. To outgrow their looks is a huge step towards finally being liberated. As Woman's Day 2012 is just round the corner and it should ideally be a celebration of the power of women, we could take a look at the female celebrities whose age has only added to their beauty.

If you are to understand the real meaning of 'inner beauty' on Women's Day 2012 then you have to take a look at these women who have aged so well that they actually started looking better with age.

Female Celebrities Who Aged Well With Grace:

1. Rekha: The eternal Rekha we should say actually. Age does not seem to touch her at all. You see the Rekha of Umrao Jaan and the Rekha today and all the change you will notice is a few fine lines here and there. Her trademark style of broad border Kanjeevaram sarees looks very becoming on her and so does her long locks left open and gathered sideways on her shoulders.

2. Hema Malini: If we have talked about one Tamil beauty, how can be leave out the other one. Age on these celebrities has done wonders. While Rekha is the provocative beauty, the diva of sensuality, Hema, it is just a divine bliss to look upon Dream Girl.

3. Meryl Streep: It is not because of her looks but her sheer talent that she won the Oscars this year. The Iron Lady who was once the fragile 'Sophie' (Sophie's Choice) has definitely aged well. At 63 she bagged an award for the best female lead and that too in a romantic movie; this fact itself speaks volumes for this great performer and also her process of aging gracefully. She carries those extra 'age' pounds as if they were baby fat!

4. Neetu Singh: It is surprising how someone who started out as a child actor and quit her acting career in her twenties could be the paradigm of grace and be so in a fashionably correct way. This female celeb probably achieved the best shape of her life after having two children and being a woman well over 40! She has described her young self as 'fat' but today, the mother of a leading superstar can give all the beauties in Bollywood a run for their money.

5. Demi Moore: Is she really that old? That is the beauty of how well Charlie's evil angel has maintained herself; you probably did not even realise when she crossed the 40 mark on the age meter. Whether it is the super fit body (from Maple syrup diet) or the young ex husband (Ashton Kutcher), she knows the magic trick.

Women's Day 2012 is really about celebrating the dignity with which these women have handled age and that is why they are on our aged well list.
